“…What language and methods are appropriate for describing and comparing intra-actants, that evade the trap of a decompositional approach? Perhaps a new approach is needed that builds on astute methods like micro-phenomenonology [52,53] to compare multiple experiences of the same moment, leading to a macro-phenomenonological account.…”

Digital scores allow for new ways to experiment with agency and perception within composition and performance. My recent works Censoring Experiment and Shadow Aria examine the possibilities for digital scores to incorporate methods of censorship with the aim of highlighting and unpacking it as a social issue. Despite an assumption that censorship is an issue of the past or limited to non-western countries, recent cases of artistic censorship in Australia and North America have brought attention to the ongoing problem, particularly as it affects marginalised artists and composers. In this paper, I discuss my two pieces that attempt to address, complicate, and subvert the issue of artistic censorship through experimental composition. Digital scores are the medium that allows these pieces to exaggerate real censorship and test how performers react creatively to censored environments. I argue that animated notation and mixed-media environments created through technology give me the ability to replicate and change a real-life social issue within a performance, letting my art not just comment on a political question, but work towards new insights through practice-based research.
