Abstract
This dissertation’s studies of musicians Les Paul, Marc Feld, and Jans Wagner shed light on, not only what it means to compose sonically, but the parallels between sonic composition and traditional notions of literacy held within the field of Rhetoric and Composition. Though Paul, Feld, and Wagner do not possess literacy practices in terms of aspects of literacy mediated by text, they do possess literacy practices that are enacted by their own embodied sensory experience and perceptions, as well as their outside musical community’s influence on their composing. Furthermore, this dissertation discusses what it means to compose with the mode of sound and complicates the product/ process binary through its discovery of the above musicians’ use of what I call “mode process”. Meaning, that the process of composition uses multiple modes to create a monomodal product. The findings from my studies of Wagner, Paul, and Feld provide further avenues of exploration for what it means to compose in the 21st century in relation to the college composition classroom.
