The Irreducible and The Reflexive: An investigation into the relationship between notation and creation in my artistic practice

Hugo Bell

About this exposition

How does the holistic relationship between poiesis and notation impact the compositional process? As external layers of influence are placed on top of one another throughout the compositional process, their interdependence on one another grows also. In this research project, I want to address the role that notation plays in the creation of a score, but from a holistic perspective which considers all aspects of the compositional process. Whilst there has been plenty of scholarship around the interpretation of scores, there is minimal research into notation as composition. I will place one of my recent compositions at the centre of this research project, Between The Smallest Of Spaces, a piece which has undergone numerous rewritings over the past three and a half years with each new version raising its own set of notational challenges.
