ORCiM Series

2009-2011

This series of four books explicitly "zooms in" on studies that take artistic practice as their point of departure and deals with questions and challenges that arise from that practice. With this publication series, the Orpheus Institute helped develop a discipline-specific discourse in the field of artistic research in music, which at the same time acted as a springboard for future research in this young but fascinating area.
