Research

As a creative practitioner, Lee has a particular interest in the relationship between structural timbre and expression in cross-arts disciplinary contexts. His current research focuses on a conceptual model for (musical) creativity that draws on aspects of analogical reasoning, quantum science and psychoacoustics; this model involves applications to poetic narratives for music and musical collaboration. Lee is also interested in the role of small adjustments in the body and how these may affect aspects of music performance technique, structural timbre and narrative. This interest drives his passionate advocation of qi-relevant principles to aspects of music pedagogy.

A Spinfoam Model of Musical Creativity and its Implications for Collaborative Practice

Some examples of relevant collaborative work that are associated with these areas:
1) _Innovating the Cusp: Poetic Narratives for Musical Timbre in Fluid Compositional and Performance Processes_
Practice-as-Research projects in collaboration with Canadian pianist and composer David Braid and composer Philippe Côté.
2) _New Resonances: Sounds and Stories for Zeng Heritage_
Musically-relevant Zeng studies considered from a second generation immigrant perspective.

Body Adjustments for Musical Performance Technique, Timbre and Narrative

Some relevant areas include:
1) On qi in musical performance, including directionality through acupressure points and its potential for timbre control and articulation of narrative.
2) The role of the eyes for the reader-listener when constructing musico-poetic narratives in intermedia album contexts.
