PUBLICATION SERIES
The new SUBSERIES of the Collected Writings of the ORPHEUS INSTITUTE came in to being to present the research produced and promoted by the ORPHEUS RESEARCH CENTRE in MUSIC [ORCiM]. The subseries explicitly ‘zoom in’ on studies that take ARTISTIC PRACTICE as their point of departure and deal with questions and challenges that arise from that practice.
AVAILABLE publications since 2009:
1. THE ARTISTIC TURN: A MANIFESTO (Kathleen Coessens, Darla Crispin, Anne Douglas)
charts a constellation of ideas for a new paradigm - a ‘turn’ - that outlines the burgeoning discipline of artistic research and points to its manifold and open - ended possibilities through its re-emphasis of the centrality of the artist.
* 192pp, ISBN 9789490389000 €29,50 / $ 39,50

2. metaCAGE: Essays on and around Freeman Etudes, Fontana Mix, Aria (Magnus Andersson, William Brooks, Mieko Kanno, Juan Parra Cancino)
investigates the musical practice of John Cage in four essays written by current ORCiM Fellows. Three works (Fontana Mix, Aria, and Freeman Etudes) serve as threads that link the contributions, and a CD containing performances of these works, by the Fellows, is included with the volume. The essays embrace both compositional practice, as viewed by musicologically - oriented performers Juan Parra Cancino and Mieko Kanno, and Cage's aesthetic framework, explored by practice-based musicologists Magnus Andersson and William Brooks.
* 104pp, ISBN 9789490389017 €22 / $ 32, 5 (+cd)

3. DYNAMICS OF CONSTRAINTS Essays on Notation, Editing and Performance (Mieko Kanno, Paulo de Assis, Juan Parra Cancino)
expresses some fundamental issues addressed by ORCiM’s research group ‘the musician’s relation to notation’. Paulo de Assis argues that critical editions should generate critical users, advocating for a new kind of editor and performer; Mieko Kanno’s contribution reflects the rapid expansion of the use of electronics in contemporary music, while Juan Parra Cancino points towards a kind of composition, in which neither performers nor listeners seek to define the 'final' version of the piece.
* 48pp, ISBN 9789490389024 €15 / $22,50

FORTHCOMING : THE PRACTICE OF PRACTISING
(Alessandro Cervino, Catherine Laws, Maria Lettberg, Tania Lisboa)
The Practice of Practising focuses on the specific knowledge gained through the experience of musical practising and rehearsing. The authors explore the relationship between embodied and conceptual understanding: to what extent, and how, is insight gained and transformed through doing?
