Undersong: Composition for Solo Performer and Interactive Digital Notation

Research output: Non-textual formComposition

Abstract

Undersong is a composition for solo performer with interactive digital notation, exploring dynamic morphology of embodied concepts of stability, balance, and tension. Addressing Leppert’s (2017) assertion that notation abstracts music’s embodied essence, this research investigates how musical form can emerge through networks of interaction rather than static notation or free improvisation. Grounded in Ingold’s correspondence theory (2013), Undersong treats notation, performer, and instrument as co-creators of form (Armitage & Magnusson, 2023). Undersong integrates real-time FFT sound analysis to profile and visually represent the musician’s tone, dynamically influencing performer interaction
