UNI DISSERTATION IDEA.../Please help... :(

Hello all,

I'm a 3rd year student studying music technology at uni, i write music, mainly dubstep at the moment.

I am having a great deal of trouble coming up with a title for my uni dissertation, and was thought it was worth a shot seeing if anyone on here has any ideas..or can give me a hand!

Basically i need to explore and try and prove something., i can do it by writing compositions and then accompany it with an essay. It has to be mainly a practical project, hence the compositions

The problem that I'm having is that i don't know what i could "explore or try to prove" in order to be able to write some electronic compositions, be it exploring something to do with dubstep or just electronica is general

What could i explore within a few compositions? I know there must be so much, but i just can't get my head around it. I know that as soon as i have my title written down, i will be able to crack on with it and do a good job of it, I'm just stuck for getting started..

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
I'm finding it pretty hard,
Thanks you lot!
Helen x

check out some of the papers this guy has written... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Smalley

could be quite interesting linking his work on "Spectro-morphology and Structuring Processes" to dubstep....

though could just go for "How low can bass actually go?" as the title, and just hand in a load of ridiculous sub...
