In this article I will present my artistic research project entitled
`Interactive systems in improvisation and composition' and discuss
certain aspects of the project's development during the course of my
work on it. I will briefly explain the theory that forms the framework
for the research and discuss three selected projects that are all a
part of my PhD studies. I will also touch upon the widely discussed
issue of choosing a method for artistic research. The conclusion drawn
from my experience is that an artistic research project is similar to
the very nature of artistic practice; one needs to follow the paths
opened up by the work. Finally, I comment on the potential validity of
artistic research as a discipline.
