Abstract

Art research within the field of music performance produces three types of results: art products, discussions on these products and the physical and artistic processes to create these performances. The type of knowledge generated moves between: propositional, verbalized and knowledge similar to any academic investigation; processual knowledge founded on actions based on the artistic process and tacit, sensitive and analogical knowledge that resists representation by logical operators. This knowledge is produced from various objects of study including: performance practices, creative processes, professional practices and personal practices. Within these worlds, distinct epistemic tensions arise on the nature of the knowledge produced and the possibility of its being reported. For this reason, it is necessary to describe in more detail the elements that form conceptual thinking and the communication strategies within this mode of research.
