Quantum Music - 5. Objects: Object Distributions (2012), for solo double bass

Quantum Music - Towards a unified aesthetic, 2019

Objects: Objects Distributions was written between 2010 and 2012 for the double bassist and composer Ashley-John Long and is the first of my works to use the 'Objects' prefix. The work's constructive principles are similar to those employed in Probability Interpretation, Two-Slit Experiments and Entanglement, the difference being that from this work onwards there is a greater focus on how the systems used for the quantisation of micro-objects (for example, the vertical displacements of trichords and tetrachords within a bar) can be applied to systems governing the formation of macro-objects (the global ordering of t-sigs or sections, for example).

Quantum Music - 16. Objects 7

Quantum Music - Towards a unified aesthetic, 2019

As will be shown, Objects 7 applies similar methods of point gesture superimposition and distribution as those found in Objects 5 and 6 but on a much larger scale. With the highly reduced and sparse aesthetic approach found in the most recent works from Objects 3.1 onwards and most acutely in Objects 5 and 6, when applied in this work the resulting sonic outcomes exhibit a high degree of invariance across the totality of the work, however when one looks more closely one will see a high degree of internal variance in the content for each of the ensembles present within a given section or bar in the score.

Quantum Music - 3. Three proto quantum works

Quantum Music - Towards a unified aesthetic, 2019

Being the first pieces written, the three 'proto-quantum' works are the initial attempts at a quantum aesthetic. One of the main focal points for each of the works was to set about devising egalitarian constructive devices across all mediated parameters.

Preference Intensities and Risk Aversion in School Choice: A Laboratory Experiment

2010

We experimentally investigate in the laboratory two prominent mechanisms that are employed in school choice programs to assign students to public schools. We study how individual behavior is influenced by preference intensities and risk aversion. Our main results show that (a) the Gale-Shapley mechanism is more robust to changes in cardinal preferences than the Boston mechanism independently of whether individuals
