Graduate work
Zeitgeber, a piece for chamber ensemble and electronics, explores the relationship between body movement and the embodied experience in musical perception and production. The work focuses on the basic bodily patterns of motion and their correlation with rhythmic and harmonic motion in music. The application of body movement and the embodied experience to the fundamental elements of a musical composition serves to emphasise the significance of the body in facilitating the creation of an expressive and visceral work.
