Radically Embodied Performance as Musical Structure

Project description

Redefining performer creativity within Western Art Music

Recent compositional practices reveal a transformation of musical material through performance, where the actions that produce sound become integral layers of the music, challenging the traditional role of the performer as a creative agent. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the REPaMS project aims to explore performers’ creativity in complex and experimental guitar music within Western Art Music, redefining the performer’s role as an embodied creator of musical structures. By bridging analytical and embodied perspectives, the project seeks to influence both artistic and research practices. Additionally, it aims to enhance participants’ skills and employment prospects by providing new training opportunities for academic and artist-researcher roles.

Objective

Radically Embodied Performance as Musical Structure (REPaMS) is an Artistic Research project that seeks to describe, analyse and explore performer's creativity in particular relation to complex and experimental guitar music and performing practices within Western Art Music. This project is centrally advocated on recent compositional practices evidencing a performative transformation of musical material, in which sound-producing actions are immanent layers of the music as if the composer is bypassing the performer as a person and scoring directly for her body challenging the performer's role as a creative agent. Based on the premise that performers do not reproduce but create musical structures, REPaMS rethinks performer's creativity as the radically embodied creation of musical structures. The action is structured around three main case-studies as seen through three different epistemological/ methodological lens. By examining recent notational/performing practices as both products and processes, REPaMS pursues an artistic research methodology in which the interaction between notations, artistic practices and further non-musical elements emerging as process, satisfying standards of rigor, replicability and transmissibility, while still remaining flexible to the emerging possibilities and constraints that these notations imply. REPaMS will contribute to build analogical bridges between analytical and embodied perspectives, exerting an impact upon artistic and research practices, formats of presentation for artistic research outputs and performance pedagogy. The action will enhance the ERs skills and future employability prospects, opening new training opportunities both as an academic and an artist-researcher, furthering his ability to plan, organise, develop his dissemination and public outreach competencies, and reinforcing his professional networks.
