    Ljudkvalitet, kompression och musikalisk bildning2020In: Explorativ bildning i strömmande medier: Spotify som ett case / [ed] Cecilia Ferm Almqvist; Susanna Leijonhufvud; Niclas Ekberg, Södertörns högskola, 2020, p. 79-114Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Spotify som en strömmande medieaktör har idag en stor roll att spela för hur dagens, framförallt populärmusik, produceras och låter. Med den digitala tekniken, och i synnerhet den strömmande tekniken, underlättas möjligheten till förändring av innehållet i de ljudande filerna. Det går därför att finna många olika ljudande versioner av en och samma inspelning. Olikheterna kan dels bero på att verket har anpassats för olika distributionsformat, men kan också bero på att äldre verk har mastrats om för att få en dynamik och klangbild som motsvarar produktioner i närtid. I detta projekt har en studie, baserad på lyssningstester, genomförts för att utröna på vilket sätt dynamik och klang i musikproduktioner får betydelse för den musikaliska upplevelsen och vidare, hur utbildning och erfarenhet inom musik- eller ljudområdet kan spela roll i ens preferenser för olika versioner av samma inspelning. Ett huvudsyfte med kapitlet är att medvetandegöra lyssnandet för att förstå hur teknik både kan hjälpa och stjälpa möjligheterna till upplevelse av musik samt att öka medvetenheten för de kvaliteter i det musikaliska språket som kan komma att påverkas av de produktionsbeslut som berör dynamik och klang.

    Concert Hall Acoustics’ Influence on the Tempo of Musical Performances2019In: 147th AES Convention / [ed] Areti Andreopoulou and Braxton Boren, New York: Audio Engineering Society, Inc., 2019, article id 10240Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The acoustics of a concert hall is an integral and significant part of a musical performance as it affects the artistic decisions made by performer. Still, there are few systematic studies on the phenomenon. In this paper the effect of concert hall acoustics, mainly reverberation, on musical tempo for a selection of different genres and ensemble types is analyzed quantitatively. The study utilizes audio recordings made in a concert hall equipped with a movable ceiling enabling a variable volume and thus a variable reverberation time. The results show that there are cases where the tempo follows a change in acoustics as well as cases where it remains more or less unchanged.

    The Spotifyication of public service media2019In: The Information Society, ISSN 0197-2243, E-ISSN 1087-6537, Vol. 35, no 4, p. 173-183Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article investigates contemporary cultural policy reforms enabled by paid digital media distribution services, taking the case of the integration of Spotify into the Swedish public media system. Specifically, it reflects on the conflicts arising over the prioritization of digital distribution over cultural preservation, during the gradual substitution of the Spotify digital services for the services provided by the traditional material media archive, the Grammofonarkivet. It considers the factors influencing changes in the Swedish cultural policy environment and the nature of the complaints and human rights claims made by employees of the Grammofonarkivet to UNESCO regarding its structural transformation. It also postulates a “Spotification” model of public service media emerging in Sweden but potentially affecting other countries with public media systems served by traditional media archives.

    Ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv på den gränsöverskridande forskningens villkor och möjligheter2020In: Explorativ bildning i strömmande medier: Spotify som ett case / [ed] Cecilia Ferm Almqvist; Susanna Leijonhufvud; Niclas Ekberg, Huddinge: Södertörns högskola, 2020, 1, p. 231-260Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Vilka bildningsprocesser kan urskiljas ur människors Spotifyanvändande? Det visar sig att ett sådant användande är tätt sammanflätat med musikalisk- såväl som digital kunskap. Med ett fokus på de bildningsprocesser som sker i samspelet mellan människa, teknik och musik utmanas förståelsen av vad en strömmande musiktjänst som Spotify kan erbjuda. ”Evolving Bildung in the nexus of streaming services, art and users – Spotify as a case” är ett tvärdisciplinärt projekt som visar hur människans bildningsprocesser villkoras, utmanas och möjliggörs i och med den strömmande medieutvecklingen. Denna bok kan med fördel användas inom utbildningar i musikpedagogik, musikvetenskap, musikproduktion, ljudteknik, pedagogik, kulturstudier, sociologi, samt medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap. I detta specifika kapitel i antologin tittar Ekberg och Ferm Almqvist närmare på de projektdeltagande forskarnas egna erfarenheter av att bedriva tvärdisciplinär forskning. Författarna försöker förstå deltagande forskarnas upplevelser av den gränsöverskridande forskningens såväl värden som utmaningar med stöd av ett livsvärldsfenomenologiskt perspektiv på kommunikation och meningsskapande.

