***

Music and/as Process study group takes its impulse from Steve Reich’s 1968 essay ‘Music as a Gradual Process.’ We explore issues related to and arising from processes in music which determine sound-to-sound detail and overarching form simultaneously. In particular, music that performs process. Music in which processes are audible, perceptible, or otherwise concurrent with the music during its performance.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
Composition
Improvisation
Performance practice
Musicology of process
Any further musical activity in which process plays a main part

The study group also has a key interest in practice-led research and seeks to present such work on an equal footing as traditional papers at each event.
