- A major output of the AHRC-funded project, ‘New Multimedia Tools for Electroacoustic Music Analysis’ (2010-13, PIs Emmerson and Landy, £246.5k + studentship £51k). The MTI Research Centre hosted a series of symposia with contributions from a wide range of practitioners and researchers several of whom contributed to this volume. Aiming to challenge the narrow view of analysis confined to core traditions, the book reflects the stages of this Project: (1) clarification of questions, needs and assembly of existing tools, (2) development of new tools and approaches (notably prizewinning software EAnalysis by Project RA Couprie (see Ch.8)), (3) application to a wide range of practices. We ensured the inclusion of such as computer game audio, ‘turntablism’, sound art, improvisation, ‘electronica’, also new approaches such as computational methods, interactivity, cultural borrowing, community participation, educational communication – to expand established methodologies.

Emmerson’s contribution: the jointly written Introduction and Chapter 1 - primary author of the sections pp.18-26 (‘Genres and categories’ through to ‘Conclusion’). These inform his solo Chapter 16 – ‘The analysis of live and interactive electroacoustic music’, starting from listening and only then moving towards the score.
Landy’s contribution: the jointly written Introduction and Chapter 1 - primary author of the section pp.9-18, ‘Some important points of departure: the four-part question and a template for analytical discussion’. These inform his solo Chapter 9, ‘Trevor Wishart’s Children’s Stories II’ written in a language suitable for younger listeners and their teachers.