    Dancing With Drones: Crafting Novel Artistic Expressions Through Intercorporeality2019Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Movement-based interactions are gaining traction, requiring a better understanding of how such expressions are shaped by designers. Through an analysis of an artistic process aimed to deliver a commissioned opera where custom-built drones are performing on stage alongside human performers, we observed the importance of achieving an intercorporeal understanding to shape body-based emotional expressivity. Our analysis reveals how the choreographer moves herself to: (1) imitate and feel the affordances and expressivity of the drones' 'otherness' through her own bodily experience; (2) communicate to the engineer of the team how she wants to alter the drones' behaviors to be more expressive; (3) enact and interactively alter her choreography. Through months of intense development and creative work, such an intercorporeal understanding was achieved by carefully crafting the drones' behaviors, but also by the choreographer adjusting her own somatics and expressions. The choreography arose as a result of the expressivity they enabled together.

    Explorativ bildning i strömmande medier: Spotify som ett case2020Collection (editor) (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    What educational processes take place in people's Spotify use? It turns out that such use is closely linked to musical as well as digital competences. With a focus on the educational processes that take place in the interplay between people, technology and music, the understanding of what a streaming music service like Spotify can offer is challenged.

    "Evolving Bildung in the nexus of streaming services, art and users - Spotify as a case" is a cross-disciplinary project that shows how the processes of human education and self-formation are conditioned, challenged and made possible by the streaming media development. This book can be used in educations in music pedagogy, musicology, music production, audio engineering, pedagogy, cultural studies, sociology, and media and communication science.

    Spotify as a case of musical Bildung2021In: Nordic Research in Music Education, E-ISSN 2703-8041, Vol. 2, no 1, p. 89-113Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article explores the meaning and function of streaming media as a potential facilitator of musical Bildung. Taking the affordances of streaming media technologies as a starting point, the article thus focuses on the formative and cultivating dimensions a music streaming service such as Spotify might offer. The specific aim of this article is to describe and analyse how musical Bildung may evolve within a Spotify context from a user perspective. To address the aim from the point of view of music education, Spotify users’ activities and experiences of streaming media interactions were accessed, inspired by internet-related ethnography. Stimulated recall interviews, focusing on the participants’ experiences as well as their actual use of Spotify’s streaming service, were conducted, recorded, and transcribed. The generated material was subjected to co-operative hermeneutic content analysis. The results illuminate how Bildung evolves in users’ encounters with the service and with art mediated via Spotify. Relevant topics occurring in the human-art-technology relationship of Bildung from a Heideggerian perspective were Being-possible, the ability-to-be, and Spotify as the Other. In sum, it can be stated that Bildung evolves when Spotify exceeds the thingness of the Other, becoming a work of art in itself, throwing the user into Being.

    Abstract [en]

    These are results and thoughts from my research at Swedish theater academies.

    Within a time span of about three years, I have interviewed just over 40 students from the four theater academies in Sweden. Driven by an interest in their view of collectivity and individualism in relation to education, the acting profession and society. For the same purpose I have also talked to and interviewed a number of teachers from theater academies about their experience of contemporary students in relation to collectivism and individualism, in a teaching context.

    Negotiating the Discursive Voice in Chamber Music2020In: Performance, Subjectivity and Experimentation / [ed] Catherina Laws, Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2020, p. 53-78Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter discusses chamber music performance from the concept of discursive voice, previously proposed by the two authors. It takes two recently premiered compositions by David Gorton, for charango and soprano violin, and for two guitars, premioered by Östersjö, with Mieko Kanno and Jessica Kaiser in 2019, as point of departure. Different methods are used in the study of the two collaborations, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The results suggest that the model of discursive voice is efficient in describing the nature of the interactions between the two performers and the score.

    Abstract [sv]

    De senaste åren har flera studier visat att svenska elevers läsförmåga sjunker. I detta kapitel presenteras en testad speldesign som avser att utveckla elevers förmågaoch lust att läsa skönlitterära klassiker. Designen baseras på läroplanen förgrundskolans senare år och inkluderar spelelementen avatarer, uppdrag, interaktivitetoch erfarenhetspoäng. I projektet har läsforskare samarbetat med forskare inom visuell gestaltning samt med lärare och elever. Med utgångspunkt i metoden Design Based Research har designen testats i en undervisningssituation med målet att utveckla en digital lärplattform som kan matas med olika innehåll relaterat till litteraturundervisning. Tentativa resultat visar att speldesignelementen avatar, uppdrag och erfarenhetspoäng verkar ha potential i undervisningen, medan interaktivitet behöver utforskas ytterligare.

