Experience Music Experiment

Challenging perspectives on artistic research in andthrough experimental discourse'Truth happens to an idea.' So wrote William James in1907; and twenty-four years later John Dewey argued that artistic experienceentailed a process of 'doing and undergoing.' But what do these ideas have todo with music, or with research conducted in and through music-that is, with'artistic research'? In this collection of essays, fourteen very differentauthors respond with distinct and challenging perspectives. Some report ontheir own experiments and experiences; some offerprobing analyses of noteworthy practices; some view historical continuitiesthrough the lens of pragmatism and artistic experiment. The resultingcollection yields new insights into what musicians do, how they experiment, andwhat they experience-insights that arise not from doctrine, but from diversevoices seeking common ground in and through experimental discourse: artisticresearch in and of itself.Contributors:William Brooks (Orpheus Institute), Richard Shusterman (Florida AtlanticUniversity), Winnie Huang (Orpheus Institute/University of Antwerp/RoyalConservatoire Antwerp), Marco Fusi (Orpheus Institute/University ofAntwerp/Royal Conservatoire Antwerp), Victoria Tzotzkova (MassachusettsInstitute of Technology) and Fiona Smyth (Trinity College Dublin), Clare Lesser(New York University Abu Dhabi), Caitlin Rowley (Bath Spa University), NicholasBrown (Trinity College Dublin), Ivana MiladinoviA Prica (University of Arts inBelgrade), Thibault Galland (Universit Libre de Bruxelles), Garry L.
