"The Folded Map" is my doctoral research project at the DocArtes programme at the Orpheus Instituut in Ghent, and within the research cluster "Resounding Libraries" led by Dr. Bruno Forment. It explores polyphonic music as a way of thinking about the world. By tracing connections between musical notation, visual perspective, and early scientific models of reality, it investigates how different systems of representation shape what can be known, imagined, and shared. Working across historical repertoires and contemporary artistic practice, the project treats notation not simply as a record of music but as an active site of interpretation, negotiation, and invention. Through research, composition, and performance, it reopens questions about authorship, agency, and the nature of musical works themselves.