    The Equalizer: Amplifying artistic resonance and reducing mental dissonance in artistic processes2019In: Nordic Network for Researchin Music Education Abstracts: NNMPF 2019: Futures of Music in Higher Education / [ed] Ronny Lindeborg; Erkki Huovinen, Royal College of Music in Stockholm , 2019, p. 40-42Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In higher music education, techniques for expanding creativity and bodily awareness have traditionally focused on instrumental skills and “in-music” aspects. Voices have been raised for facilitating mind-body integration and for a more holistic approach to creative processes. Tutor experiences have paid attention to student’s need for understanding their own creativity and innovative strategies. Earlier research has actualized the challenges with performance anxiety and methodological development within first-person measurement and technology. Observed challenges with stress, anxiety, self-actualization and emotional stability in music making practices have raised awareness of the need for new ways of facilitating students’ artistic development in higher music education.

    Transformative Technology and high tech optimizing technologies in the health, sport and adventure sectors are filling personal curiosity and needs. The intention to support change and development or optimizing processes and abilities make the technology transformative. This technology, in the form of (DIY) gadgets and applications, involves procedures and products that offer the user in-depth feedback. This feedback can involve figures, diagrams, sounds, colours, shapes etc as representations of inner states of mind and or body. The development of transformative technology, hitherto mostly done by commercial and market forces, has placed academia in a peripheral position.

    One starting point in this project is the assumption that by increasing attention and awareness of what we here label as the “first instrument”, i.e., the human herself, artists can apply valid self-regulating strategies that both heightens creative processes as well as supports a sustainable working life. This intunement ought to be of great importance when it comes to an artistic performance but also in composing and learning strategies.

    Abstract [en]

    Understanding of cognitive strategies in supporting artistic expressions, reducing stress, performance anxiety and emotional blockings are of paramount importance to empower students’ and prepare for a sustainable work life as musicians. How can we aid musical artists to cope and master their emotional and mental dissonances in order to empower creative and artistic progressions in a sustainable way within higher music education?

    This pilot has several aims including investigating possibilities for higher education to interact with societal artistic communities as well as students’ DIY culture using available technology in order to analyse and co-create a professional development including artistic competence, holistic awareness and personal balance. The project will explore transformative technologies; HRV, Muse (EEG), Soma Mat & Breathing Light (heat and breath feedback), and the ARK-crystal, which differ regarding presented data (biofeedback) and function. Further, how these devices relate to research theory and methodology. We pose the critical question: Can these applications contribute to the identification, interpretation, and organization of the First Instrument, the students’ own aesthetic sensory information, embodied behaviours and cognitive strategies?

    This presentation will include methodological challenges discussed and interpreted in the transdisciplinary research group SANE – embracing researchers in art, quantum physics, medicine, sustainability learning, and biology.

    EN ÖVNING I ÖVNING: Ett examensarbete om studieteknik och övningsfokus2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Detta arbete handlar om övningsteknik. I arbetet undersökte jag hur Mindfulness meditation och Element från samtida studieteknikslitteratur samt musikforskning som verktyg för att förbättra min övning kunde förbättra mitt övningsfokus samt min generella övningskvalité. Syftet med arbetet var att utforska om jag kunde höja min övningskvalité genom att implementera de två ovan nämnda övningsteknikerna. Vidare så behandlar även arbetet huruvida en ändrad övningsteknik kunde påverka mina musikaliska resultat och detta genererade tre individuella informella solo-inspelningar på Mozarts violinsonater nr 22, 23 samt 35. 

    Resultatet av arbetet påvisar inga slutsatser kring hur Mindfulness meditation och Element från samtida studieteknikslitteratur samt musikforskning som verktyg för att förbättra min övning kunde förbättra min övning eftersom omfattningen av detta arbete inte var tillräckligt stort för att producera säkra resultat.

    Response guided workshops on musical interpretation: Developing a model for participatory instrumental teaching within higher music education2020In: Proceedings of the 23rd International Seminar of the ISME Commission on the Education of the Professional Musician (CEPROM): Ethics and Inclusion in the Education of Professional Musicians / [ed] Heidi Partti, Leah Coutts, International Society for Music Education , 2020, p. 44-64Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Earlier research indicates that the conservatoire tradition still influences higher music education. In the context of Western classical music, it has been criticised for unreflected use of the master–apprentice model, e.g., emphasising imitative aspects of one-to-one tuition, favouring technical over interpretive aspects of musicianship, and lack of systematic development of students’ autonomy.

    Research on group learning of Western classical music within higher music education has highlighted that although students say that group lessons are valuable, they often do not realise the inherent learning potential. Also, students need instructions for how to prepare (and actually prepare) to be able to contribute actively during lessons.

