The text document included in this digital portfolio dissertation explains, analyzes, and discusses the design and implementation of data-driven instruments, the musical challenges and opportunities provided by data-driven instruments, the performance techniques employed,the sound synthesis techniques used, and the data-mapping strategies used for each of the seven compositions. Each of the seven compositions is based on sonic motives. The analysis of thecompositionsin this dissertation explain how the sonic motivesare introduced, modified, and developed throughout the compositions using data-driven instruments.
