DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces Improcess\, a novel cross-disciplinary co
 llaborative project focussed on the design and development of tools to str
 ucture the communication between performer and musical process. We describ
 e a 3-tiered architecture centering around the notion of a Common Music Ru
 ntime\, a shared platform on top of which inter-operating client interface
 s may be combined to form new musical instruments. This approach allows ha
 rdware devices such as the monome to act as an extended hardware interface
  with the same power to  initiate and control musical processes as a bespo
 ke programming language. Finally\, we reflect on the structure of the coll
 aborative project itself\, which offers an opportunity to discuss general 
 research strategy for conducting highly sophisticated technical research w
 ithin a performing arts environment such as the development of a personal 
 regime of preparation for performance.
