- CNMAT's research is oriented towards the creation of new music. This includes its composition and performance as well as improvisation and related collaborative practices. CNMAT's notion of composition includes the writing of scores for concert music, the design of musical instruments, and the conception of the performance situation. Musical design is in the forefront of our research agenda and this design discipline rests on the bedrock of how we experience and understand music. It is in this regard that research in music perception and cognition plays its role in the workings of musical material.
