dialogically with the written thesis to address the research aims and objectives. The purpose of this research is to provide a greater understanding of improvisation’s role as a compositional tool in Rock music, and the insights provided should contribute to the elucidation of popular music and studio recording practice generally.
The thesis - supported by creative practice - explains how improvisation contributes to studio composition and how interaction with technology and other performers facilitates and shapes the music. It investigates tensions created when improvised performance intersects with production, and how this dynamic operates in the composition process.
