The seven works primarily explore combining acoustic (trumpet and drums), electro-acoustic (electric guitar, bass guitar and pickup equipped vibraphone) and synthetic (electronically created synthesizer patches on a Roland XV5050 Sound Module) instruments, mixing musical styles, using rhythm and duration as a governing force in composition, using an extensive harmonic palette and incorporating technology. In this document, the scores are presented in full in a Portfolio Volume, accompanied by recorded performances in audio and visual formats and written analyses of the compositions. Included is a discussion of archetypal composers, similar stylistic traits of their music to mine, and conclusions drawn from the project. The document is completed by a bibliography and discography.
