Description
An account of the resource
The presentation brings together reflections on the continuum of Performance, Practice and the Academy that aims to address the wider interdisciplinary intentions of Iannis Xenakis. We reflect on the musical and spatial design synergies generated through design research within the three modalities of Performance, Practice and the Academy. ‘Design research’ as ‘researching through design (Downton 2003)’ provides a platform for creative practitioners to generate knowledge through their practice. The author will focus on a selection of his activities over twenty-five years as a musician (Performance), architect (Practice) and researcher (the Academy) seeking to cross-reference and find synergies between domains
PERFORMANCE: The ImprovScope Project
Whilst there has been intense examination of the continuum of music and architecture in relation to the outcome of musico-spatial design processes in the work of architects such as Xenakis , this creative research focuses away from the ‘product’ towards the actual creative process.
This research operates within the modality of ‘research through design (Downton 2003)’ at RMIT University Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory Sound Studios. The ‘ImprovScope’ project involves first-person explorations of the author’s improvisations on the electronic drum kit. This scoping out of the authors’ solo improvisational capacities will serve as the basis for musical compositions and creative works (See https://soundcloud.com/jjham/tripscapes) and is founded on improvisation as a vehicle through which to generate massive amounts of musical output. Improvisations are recorded in MIDI across three contexts: Beat and Fill; Drum Solo and Studio Beats, template at 100 BPM for 100 beats.
The project discusses the application of a spatial design parametric framework that offers affordance (Gibson 1979) to mediating a theoretical ‘musico-perspectival hinge (from Pérez-Gómez and Pelletier (1997)). The presentation contends that musicians who may be limited in their understanding of their music because of an inability to read, and in particular those who may be dominant in the visual-spatial thinking insights into the attributes that constitute their style. Through plan, section, elevation, axonometric projections and, ultimately, through 3D printing, drum based music is examined.
PRACTICE
This element of the presentation discusses the application of the ‘Y Condition (Martin 1994)’ within the design of the author’s own house at Bells Beach, Australia. Concepts of music, including Golden Section geometry, overlays of beat structures in window fenestration and metaphorical references to searing guitar solo’s are embodied within this built work. This element of the paper will discuss how musical concepts must, in the real world, be reconciled against pragmatic, regulatory and construction issues.
THE ACADEMY
The author reflects on a 16-year architectural design academic career and his current role in exploring musico-spatial design connections through design research. The Music Room project is discussed, wherein second year architectural design students were required to compose a ‘musique concrete’ piece, design a ‘Music Room’ space to listen to this, and construct a selection of these at 1;1. This project was run over a period of five years, resulting in around fifty projects being constructed.

Description
An account of the resource
There is a superficial, and yet fundamental paradox at the core of Xenakis' work: whilst being the creator of atomised sound (granular synthesis) he was also preoccupied with sound's continuity; or later on his career, while he openly promoted the techniques offered by digital synthesis (i.e. UPIC) he was critical of harmonic analysis and the synthesis derived from Fourier Transforms.
At a first glance, these positions may appear incompatible and incommensurable, but considering Xenakis' full awareness of the implicit problems in the aforementioned domains, this presentation would like to argue for possible ways that this fissure is in fact justifiable, by alluding to topological operations that reconcile the analog and the digital.
More specifically, the argument will mainly be exemplified in a transdisciplinary way by presenting personal work, in which rendered images taken from a parametrically designed piece of marble (designed by Arch-T) were used to as a compositional tool. The operations to and from the rendered images to the raw sound can be loosely defined mathematically as topological homeomorphisms.

Description
An account of the resource
In his book «Revealing Architectural Design: Methods, Frameworks and Tools”, Philip Plowright explains that every knowledge coming from an external discipline needs to be translated in order to be used as a designs principle in other discipline. This translation of knowledge process is called domain-to-domain transfer or inference transfer. Them, as it is known, architectural and musical composition are based on an internal syntax that incorporates its own knowledge, but they also infer external knowledge. So, in order to use external knowledge in architectural or in music syntaxes, it is necessary to translate these informations through an operation of domain-to-domain transfer. This is true not only for architecture and music, but for all disciplines.
Technically, in the inference transfer process, some selected content is brought forward from a source domain, mediated through a transfer frame, and then implied in the target domain. The validity, quality, and significance of the content in the target are dependent on the relevance of the relationship between itself and the content from the source. This activity can be frequently called an analogy, a metaphor, a homology, or a simile.
The primarily tool for thinking around an object, situation or application by the point of view of its potentially transfer principles is called first principles reduction. It is at the core of how information is moved between domains. The act of reduction begins to abstract an object or situation away from a particular disciplinary application to a more general statement. Once a general understanding of principles has been achieved, it is relatively easy to move those general principles across disciplines. The generic, generalized factors that are the result of a first principles reduction are not coded in any disciplinary language. They can be associated with a new domain and then expanded back to a particular application by applying deep discipline syntax.
As attested by Plowright, structure-mapping is a more intricate form of transfer through first principles reduction. In structure-mapping, the interest is in identifying strong relations between objects in a specific source domain in order to enrich the content of a target domain (architecture, music). A selected aspect of the source domain – which is a context, an event, or a situation – is ‘exploded’ into its component parts. This will include objects of the source domain, the attributes of those objects, and the relations between those objects. As explained by the author, the source frame holds content in its particular syntax, the transfer frame moves that content into general principles, and the target frame translates the general principles back to particular syntax but in a different domain of knowledge.
This paper proposes an analysis of the Xenakis compositional process through the inference-transfer methodology. In this aim we propose to analyze some works in which the composer has explicitly applied the transdisciplinarity between the musical and architectural domains in order to clarifies his process of thinking.
