Cahiers of Artistic Research 1

Cahiers of artistic research respond to the responsibility and the need to offer – first and foremost to our students, but also to the broad academic community – consistent guidance to assist the conception, design and development of artistic research projects. The aim of this series of Cahiers is, thus, to establish an alternative path for Artistic Research.

The first Cahier of the series – When is research Artistic Research? – begins by referring to the current context of Higher Music Education and to the need for full and clear explanations of how research can be involved with musical practice. Failed attempts at Artistic Research are also discussed and confronted with what the authors believe to be founding principles, the foundations for Artistic Research.
