A notebook and wiki built out of a long-term art practice.
Nothing here is finished. Each section’s front page says what belongs in it and how something gets added.
00 Starting Point
The practice this research came out of, and which parts of it the thesis actually takes.
01 Research Question
The current question, three subquestions, and the scope.
How do rule-based structures of interdependence shape coordination and collective musical agency in co-located collective music-making?
02 Related Works
Other people’s works read as works — what each one occupies, and where mine has to differ.
Twenty-three, tagged by which conversation made them.
03 Reading
Everything taken from somebody else’s writing.
Papers — one per paper, tagged by contribution ·
Concepts — twenty-four, filed by source ·
Methods — five procedures, none yet run
04 Fieldwork
Going to look, rather than reading what somebody concluded. Interviews with makers, notes from rooms. Where the playtests will go.
05 Making
My own work — both the object of study and where the research gets tested. Projects, fragments, and the prototype.
06 Thesis
Where everything has to fit together into one object.
07 Log
Every change of direction, logged with the reason it changed.
