WHY PARTICIPATE?

 

[codex] I. offers instrument inventors, designers, and developers a distinctive context connecting making, genealogy, critical reflection, experimentation, and sustained international exchange across disciplines.

 

The residency provides:

– An extended development period rather than a single short-term seminar
– Direct exchange among inventors, designers, makers, developers, performers, and researchers
– A structured progression from genealogical inquiry toward public presentation
– Time for research, design, fabrication, coding, testing, performance, reflection, and revision
– A framework for examining instrumental paradigms as forms of musical knowledge
– A critical context for investigating originality, authenticity, and excellence
– Sustained engagement with source, substance, and structure
– The opportunity to present work at the seventh Bled Contemporary Music Week
– Participation in an international community of instrument makers and artist-researchers
– The possibility of forming lasting artistic, technical, scholarly, and professional relationships

 

The program is intended for participants who seek not only to develop and present instruments, but also to understand how instrumental paradigms emerge through relationships among histories, materials, bodies, gestures, mechanisms, technologies, institutions, criteria, environments, and acts of listening.
