Abstract
Abstract:
Meanwhile, Polish-Australian composer Bruce Crossman emphasises the permeability of different cultural worlds and describes his attempts as a composer to achieve “hybrids of being”, particularly with reference to his encounters with Korean aesthetics.
Other papers touch upon the ways in which music is both potentially a deliberate expression and an involuntary reflection of the creator’s hybrid identity (Lin, Crossman, Liu and Caitano). Indeed, while the geopolitical and social changes that have occurred since the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 have (albeit inconclusively) tested the validity of “identity” as a political concept, these chapters yet demonstrate forcibly that, for artists at least, identity serves as a meaningful summation of the manifold influences of cultural and historical memory acting upon them as they both create and reflect upon what they created.
