The birth of a new composition culminates an extended period of constant self-struggle and decision-making in the creative process. Not only does one need to have the ability to organize musical ideas convincingly, very often one must also have considerable knowledge on other fields of study. Over the centuries, music has survived as a subject that relies heavily upon its interactions with other disciplines. Whether it is cultural studies, language, literature, mathematics, or religion, for example, it is almost impossible to conduct musical research without also investigating the impact of these disciplines on composers, and on the latter’s creative output. From the Gregorian chants of the eighth and ninth centuries, to the multimedia productions of the twenty-first century, composers are more aware now than ever of the value of interdisciplinary collaborations, particularly in creating a work of art that can facilitate broader appreciation and understanding.Through a presentation on my compositional processes of “Macromusophagy” and “Silent Blooms,” I will discuss how artists and scientists can unite to create something that will not only inspire the work of each other, but will enhance the pedagogical approaches of the respective fields as well. My goal is not to offer a one-size-fits-all strategy; rather, I hope to provide insights that will serve as a springboard of ideas for our own academic endeavors.
