From the Known to the Unknown: Possible Worlds for Artistic Experimentation in Music
ORCiM Research Festival 2012

Wednesday 3rd October (starting at 12:00) to Friday 5th October (ending at 16:00)

Orpheus Institute. Korte Meer 12, 9000, Ghent, Belgium.

A showcase festival of research, music and ideas

For the second year in a row ORCiM’s current three-year theme of Artistic Experimentation is at the heart of the Research Festival. The Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] has been working on Artistic Experimentation in Music as a catalyst for the generation of new understanding in Artistic Research across the disciplines. Processes of artistic experimentation in musical practice may provide a new way of illuminating the gap between artistic experience and its possible elucidation as new knowledge. This demonstrates a potential toward ‘configuring the unknown’, whether through the generation of novel concepts, the development of atypical performances or the creation of new technologies.

This year’s Research Festival will be focused on testing this core assertion, both as it applies to the sphere of music, and beyond.
