Funded Activity Summary

Investigating listening and performance strategies for microtonal composition. This project is important because it offers a new theoretical framework for understanding music independent of contemporary cultural boundaries. It opens up a new musical enquiry that will apply across quite different performance traditions and builds on recent collaborative initiatives by Australian musicians and researchers, the most recent collaboration involving counterparts from India. In addition to a major publication and conference proceedings in both creative and scientific disciplines, research findings will result in new approaches to composition, performance as well as an innovative musical instrument design that is informed by a new empirically derived approach to tuning.
