Abstract

Music is widely assumed to be an experience for a singular, typical hearing type. This dissertation challenges this assumption and comprises rationales and artistic frameworks behind the author’s four multimedia works: audiovisual composition “The (Real) Laptop Music :)),” dance film “Tangguh,” no-audio video “[SOUNDSCAPTION: Soundwalk],” and audiovisual composition “Aural Architecture.” These works focus on four major themes, respectively: (1) fostering universal design principles, (2) reflecting on inclusive design principles, (3) making access performative, and (4) bridging the seemingly contrasting poles between the Deaf and hearing worlds. This dissertation is concluded with evaluations and suggestions for improving future works. In contemplating the application of aural diversity in the author’s artistic practice, this research is intended to foster a more inclusive musical and listening culture and center humanity’s diversity in sonic arts cultures and scholarship.
