Abstract
Mobile music tools are one of the most significant advances in contemporary music production technologies. Innovative and portable instruments allow us to leverage the latest technological developments and enhance mobile audio storytelling. In this chapter, I outline the model of setting-based music creation with the use of handheld mobile equipment. This is a model of performative music making where several elements of the creative process are executed in real time. Based on my own creative work, as well as participation in multiple communities of practice and collaborative work with other mobile musicians, I have identified six elements of setting-based music storytelling. I provide analysis of these elements and discuss them in the context of creating mobile music. I highlight various ways in which mobile tools impact on the practices of contemporary music producers and I argue that performative methods provide a unique possibility for implementing production techniques in musical pieces that communicate local settings.
