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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
