The conceptual innovations of Experimental Music and Sound Art since the middle of the 20th century are at the center of the research project at hand. Their radical demand to explore new material and media questions the traditional strategies of European art music. Together with modified concepts regarding performance setting, space and compositional materials, questions concerning the role of technical media in music production and perception become prominent. In the course of this evolution, everyday life and public space became places for artistic concepts and aesthetic experience. Today the avant-garde, often criticized as elitist, is exploring elementary and often very sensual phenomena. As a consequence, the concept of artwork loses its importance. Central points of focus are now phenomena of hearing which demand a concept of aesthetic experience. The research project responds to these developments and aims to analyze them utilizing a new theoretical perspective. For that we intend to establish a Musical Aesthetics of the Real. The starting point traces back to Lacans description of the psychological system by means of the Real, the Symbolic, and the Imaginary. Whereas in the arts symbolization and imagination stand for the position of production aesthetics, the Real that according to Lacan eludes symbolization as well as imagination refers to aesthetic experience. According to the theory, the various currents in the arts are distinguished by the Real, with which they set out to come to terms and which is discussed in aesthetic theory as the unutterable which cannot be said, or as the unrepresentable.In this project the musical concepts we aim to analyze expose the perspective of hearing. First, in this perspective, sound is the other which defies distinct identification and can be interpreted as a Real in music: a complex inter-modal phenomenon with acoustic as well as visual and haptic qualities which exceed the hearing perspective. Furthermore, the actual revaluation of space changes the performance situation and the reception process. Lastly, media-reflexive strategies take on a crucial role within the framework of an artistic survey of the Real, because they account for the audible as well as the inaudible as discursive disciplinings in media-technological dispositions. We intend to develop this new approach to listening in experimental music and sound art with reference to the aesthetics of the Real and the Event and map out the relations of Lacans concept to American pragmatism and German idealism.With these investigations we aim to break ground for better understanding of contemporary music and sound art. For this reason, our research project is interdisciplinarily conceived and reflects the viewpoints of musicology, media and performance studies as well as philosophy. The study is subdivided into the following topics: Musical Construction of the Real, Musical Media Reflexivity (Media Music), and Aesthetics of the Sonic Real.

20世纪中叶以来实验音乐和声音艺术的概念创新是当前研究项目的核心。他们对探索新材料和媒体的激进要求对欧洲艺术音乐的传统策略提出了质疑。随着有关表演设置、空间和作曲材料的概念的修改，有关技术媒体在音乐制作和感知中的作用的问题变得突出。在这个演变过程中，日常生活和公共空间成为艺术观念和审美体验的场所。如今，常被批评为精英主义的前卫艺术正在探索基本且往往非常感性的现象。结果，艺术品的概念就失去了重要性。现在的焦点是听觉现象，这需要审美体验的概念。该研究项目响应了这些发展，旨在利用新的理论视角对其进行分析。为此，我们打算建立一种真实的音乐美学。起点可以追溯到拉康通过真实、象征和想象对心理系统的描述。在艺术中​​，象征和想象代表着生产美学的地位，而在拉康看来，逃避象征和想象的真实则指的是审美体验。根据该理论，艺术中的各种潮流以真实为特征，它们开始与真实达成一致，并在美学理论中将其讨论为无法言说的不可言喻的事物，或不可再现的事物。我们旨在分析的音乐概念揭示了听觉的视角。首先，从这个角度来看，声音是另一个无法明确识别的事物，可以被解释为音乐中的真实：一种复杂的模态间现象，其声学、视觉和触觉品质超出了听觉视角。此外，空间的实际重估改变了表演情况和接待过程。最后，媒体反思策略在真实艺术调查的框架内发挥着至关重要的作用，因为它们解释了媒体技术配置中可听和不可听的话语规则。我们打算参考现实和事件的美学，开发这种新的实验音乐和声音艺术聆听方法，并绘制出拉康概念与美国实用主义和德国唯心主义的关系。通过这些研究，我们的目标是为更好地理解当代音乐和声音艺术。因此，我们的研究项目是跨学科的，反映了音乐学、媒体和表演研究以及哲学的观点。该研究分为以下主题：真实的音乐构建、音乐媒体反身性（媒体音乐）和声音真实的美学。
