The intention is to create a lexicon of musical conducting gestures that embody the physical movements, symbolism, and form that exist within a Te Ao Maori context, with the Afro/Eurological improvised music methodology of Conduction.
This project is a development of the Conduction method that I have been recording, performing, and practising over the past 10 years. The research will focus on what makes the combination of Te Ao Maori and Conduction a unique contribution ft, the improvised music canon. It will also look at how this is unique to both the indigenous and western musical worldview.
The aim for this project is to establish a thorough resource to build upon -for experienced musical practitioners, non-experienced, and rangatahi. I intend for this work to be a contribution to Te Ao Maori/Te Ao Marama, with the hope that it becomes useful resource for any musician or performer.
