Thanks for reply. It is really helpful. 
The term I used , according to Landy's writing : typically designated the art 
form in which the sound is the basic unit. 
I'm thinking about it and developed main question and sub questions,here is a 
brief description :


1 The study purpose and sub-questions
1.1 Main Purpose
For the perception mechanism of human being, every part of the outer world is 
affecting the final cognition. Thus, as sound-based music, the sources may 
naturally have extra-musical information. How to use that information 
appropriately to create artwork so that it could arouse people??s association 
and extra-musical experiences? And, How to combine it with other art forms and 
effectively creates interesting perception experiences?  

1.2  Perception 
For receiving and processing, sensory system will be used and worked together 
all the time. For artwork creation, including sound-based music composition, 
would it possible to break the typical perception habit or used it to create 
artwork according to perception principles? 
1.3Cognition
In this part, the research question focus on cognition process (understanding 
through thought, experience, and existing knowledge, etc.). 
In the light of above theory, if sound-based music or audiovisual artwork could 
follow the path of cognition process, will it creates fantastic artwork that 
brings abundant information even dramatic experiences? For example, using 
symbolic melody, lyrics or sound with special meaning, and composed them 
appropriately, it would be act like ??access tools?? (Leigh Landy, 2007: 27) 
and enhance the experiences to audiences and assist them understand the work 
more easily. Thus, people will focus on experience the feelings or interact 
with artworks rather than struggle with questions like what is going on here. 
1.4 Development 
To develop the research ideas basis on psychoacoustics and cognitive psychology 
mentioned above, when combining the sound-based artwork with other forms of 
art, will innovations happen by this combination? 
1.5  Sound sculpture
As mention above, sound sculpture basis on sound-based music. Essentially, 
music is trying to transmit experiences to audiences, so how about creating 
sound sculpture? It is like the natural world presented to us: when we come 
into a place, we will hear and see the surroundings and then understand what 
has happened here, so as ??sound sculpture?? mentioned here. 
As I'm new to write proposal, what is the essential elements to form a research 
object and how specific should it be? I'm going to manipulate the principles 
and compose serious of artworks . Then extract the result to form a final 
dissertation. 


Thank you very much,
Yilin
