Challenging perspectives on artistic research in and
through experimental discourse
“Truth happens to an idea.” So wrote William James in
1907; and twenty-four years later John Dewey argued that artistic experience
entailed a process of “doing and undergoing.” But what do these ideas have to
do with music, or with research conducted in and through music—that is, with
“artistic research”? In this collection of essays, fourteen very different
authors respond with distinct and challenging perspectives. Some report on
their own experiments and experiences; some offer
probing analyses of noteworthy practices; some view historical continuities
through the lens of pragmatism and artistic experiment. The resulting
collection yields new insights into what musicians do, how they experiment, and
what they experience—insights that arise not from doctrine, but from diverse
voices seeking common ground in and through experimental discourse: artistic
research in and of itself.