    Studies of text seminars have shown that student activity, quality of response, ownership of learning, and participation on equal terms can increase through using response models. Although growing attention is given to collaborative learning within higher music education, there is a need to better understand how learning of musical interpretation could be developed using such models.

    This paper aims to study how response guided workshops can be arranged to improve piano students’ learning of musical interpretation of Western classical music. During autumn 2019, five workshops were conducted with a group of four piano students from the bachelor programme at one institution within higher music education in Sweden. In the response model used, students, one week before the workshop, scanned their scores, audio recorded their performances, described where they were in their interpretational process, and included questions directing the desired response. All participants shared their written response, and students beforehand selected topics to focus on during the workshop.

    The produced empirical material consists of:

    • scanned scores, audio recorded performances, and written instructions;
    • participants’ written responses;
    • transcriptions of four workshops;
    • reflective one-minute papers written at the end of each workshop; and
    • the researcher’s field notes and reflections.

    The preliminary findings indicate the importance of communicative aspects and how a response model is implemented as challenging and changing established educational traditions are complicated. The students showed a limited capacity for verbalising their thoughts about musical interpretation, selecting topics to focus on during workshops, and tended to focus on details. During the study, the students’ understanding of musical interpretation seemed to increase, and they stated that such workshops should be included in the curriculum. Consequently, further developing such workshops may contribute to increasing student autonomy and responsibility, equal participation, and multivoicedness.

    The conditions for learning musical interpretation in one-to-one piano tuition in higher music education2020In: Nordic Research in Music Education, E-ISSN 2703-8041, Vol. 1, no 1, p. 103-131Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Research has indicated that one-to-one teaching in higher music education in Western classical music typically favours technical over interpretive aspects of musicianship, and imitation of the teacher's rather than the student's explorative interpretation. The aim of the present study is to investigate students' and teachers' understandings of how musical interpretation of Western classical music is learned in this context. Semi-structured qualitative interviews with six piano students and four teachers in Sweden were conducted and hermeneutically analysed using haiku poems and poetical condensations. The analysis found that the conditions for learning musical interpretation centred upon students achieving a high level of autonomy, as affected by three key aspects of teaching and learning: (1) the student’s and the teacher's understandings of what musical interpretation is, (2) the student's experience of freedom of interpretation as acknowledged by the teacher, and (3) (expectations of) the student's explorative approach. As none of these aspects were reported as being explicitly addressed during lessons, there might be a need for both teachers and students to verbalise them more clearly to support piano students' development.

    The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’s apprentices: A critical analysis of teaching and learning of musical interpretation in a piano master class2020In: Svensk tidskrift för musikforskning, ISSN 0081-9816, E-ISSN 2002-021X, Vol. 102, p. 37-65Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Master classes, arguably the pinnacle of the master–apprentice tradition, have been common within higher education of Western classical music. Although claimed to be effective, teaching and learning of musical interpretation in this setting are not well-researched. One seven day long piano master class in the form of a self-contained university course was critically analysed from a hermeneutic perspective and philosophically discussed using three components from the ancient dialogue Philopseudes concerning the learning of magic as well as my experiences of apprenticeship. The empirical material consisted of observations of and field notes from 18 master class lessons; six video-stimulated interviews with two students, master class teacher, and the students’ regular teacher; qualitative semi-structured follow-up interviews with two students and the students’ regular teacher; and scanned versions of the students’ scores. The analysis indicated that the students’ learning of musical interpretation is hindered owing to the master’s beliefs and actions; the lessons centre on the master’s privileged access to secret knowledge mediated in writing; and, the metaphors of gods, ghosts, and Weiheküsse, can be used to understand the master’s storytelling and teaching. I suggest re-negotiating the master class and the required competencies of teachers for such classes within higher music education.

    Invisible Sounds in a Nested Ecological Space2019In: Seismograf, ISSN 2245-4705, Vol. 22Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This audio paper is an exploration of the conceptual ideas for, and the sonic results of, a site-specific day-long installation/performance in the Gothenburg harbour presented at the Gothenburg Art Sound Festival in October 2016. The piece is titled Invisible Sounds, A ‘stethoscope’ towards sounds unheard, and its aim was to create a performative situation where the participating artists, as well as audience and by-passers, could explore the complexity of urban noise. An aim with the project was to highlight and make ‘visible’, or heard, concealed soundings in order to reveal “invisible mobility below the surface of a visual world” (Voegelin, 2014, p.3). By creating a series of interactions between human and environment, as with the immediate interaction between performer, aeolian guitar and the wind on site, and further enhanced through the use of sensors and hydrophones to create sensation beyond normal human perception, the installation presents a widening of the performed space, such as defined by Denis Smalley (Smalley, 2007). With an Arena space set in an urban soundscape the installation introduces what we would like to think of as a Nested Ecological Space. Or, more specifically in this setting: A Nested Ecological Sound and Performance Space.

