Transmission strategies and blossoming participants in my composed music

This commentary accompanies a portfolio of six compositions written between 2017 and 2019 with different co-makers. It discusses the core question explored in this portfolio: how the idiosyncrasies of the participants (makers, performers, audience members) are highlighted and enhanced through the experience of the pieces, as well as the importance of the participants’ blossoming in this process. The first chapter looks at the compositional and notational strategies that make this enhancement possible. The second chapter defines and explores in detail the nature of the blossoming, by thoroughly discussing each piece and type of participants.The six pieces of the portfolio are intermedia co-creations. They range from solo to ensemble works and are for performers ranging from professionals to amateurs and students. They all rely on the benevolence of the participants, who are constantly being asked to make important and strategic decisions
