Toward a personal understanding of ‘artistic research’ through musical improvisation, performance, and the production of sound recordings

Paul Draper

About this exposition

This exposition presents a musical project through the lens of recent artistic research literature with a view to building a greater personal understanding of how this rhetoric might operate in practice. It examines the creation of three particular music works by tracing their interrelating lineage of improvisation, performance, composition and record production, and interrogates the dynamically changing characteristics of so-called ‘technical objects’ and ‘epistemic things’ in order to posit a way in which improvisatory skills are built, refined and deployed as a central element of the music-making. This is shown to serve the artistic processes as an evolving vocabulary developed through deliberate actions, systematised problem-solving and historical considerations which lead to intuitive choices and actions in extended ‘flow states’. The exposition concludes with a self-review of its structure and aims for intended audiences.