    The original (live) installation tries to raise the awareness of this (nested) totality by means of an aesthetic/affective experience (which of course is not possible to represent through a stereo recording); not just space, not just environmental sounds, not just performance, but all this together.

    In connection to this the paper also addresses the difference between the two concepts coupling and relation as discussed by Alexander Refsum Jensenius (Jensenius, 2007) and sets these in relation to what Elisabeth Grosz (Grosz, 2008, p.72) writes about sensation versus perception.

    The audio paper discusses the installation by revisiting its artistic materials but also through a multi-layered display of auto-ethnography, documentary materials and analysis.

    ”Stäm upp för din konung, du stämmornas mö!”: Om orgel och koralsats som pedagogiska artefakter i församlingssångsmusicerande2017Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Ett bärande element i gestaltningen av Svenska kyrkans gudstjänstliv har alltsedan reformation och ortodoxi varit församlingens delaktighet i det gemensamma gudstjänstfirandet. Inte minst har detta kommit till uttryck i församlingssång.

    Ett kyrkomusikaliskt bidrag till den liturgiska gestaltningen är ledningen av denna sång. För gudstjänstorganisten tar sig detta uttryck i bl. a. ”orgelspel till psalmsång”. I min avhandling Orgelsång och psalmspel. Musikalisk gestaltning av församlingssång möblerar jag om detta uttryck, i syfte att formulera en förståelse av konstnärliga processer som ligger till grund för musikalisk gestaltning av orgelbeledsagad församlingssång. De krav som sådan gestaltning ställer är inte begränsade till organistens musikaliska och speltekniska kompetens. Gudstjänstorganisten är inte en orgelsolist i det liturgiska skeendet, utan samverkar som en av deltagarna i interaktion tillsammans med församlingen. I Henric Leop. Rohrmans uppfordran till organisten att från sin orgelpall noga ge akt på just sången (1805), har instrumentalisten fått verktyg att kunna överge orgelns spel till psalmsången, för att i stället låta instrumentet sjunga tillsammans med församlingen: i samspel och orgelsång. Detta samspel utgör också myllan för ett gemensamt lärande. I samklang mellan poesi och musik öppnas landskap som kan inspirera till enskild och gemensam reflektion utifrån liturgiska och konstnärliga aspekter. I sådant lärande, präglat av interaktion, ges förutsättningar för deltagarna att bli varandras pedagoger. Erfarenheten att en vokal ingång är grundläggande för all kyrkomusikalisk gestaltning kommer väl till pass även i pedagogiskt hantverk kring ämnet liturgiskt orgelspel. Denna recital-lecture tar sin utgångspunkt i hur det reformatoriska arvet avseende orgelbeledsagad församlingssång förmedlades vid sekelskiftet 1800, samt i hur övergången vid denna tid från generalbasnoterad koralsats till utskriven fyrstämmighet, kom att påverka utvecklingen. Vid instrumentet ges talrika exempel på hur denna kunskap också kan stimulera gestaltningen av nutida orgelrelaterat församlingssångsmusicerande.

    Gregorianik i Svenska kyrkans mässa 1897–20182019In: Svensk pastoraltidskrift, ISSN 0039-6699, Vol. 61, no 20, p. 590-595Article in journal (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [sv]

    Artikeln ger en överblick över gregorianikens ställning i svensk mässmusik under mer än hundra år ovh blickar även framåt. Är gregorianiken i mässan överspelad? Har den haft sin tid? Med Den svenska mässboken I (1942) kom det stora genombrott för gregoriansk sång i det officiella gudstjänstmaterialet. Med 1986 års handbok var gregorianiken i stort sett intakt, men ganska snart därefter kom kritik mot att gregorianiken dominerade på bekostnad av nyskriven musik eller musik från andra traditioner. Så speglar nya kyrkohandboken den tilltagande pluralismen i Svenska kyrkans liturgiska musik, nykomponerade mässpartier likaväl som gregorianska ordinariepartier.

