Abstract	:	This dissertation examines the work of Tom Nunn (b. 1946), a musician who has spent the past thirty-eight years developing new musical instruments designed specifically for playing improvised music. The culmination of his research is the Electroacoustic Percussion Board (EPB), consisting of a soundboard, amplified with contact microphones, to which sound making devices are attached. Electroacoustic Percussion Boards are an entirely new type of musical instrument: free improvisation embodied in sculptural, functional objects. Nunn’s efforts represent an uncommon approach to creating new music: challenging traditional musical hierarchies by building instruments with little or no resemblance to conventional instruments, thus freeing performers from expectations embedded in histories of playing technique.
