  It's sonic bath dayyyy! From free improvisation to deep listening: a recorder player in search of the powers of sound (2025) author(s): Marguerite Maire Limited publication. Only visible to members of the portal : KC Research Portal
  Free improvisation came to me little by little but always surely. One day, it became a starting point to access musicianship skills that I wouldn't have been able to access through any other "entry point".  As an early music musician, experimental practices were very new to me. The topic was not much discussed in my surroundings and the search was on me.   Never before in my life as a musician have I been invited to listen so much, as when I started practicing free improvisation: to the stories of others, to the people I was playing with, to the sounds of the world. I discovered listening as a source of inspiration, but also as a way to navigate my environment, and most of all, to care for each other.   Then came the wish to share these feelings. There, I decided to create a workshop, where the participants could become aware and explore their sonic environment.  This research documents the process of exploring tools to create a music workshop, diving into the ocean of free improvisation, to end up in the sea of deep listening. This experience changed me forever, as a musician but also as a human being.

• IN BACH'S FOOTSTEPS: Transcribing Vivaldi for the harpsichord (2025) author(s): Pablo García Valles Limited publication. Only visible to members of the portal : KC Research Portal
  After reviewing the work of the main composers who contributed to the field of harpsichord transcription, one figure stands out above the rest: J. S. Bach. While this may not be an unexpected conclusion, what is truly remarkable is the diverse and imaginative set of techniques Bach employed to transform Vivaldi’s music into new keyboard works. His transcriptions go far beyond a mere transfer of notes from the orchestral score to the keyboard; rather, he enriches the original material to such an extent that the result becomes an independent keyboard composition, making one forget that it is a transcription at all. After analysing and compiling the key mechanisms underlying his approach, this study presents a personal transcription of Vivaldi’s Concerto RV 443, following principles similar to those used by Bach.
