WHY PARTICIPATE?

 

[conspicuum.infra .x] I. offers a rare context for developing percussion performance as musical knowledge through practice-led exchange.

 

The residency provides:

– An extended research period beyond any single short-term seminar format

– Sustained exchange among percussionists, ensembles, and mentors

– A structured progression from artistic articulation to public presentation

– Time for listening, testing, analysis, reflection, documentation, and revision

– A framework through which embodied knowledge informs sustained artistic development

– A context in which rehearsal functions as rigorous creative inquiry

– Sustained engagement with the conceptual framework

– The opportunity to present work at the seventh Bled Contemporary Music Week

– Participation in an international community of percussion artist-researchers

– The possibility of establishing lasting artistic and professional relationships

 

The program is intended for artists seeking not only to prepare and present repertoire, but to examine how performance emerges through relations among histories, notations, memories, bodies, instruments, objects, technologies, institutions, spaces, collaborative practices, and situated acts of listening.
