The Composer As Producer (2015)

Kellen Mc Daniel

About this exposition

Name: Kellen McDaniel Main Subject: Viola Research Coach: Theo Verbey Title of Research: The Composer as Producer: Exploring New Music Technology Research Question: What are some examples of exciting new music technologies and how are they implemented? Summary of Results: Technological advances have resulted in an explosion of new tools for the creation of electronic music. Contemporary classical composer’s usage of new music technology has lagged far behind its rapid development due to longstanding prejudice and hurdles of technical literacy. I have written two contrasting etudes as a jumping off point for the exploration of new music technology developed within the last 5-10 years, fully produced using a wide array of cutting edge software. Documentation included provides insight into the methodology of studio production, as well as scores, MIDI files, and the recordings themselves, which will allow users to jump right in where I left off and see precisely how all results were achieved. The presentation will include a performance of both etudes as well as demonstrations and discussion of the specific techniques utilized in their production. Biography: Kellen McDaniel is a violist and composer from Los Angeles, California. He received his BM in Viola from The Juilliard School in 2013. He is currently pursuing an MM at the Royal Conservatoire of The Netherlands, Den Haag with a particular interest in chamber music and new music technology.
