Transvariations is an EEA Grants funded research project, coordinated by INET-md researcher Alfonso Benetti addressing innovative technological approaches to problematize artistic creation and interpretation issues in the context of music.
 
Involving the University of Aveiro (UA/Portugal), the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU/Norway), and the Porto Polytechnic Institute (IPP/Portugal), the project aims to promote the creation/recreation of artistic works and the production of new artistic outputs through the use of contemporary languages based on experimentation with technological interfaces; to provide the testing and improvement of new technologies related to artistic creation according to their applicability, pertinence, and functionality; to reshape the idea of expressivity in music through the interaction between creative/performative actions and instrumental feedback; and to disseminate new resources, technological tools, and practical related strategies for artistic creation and interpretation in music.
