Abstract
This is presentation is of my emergent HDR study journey across the Project 1 Pilot study, and the observations I have made to date.
The original aim of this professional Doctor of Creative Industries (DCI) Research Project was to investigate music–making practice and Self as a practitioner in the process of creating and producing a DIY music artifact. Specifically: to investigate why I as the practitioner felt a connection with one form of music-making (acoustic instrument-based), and not a connection with another form of music-making (digital virtual-based).
I situated Self into this autoethnographic study in the dual roles of researcher and practitioner; developing first-person narratives of my personal journey, critical reflection and reflexive practice. The holistic and multi-dimensional nature of this research has provided rich and nuanced data, illuminating the co-constituted nature of Self, interpreting meaning, and practice. In particular, the research study contextualises contemporary DIY creative practice relative to three interdependent tenets: music & sound-making practice, meaning-making and Self-making, where these tenets are understood in terms of hybridity, agency and subjectivity.
