Idiosyncratic approaches to electronic music-making through mobile technologies
No full textThis paper examines the transformative impact of mobile technologies on electronic music-making, highlighting how portable apps and hardware enable idiosyncratic approaches beyond traditional live and studio setups. Drawing on the authors’ extensive experience within and beyond Clan Analogue—Australia’s longest-running electronic music collective—the research contrasts conventional configurations with innovative mobile instruments and apps. By analysing a range of tools, from budget-friendly synthesisers to advanced smartphone and tablet apps, the paper explores how mobile technologies foster new creative possibilities. Using qualitative methods, the authors integrate personal experiences and a broad examination of music equipment to investigate the setting-based mobile music creation model, which emphasises the influence of location and time on the creative process. Case studies illustrate how mobile technologies support music-making in diverse environments, encouraging flexible, spontaneous composition and live audience interaction. Findings demonstrate that mobile devices challenge standardised setups in education and performance, enabling more personalised, improvisational, and adaptive practices, which can incorporate live audience interaction. This shift points to more fluid and individualised forms of musical expression, redefining traditional paradigms in electronic music

Bodies That Sparkle and Spill: A Poetics of the Burlesque Parent
No full textThe embodied experiences of burlesque performers during motherhood are explored in an online discussion, through femme theory, Bakhtin\u27s grotesque body, and Butler\u27s gender performativity. The participants\u27 bodies are explored as sites of contestation, able to perform diverse roles simultaneously. Through performance, Mulvey\u27s masculine gaze is inverted into a poetics of feminine praxis
In Tensile // In Between
No full textIn Tensile // In Between operates as both artistic artefact and theoretical critique, demonstrating how creative practice can embody and extend academic discourse. This creative-critical work examines shifting perceptions of course delivery within creative tertiary education, arguing that project-based learning enables the seamless embedding of socio-cultural discourse and theories within practical making processes.
The poem interrogates how educational environments can cultivate critical thinking through what I term tensile pedagogy —an approach that maintains productive charge between opposing forces rather than seeking synthesis or resolution. This concept builds upon King\u27s (2017) work on pedagogy as tension, which argues that tension and incompleteness are part of education, especially within the practice of pedagogy and radical relationality brings necessary uncertainty to educational encounters
Considerations when exploring one’s arts-based practice as research
No full textThis article shares insight into some of the knowledge gained on a higher degree research (HDR) study journey, which I wish I had access to prior to my commencement of that journey. I presented this on 8 July 2025 at the SAE University College Week 7 Forum, and trust this insight may be of interest to those SAE faculty who are new to higher education (HE) research, who have an interest in exploring one’s own arts-based practice as part of the Scholarship and Research activities now being encouraged at SAE University College
CPR: Knowing Through The Making
No full textThe methodologies used in the creation of artistic work and, in the academic setting, the explanation of the processes of artistic inquiry and their findings is necessarily non-prescriptive and potentially requires artists to innovate on methodology, combining existing methods and creating new ones on a case-by-case basis. Creative Practice Research addresses these issues by offering a methodologically diverse range of principles that artists can use to articulate their subjective creative practices in an academic setting, challenging traditional research methods while also legitimising creative work within academia. The following paper provides a brief application of this methodology in the context of an artefact-exegesis Masters thesis, with a screenplay as the creative artefact
Music Portfolio: Music inspired by the Bahá\u27í Writings
No full textThis growing collection of music consists of compositions in various styles inspired by and incorporating the sacred writings of the Bahá\u27í Faith. Musically, the styles range from classical orchestration, a capella choir, pop ballads, electronica and rock n roll. Many of the pieces employ an AI singer system - Synthesiser V, which allows the pieces to have high quality vocals. Other pieces are recorded by Tara Makerere. While the AI is not involved in composition. The use of an AI in this way allows a compositional approach that is embedded in performance, not unlike the techno-creative processes of using sample-based orchestration. The approach was presented at the Artistic Program at ISEA2024 (International Symposium of Electronic Arts). In addition, AI (MidJourney) is used to create imagary for the video element of these pieces
