   Author : Stefan Östersjö; Musikhögskolan i Malmö; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Contemporary art music; Collaboration; Musical performance; Methodology; Artistic research; Ontology; Music philosophy; Musical work; Musical interpretation; Performance practice;

   Abstract : 'SHUT UP ’N’ PLAY!
