Abstract

In a contemporary context, works that are highly specific to the artist’s life are commonplace in fields such as performance art. However, this approach is only tangentially employed when it comes to artistic applications of music technology. This paper explores the potential of composing electroacoustic music in the form of’music autoethnographies,’ a way of qualitative research that aims to systematically analyze personal experience to understand a specific context. We document our specific approach by contrasting the existing literature and related art pieces with the work of American composer Becky Brown.
