Abstract (key Concepts)
ACUTE: for Percussion Quartet and Fixed Media (tape)
Presents: ‘Searched Objects’ as instrumental Forces (After F.O.)
Focus: Recontextualises research in Typology and Morphology of Sound Objects
Examines and scores:
- The ‘ideal’ (sonic object to be found) with
- Its ‘mirror’ (the reconstruction of the ideal)Video 1 - Ensems excerpt

CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE (PRESENT!) WORK
Discussed the implementation aspects of Schaefferian Typomorphology (in ACUTE)
Introduction of the concept of Search Objects (after Found Objects)
Proposed a new route for creative expression Informed by Tarkowskij’s ideas and methodologies in Film (when exposing the Ideal to its Mirror)
SMC’08 Berlin
Examines a new methodology to Score Sounds in composition using Spectromorphology vocabulary and grammar
Real-time Music Scores: Chance and determinacy for compiling pre- composed materials for Instrumental forces and Fixed Media using a Typomorphology classification of sounds
