Weng, Chih-Hung (2007). Symbolism and Chinese culture: conceptual and practical resources in the composition of electroacoustic music. (Unpublished Doctoral thesis, City University London)

Abstract

This thesis accompanies the five electroacoustic compositions of the Bardo series and presents a discussion of symbolism within contexts of Chinese culture and the electroacoustic medium. The work develops a view of interaction between cultures of East and West, considering issues raised in terms of philosophical research and as a substantial creative resource for composers and listeners.
