Julie has embarked upon a PhD course since October 2013, investigating the concept she names ‘physical composition’ as a valid compositional technique. You can find a link to her ongoing blog that runs alongside her creative practice research here: http://physicalcomposition.tumblr.com/.
The blog exists in parallel with her research into the proposed notion of ‘physical composition’; both as a compositional tool and in its critical articulation.
“My sound art practice consciously utilizes physical elements in its processes, exploring the notions of performance and audience-ship; physicality and intimacy; subjectivity and the personal through the agency of the body. I work with sound in the paradigms of installation, composition and performance with the physical as a main compositional strategy.
This blog documents my ongoing creative practice research with thoughts and writings on my varied experiences relating to ‘physical composition’. I hope you enjoy this collection of articles, posts and thoughts that as a whole help to create a reciprocal dialogue between my intuitive creative ‘physical’ practice and other artists’ work.”
More details to follow on this page as research progresses through the creation of brand new physically composed works.
