_Jonathan Impett
_In this talk, Jonathan Impett will present the role of artistic research in current music culture, practice and education, for music of all kinds. He will address the fundamental question of the nature of knowledge in the context of artistic research. Discussion of modes of knowledge production and their relationship with artistic action and reception highlights their essentially creative character.
As a case study, Impett will present research on the technicity of music, and on the need to find critical and technical models and metaphors for shaping and discussing music that are resonant with our contemporary cultural and technological context. This is embodied in the project Three States of Wax which will feature in the evening concert.
