National Refereed Presentation: “Inspiration/Perspiration: Creating a Map of the Music Composition Creative Process” — ROCC 2023
Kyle Vanderburg’s research mapping the music-composition creative process was competitively selected for presentation at the 7th annual Research on Contemporary Composition Conference in 2023.
Overview
Kyle Vanderburg presented “Inspiration/Perspiration: Creating a Map of the Music Composition Creative Process” at the 7th annual Research on Contemporary Composition Conference at the University of North Georgia. Selected through the conference’s competitive submission process, the paper examined the stages and decisions involved in musical composition and proposed a framework for mapping the creative process. The presentation represents an early stage of Vanderburg’s continuing research into compositional creativity and the development of process-based models for composition pedagogy.
Professional Context
This presentation represents national refereed dissemination of Vanderburg’s research in compositional creativity and composition pedagogy. “Inspiration/Perspiration” was selected for programming at the 7th annual Research on Contemporary Composition Conference at the University of North Georgia through a competitive submission process; conference organizers reported that the quantity and quality of submissions required limiting presenters to one accepted paper or performance. The project is also significant within Vanderburg’s longer research trajectory, representing an early effort to systematically model the music-composition creative process that subsequently developed into his broader process-based research in composition pedagogy.
