ODC 2025 Music and Time: Conservation and innovation through AR

Eventvan 10 april 2025 tot 11 april 2025

Orpheus Doctoral Conference

The Orpheus Doctoral Conference (ODC) is a yearly event organised by docARTES PhD students. The perception of music as a fixed, essentialized object has long shaped Western classical music pedagogy, musicology, and performance practice research. In recent decades, influences from the social sciences have expanded music research, challenging the subject-object dualism. As an emerging discipline, artistic research has embraced this shift, redefining musical practice as an active research process through the lens of critical theory.

Introduction

The focus of music research on conservation relies on a particular view of music as an essentialised object, being safeguarded against the ravages of linear time. Western music pedagogy is still dominated by institutions that view it as their mandate to conserve the canon of Western classical music. Historical musicology and performance practice research are often likened to processes in art conservation. More broadly, there is a sense that music research has been slower than other disciplines to embrace progressive analytical approaches rooted in critical theory.

However, over the last few decades, incursions from the fields of anthropology and the social sciences have opened up new fields of inquiry within music research, breaking down the subject-object dualism to engage meaningfully with, through, and in music. Artistic research (AR) offers a unique response to this challenge by repositioning musical practice not merely as an object, but as a research process in and of itself.
