Abstract
In this chapter the notion of assemblage is put to work in order to understand how the early career researcher-musician-educator comes to be formed from the milieu. An analysis of the relationship between research as knowledge production and the artistic desire for aesthetics and affectivity is undertaken to trouble the boundaries that separate education research from arts practice. The complexities of working both as an artist and a beginning academic in the enterprise university are examined and an argument made for using music as a concept for research-creation, experimenting with possible points of dissonance and consonance, in order to shift thought and practice.

Notes
- 1.
Drawn from Bees (www.drawnfrombees.com) is an alternative rock band from Brisbane, Australia. I am one of two principal songwriters in the band and also play bass, guitar, keyboards and sing. I have played in bands since I was 12 years old, as well as composing and orchestrating for musical theatre, music production and experimental music-making. I share this to give some sense of the enormous importance of music in my own history and sense of how I have come to be.
