The authors report on their artistic research project TRaNsMOGRiFiER and highlight musician-specific approaches to creating with technology that privilege the sharing of tools and practical knowledge. The use of fictional narratives as a catalyst for instrument building and art making is at the foreground of the discussion. By rethinking DIY/Maker culture with an emphasis on collaboration and collective creativity, the authors highlight the tension between the production of fixed media output and practices that resist encapsulation. TRaNsMOGRiFiER underscores the benefits of hands-on learning and presents a collaborative artistic platform with a focus on open-ended processes and ongoing change.

Abstract The compendium of the Polish-born Ottoman court musician and interpreter ʿAlī Ufuḳī/Albert Bobowski, MS Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Turc 292, is a crucial source of the history of music in the Ottoman Empire and at the same time a highly individual document. On 626 pages it contains notations of the most diverse genres, song texts and many marginal notes relating to various aspects of music. Composed between the 1630 s and 1670 s in Istanbul, it can be understood as a still image of the predominantly oral tradition. This results in special challenges to edition and performance practice. In exchange with three Turkish experts in the fields of performance, musicology and instrument building, the present contribution explores possible interpretations and inspirations for a historically informed performance practice of Ottoman music on the basis of ʿAlī Ufuḳī’s notations.

This article explores musical instruments as a source for the historical study of music theory. The figure of Pythagoras, and his alleged penchant for the monochord, offers a way into this exploration of the theory-bearing dimensions of instruments. Musicians tend to think of instruments primarily in terms of music-making, but in other contexts instruments are, more broadly, tools. In the context of scientific experimentation, specifically, instruments help researchers come to terms with “epistemic things”—objects under scrutiny that carry specific (but as yet unknown) sources of knowledge within them. Aspects of this experimental practice can productively be transferred to the study of music theory and are explored in two test cases from different periods of musical theorizing (and instrument building): Nicola Vicentino’s archicembalo from mid-sixteenth century Italy, and Henry Cowell’s rhythmicon from early twentieth-century America.
