From the Known to the Unknown: Possible Worlds for Artistic Experimentation in Music

For the second year in a row ORCiM’s current three-year theme of Artistic Experimentation is at the heart of the Research Festival. The Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] has been working on Artistic Experimentation in Music as a catalyst for the generation of new understanding in Artistic Research across the disciplines. Processes of artistic experimentation in musical practice may provide a new way of illuminating the gap between artistic experience and its possible elucidation as new knowledge. This demonstrates a potential toward ‘configuring the unknown’, whether through the generation of novel concepts, the development of atypical performances or the creation of new technologies.