    "Till gammalkyrkliga texter": Latinet i Otto Olssons kyrkliga vokalmusik2020In: Svensk pastoraltidskrift, ISSN 0039-6699, Vol. 62, no 20, p. 590-596Article in journal (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [sv]

    Artikeln behandlar Otto Olssons (1879–1964) latinskspråkiga kyrkliga vokalmusik. Inledningsvis översikt av annan latinskspråkig svensk kyrkomusik från 1800-talet och fram till ca 1930, vilken visar att Olsson var nära nog ensam i sin generation om att komponera till latinska texter. Olssons först och även största latinska komposition var Requiem (1901–1903), som dock förblev okänt fram till efter tonsättarens död. Desto mer känt och ofta spelat blev hans Te Deum (1906). Dessa verk behandlas kortfattat i särskilda avsnitt, liksom, mer utförligt och analytiskt, Sex latinska hymner (1912–1913), det av de egna verken som Olsson satte högst. I det sistnämnda verket använder Olsson mindre kända texter ur det romerska officiet. Under 1930-talet komponerade Olsson några enstaka sånger med latinsk text, dels för blandad kör, dels för damkör, med texter dels ur det romerska officiet, dels ur Piæ cantiones. Så sent som på 1940-talet arbetade Olsson med ett oratorium, baserat på Petrus Damianis "De gloria paradisi", vilket dock aldrig fullbordades. Avslutningsvis diskuteras orsakerna till Olssons i den svenska kontexten ovanligt flitiga bruk av latin i sina kompositioner. Här finns ett tydligt samband med hans syn på kyrkomusik, där gregorianik och äldre vokalpolyfoni var viktiga inspirationskällor, något som tydligt märks i hans kompositioner, framför allt Sex latinska hymner. Även hans orgelmusik över gregorianska teman kommer in i detta sammanhang, framför allt inspirationen från Charles-Marie Widors bruk av gregorianik i orgelsymfonier. Olsson såg den gregorianska melodiken som ett sätt att få till stånd "Kyrkan värdiga orgelstycken", och han torde ha haft en liknande syn på latinet som sångspråk.

    Information, (Inter)action and Collaboration in Record Production Environments2020In: The Bloomsbury Handbook of Music Production / [ed] Simon Zagorski-Thomas; Andrew Bourbon, New York: Bloomsbury Academic, 2020, p. 145-160Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Record production environments are filled with information that influences action, decision-making and work. Different information is available for different work. The production process involves coordinating work among a diverse group of collaborators. Each collaborator contributes specialized perspectives and work to the production. To coordinate their work, information must be shared. We can build a deeper understanding of the production process by observing information needs, how information influences actions and decisions, and how it is shared.

     Though not widely embraced in record production research, perceptual and cognitive approaches focus on the detection, (mental) integration and utilization of information, sensory and otherwise. Ecological approaches, in particular, capture context and individualistic vantages by modeling relationships between the information specific perceivers are able to detect and what objects/actors in the environment afford.  

     This chapter uses ecological and cognitive framings to examine production environments; the distribution of work; communication among expert collaborators; collaboration when perspectives and goals differ; and utilizing technology to mediate communications and manipulate recorded artifacts. Special attention is paid to producers because of the unusual role they play in coordinating activities among collaborators who share a working environment. The approaches discussed can easily be adapted to suit other types of collaborator.

    Mixing with Intelligent Mixing Systems: Evolving Practices and Lessons from Computer Assisted Design2020Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Intelligent Mixing Systems (IMS) are being integrated into mixing workflows, however, there is little discussion around how these technologies are impacting mixing practices. This study explores the possibilities and pitfalls of IMS, by comparing to the use of Computer Assisted Design (CAD) tools in the wider design context. The aim of this paper is to take advice from the field of CAD about the potential benefits and known issues of computer-assistance in creative work, thereby allowing audio engineers to take more informed decisions regarding the use of IMS within their workflows.

    Affordances of Musical Sound: Listening to the Spotify Streaming Service2020Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In the context of musical Bildung, a study was performed to assess how different aspects of education and experience may influence the affordance from music listening in a typical streaming service such as Spotify. This was done by investigating whether subjects’ backgrounds affect preferences and/or choice of wording in motivations when comparing versions of different tunes. The versions that were compared were selected for typical differences that may occur in a streaming context full of choices, e.g. different masters or user settings. Five different tunes were compared in a classic A/B test. A survey, related to the A/B test, captured three aspects of perceived differences: preference, musical affection and audio quality. Questions were also added to capture a range of background factors that were assumed to affect these aspects, e.g. listening habits, earlier musical education and/or socialisation. Earlier research has shown that similar tests were performed with people of convenience, e.g. sound or computer engineers, predominantly males 25–45 years of age. They have thus not accounted for the results from psychoacoustic studies which have stated that preferences may differ on behalf of demographic factors such as gender and age. In the study at hand, the common selection of participants was challenged by performing a strategic selection of participants. This included professional musicians, students within music education, professional sound engineers, students in sound engineering and people without any explicit education within the expertise areas accounted for above. The number of participants was N=60 of mixed gender and of varying ages from 13 years and up. The presentation will show several statistically significant results.

