MetamusicX explores novel performative and compositional creative practices that intersect music (past and future), art, digital humanities, and contemporary philosophy. This research cluster focuses on three primary research areas:
Experimental Performance Practices
Deconstructing musical works to transcend traditional concepts of ‘interpretation’.
Projects:
- MusicExperiment21 (2013-2018)
- RaschX (2018-2020)
- Diabelli Machines8 (2018)
- NietzscheN
- Powers of Divergence (2018)
- MusicExperimentX (2018-2020)
Hypermusic, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain
Investigating future modes of artistic creation at the intersection of music, digital art, AI, and complex notational systems.
Projects:
Assemblage Theory for Music
In its combination of practice-based research and conceptual investigations, MetamusicX reevaluates the role, function, and purposes of musicians in contemporary society, arguing for a new breed of musicians — ones who are not only skilled in their craft but are also capable of operating at the intriguing boundaries of human and posthuman creativity.
