Creative symbiosis is embodied in the artistic relationship between composers and performers regardless of the degree of collaboration. Since obligate symbiosis may refer to the whole community of composers and performers contributing to the existence of a musical composition fulfilling its life-cycle from the conception through to the performance, facultative symbiosis may exemplify those artists who willingly choose to connect and engage in a collaborative process. This research unfolds an informative examination of such facultative relationships where collaboration has been used as a persuasive tool for creativity. To unveil and understand the experience of usually hidden artistic processes (both creative and re-creative), an intervention of conceptual and cognitive tools has been applied. Effectively, each collaboration concludes in producing a physical evidence of a score and a recording; however, these elements only derive the outcome and do not determine the processes. The elaboration in a form of exegesis (Volume 2) containing the author’s retrospective view, working schedules, communication extracts and subjective commentary assists in further understanding of such interactions. It has been shown that central elements for examination of symbiotic relationship such as work-in-progress, a composer’s intentions and a performer’s expectations can affect the process of crystallisation of scores and performances. Furthermore, the roles of composer and performer have been factored to identify the exclusive creative aspects which also highlighted the common features and the ability to transit both contexts by a single individual. The methods employed in this research remain within those of qualitative inquiry including autoethnographical reflexive approach and action research. Those methods supported by partial analysis of scores and recordings, commentaries and interview transcripts assist in revealing of symbiotic circles, including the impact favourable environment and the importance of communication on multiple levels. A condensation of aspects, procedures and actions offers a systematic approach to self-observation which is transferable onto other collaborative cases.