    Inside the Choreography of Gender2020In: Performance, Subjectivity and Experimentation / [ed] Catherine Laws, Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2020, p. 169-196Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter is a set of reflections on the process of making Inside/Outside, an installation built on a concept by Nguyễn Thanh Thủy (VN) and developed in collaboration between The Six Tones (VN/SWE), the choreographer Marie Fahlin (SWE) and sound artist Matt Wright (UK). We discuss the choreography of gender (Foster 1998) in the performance of traditional Vietnamese music and the role of the body in the play with gendered identity which is launched in performance of the piece. 

    Qualitative analysis was part of the working method and was carried out by all the participating artists. The study of Inside/Outside focusses on 3rd and 1st person perspectives, where the latter has been approached in two ways: in interview sessions with the three performers and in coding sessions where the coding and the annotations have all referred to the  subjective meaning of the gesture. In 2015, the installation was enhanced by new headphone tracks in which the three performers express their individual experiences of performing the choreography in the piece and reflections on the ways in which they have been socialised into being musicians in their respective cultures. Here, the division between fictive and authentic identities is challenged through the activation of the voice of a narrator (Trinh, 2010). The chapter suggests, by reference to Gadamer’s concept of play, that the process of creating Inside/Outside constituted a situation in which the subjectivity of the individual artist is in a sense bracketed by the rules of the emerging artwork (Gadamer, 2008). Hence, when the artists engage with the body images at play in the choreography of gender in a specific culture, moving in-between different layers of collective and individual identity becomes possible through the rules of the game at play.

    Performative ethnographies of migration and intercultural collaboration in Arrival Cities: Hanoi2020In: Journal of Embodied Research, E-ISSN 2513-8421, Vol. 3, no 1, p. 1-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This video article explores the embodied experience of migration by revisiting the process of making Arrival Cities: Hanoi. This piece of experimental music theatre sought a new format for politically informed theatre that would be responsive to the challenges of a globalized society. It is built on ethnographic fieldwork carried out by the Vietnamese/Swedish group The Six Tones, in collaboration with director Jörgen Dahlqvist and the composer Kent Olofsson.

    The role of this ethnographic process was manifold. It was a means of a political engagement, which also created images that could be shared and transformed in the performance. In Arrival Cities: Hanoi, the stage was set so that the three performers could play their instruments, perform choreography, and tell stories. A central aim was to make the individual memories of the performers a cornerstone of the dramaturgy. We are interested in how memory is embodied and how performative ethnography can constitute a method for an ethically and artistically grounded practice, within which we also emphasize the role of empathy and the sharing of individual life stories.

    In this video article, we give particular attention to the choreographies that were recorded and created as part of this process. Intercultural music and theatre operate in a liminal space between traditions, where aesthetic choices are difficult to negotiate. Without trust and empathy, these negotiations cannot reach beyond the surface. In Arrival Cities: Hanoi, composer, director, and performers were all engaged in such learning processes, and the music as performed can be seen as the embodiment of a particular narrative, grounded in an intercultural collaboration.

    Abstract [en]

    This paper describes the use of the Gestrument Engine as a tool to develop a more articulated understanding of the interaction between user and digital instruments in musical creativity. Through the use of the Gestrument Engine, the paper seeks to develop a new model, the Musical Interactivity Area. This is a visualisation of the area between a composed piece of music and a playable instrument, mapping out possibilities that arise when using tools where it is possible to both pre-define the confines of the input data as well as the structural and temporal musical content. The Gestrument Engine is used by defining several alternative versions of the same musical rules, and later positioning these versions within the Musical Interactivity Area to exemplify the model.

    Analysing Musical Performance in Videos Using Deep Neural Networks2020In: Proceedings of the 1st Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity, AIMC, Stockholm, Sweden, 2020Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper proposes a method to facilitate labelling of music performance videos with automatic methods (3D-Convolutional Neural Networks) instead of tedious labelling by human experts. In particular, we are interested in the detection of the 17 musical performance gestures generated during the performance (guitar play) of musical pieces which have been video-recorded. In earlier work, these videos have been annotated manually by a human expert according to the labels in the musical analysis methodology. Such a labelling method is time-consuming and would not be scalable to big collections of video recordings. In this paper, we use a 3D-CNN model from activity recognition tasks and adapt it to the music performance dataset following a transfer learning approach. In particular, the weights of the first blocks were kept and only the later layers as well as additional classification layers were re-trained. The model was evaluated on a set of 17 music performance gestures and reports an average accuracy of 97.9% (F1:77.8%) on the training set and 85.7% (F1:38.6%) on the test set. An additional analysis shows which gestures are particularly difficult and suggest improvements for future work.

