This paper examines the work of four Australian artistic researchers, two of who collaborate on a single project. All authors have worked closely together for over a decade and therefore this piece broadly responds to the EPARM conference themes as completed and/or well-advanced projects that impact on one's own musical practice, the work of other researchers (and lay-audiences). At the micro level, each author focuses on a standalone project via a short video in order to provide depth of artistic insight and as a mechanism to triangulate informed thinking about our institution's artistic research activity to date.
