Artistic Practice as Research in Music: Theory, Criticism, Practice
brings together internationally renowned scholars and practitioners
to explore the cultural, institutional, theoretical,
methodological, epistemological, ethical and practical aspects and
implications of the rapidly evolving area of artistic research in
music. Through various theoretical positions and case studies, and
by establishing robust connections between theoretical debates and
concrete examples of artistic research projects, the authors
discuss the conditions under which artistic practice becomes a
research activity; how practice-led research is understood in
conservatoire settings; issues of assessment in relation to musical
performance as research; methodological possibilities open to music
practitioners entering academic environments as researchers; the
role of technology in processes of musical composition as research;
the role and value of performerly knowledge in music-analytical
enquiry; issues in relation to live performance as a research
method; artistic collaboration and improvisation as research tools;
interdisciplinary concerns of the artist-researcher; and the
relationship between the affordances of a musical instrument and
artistic research in musical performance. Readers will come away
from the book with fresh insights about the theoretical, critical
and practical work being done by experts in this exciting new field
of enquiry.

What are the historical roots of the rapidly growing branch of
performance studies in contemporary music psychology? During the
nineteenth century, the Swiss music theorist Mathis Lussy proposed
a highly original theory locating the source of expression in
performance within the musical structures rather than solely in the
inspired soul of the performing artist. This book presents a
comprehensive account of Lussy's theories of musical rhythm and
performance based on a survey of long-neglected archival sources
and publications against the backdrop of eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century psychology and aesthetics. Contents: Expressive
performance--Affective response to music--The interdependency of
affect and cognition in musical experiences--Respiration as a model
for music rhythm--Kinesthesis--Musical rhetoric--Mimesis and
formalism in musical aesthetics--Tonal attractions--Accentuation
and expressive timing..
This volume brings together practitioners and theorists of music
and sonic art. Contributions explore a wide range of historical,
artistic, pedagogical and critical issues from multiple
perspectives, emphasizing the continuities and links along a broad
spectrum of hearing and listening practices and art-making that use
sound.
