Nance, Richard Wesley 2020-03-04T16:37:11Z 2020-03-04T16:37:11Z 2007 https://dora.dmu.ac.uk/handle/2086/19298 Each piece of music in this research is meant to explore a different aspect of music as a plastic art. Conclusions reached in the review of each new work were used to guide the development of the next. The notions of plasticity in sound, and sound as a plastic material were used to give the overall research a focal point. In exploring different types of composition, reciprocal plasticity between the materials and the developing ideas of the music are discussed in the context of ecological and biological psychology. By restricting all these works within the genre of 'plastic arts' it became necessary to introduce a new technique for instrumental composition. An aural model is used to replace the traditional written score. These instrumental works were developed entirely within an auditory situation.