    Participation and creation: towards an ecological understanding of musical creativity2019In: La Deleuziana: Online Journal of Philosophy, E-ISSN 2421-3098, Vol. 10, p. 371-385Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper draws on artistic explorations of territorial and spatial forces through analysis of projects set in the natural landscape, in a specific indoor site or at the threshold between the two. Specific attention is given to the artistic processes at play in the transformation of materials created/collected in the natural environment when shaped for presentation in an indoor location. What is the relation between being and becoming in this liminal space? According to Erwin Straus, the impetus to this process is the pathic moment of sensation, a moment which evolves in two dimensions: as an unfolding of the world and of the self (Straus 1965). Louis Schreel argues that in Deleuze and Guattari, artistic practice activates a process in which «the work ‘captures’ forces at work in the world and renders these sensible. Its effects are above all real and not merely imaginary: the image is not a mental given but a concrete, existing reality» (Schreel 2014: 100). Here, Deleuze distinguishes between the percept – landscape in the absence of man – and affect, the non-human becomings contained in the artwork. This paper wishes to unpack these processes through a study of two concrete instances of artistic practice, aiming to create immediate interaction between musician and environment, in which either of the two authors took part.

    Method Development for Multimodal Data Corpus Analysis of Expressive Instrumental Music Performance2020In: Frontiers in Psychology, E-ISSN 1664-1078, Vol. 11, no 576751Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Musical performance is a multimodal experience, for performers and listeners alike. This paper reports on a pilot study which constitutes the first step toward a comprehensive approach to the experience of music as performed. We aim at bridging the gap between qualitative and quantitative approaches, by combining methods for data collection. The purpose is to build a data corpus containing multimodal measures linked to high-level subjective observations. This will allow for a systematic inclusion of the knowledge of music professionals in an analytic framework, which synthesizes methods across established research disciplines. We outline the methods we are currently developing for the creation of a multimodal data corpus dedicated to the analysis and exploration of instrumental music performance from the perspective of embodied music cognition. This will enable the study of the multiple facets of instrumental music performance in great detail, as well as lead to the development of music creation techniques that take advantage of the cross-modal relationships and higher-level qualities emerging from the analysis of this multi-layered, multimodal corpus. The results of the pilot project suggest that qualitative analysis through stimulated recall is an efficient method for generating higher-level understandings of musical performance. Furthermore, the results indicate several directions for further development, regarding observational movement analysis, and computational analysis of coarticulation, chunking, and movement qualities in musical performance. We argue that the development of methods for combining qualitative and quantitative data are required to fully understand expressive musical performance, especially in a broader scenario in which arts, humanities, and science are increasingly entangled. The future work in the project will therefore entail an increasingly multimodal analysis, aiming to become as holistic as is music in performance.

    Listening to the Other2020 (ed. 1)Book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Our contemporary, globalised society demands new forms of listening. But what are these new forms? In Listening to the Other, Stefan Östersjö challenges conventional understandings of the ways musicians listen. He develops a transmodal understanding of listening that is situated in the body—a body that is extended by its mediation through musical instruments and other technologies. Listening habits can turn these tools—and even the body itself—into resistant objects or musical Others. Supported by extensive multimedia documentation and drawing on examples from the author’s own artistic projects spanning electronics, intercultural collaboration, and ecological sound art, this volume enables musicians to learn how to approach musical Others through alternative modes of listening and allows readers to discover artistic methods for intercultural collaboration and ecological sound art practices.

    This book is closely linked to a series of cutting-edge artistic works, including a triple concerto recorded with the Seattle Symphony and several video works with ecological sound art. It represents the analytical outcomes of artistic research projects carried out in Sweden, the UK, and Belgium between 2009 and 2015.

    Abstract [en]

    This chapter discusses Vietnamese soundscapes with a particular interest in the politically and culturally embedded complexity of their history. An account of the history of sound art practices in Vietnam is drawn from interviews with artists who have been central to these developments. Further, the authors argue that these practices have emerged out of an engagement with the rapidly shifting soundscapes of the country, also often triggered by a wish to activate memories of lost sounds.  Finally, the chapter also refers to the authors’ collaboration with the filmmaker Trịnh Minh-hà, on the music for her most recent film, Forgetting Vietnam, the making of which spans the short history of sound art in Vietnam, and which engages with memory and forgetfulness in ways that are coloured also by the particular perspective of diaspora. 

       The chapter gives special attention to what Schafer would call the ‘lo-fi’ character of much of the soundscapes found in the natural environment in Vietnam. The density of imprints from human activity is high, also on the Vietnamese countryside. In the city, on the other hand, the soundscape is also characterized by the sound of guestworkers from the countryside, providing yet another perspective on the multi-layered sonorities of Vietnam.
