Abstract [en]

This Tilde publication is the first from the Department of Creative Studies to focus on artistic research by gathering together our past, ongoing as well as future artistic research processes. The intention is to showcase the position we are currently in as a department navigating the field of artistic research. The theme of the publication is processes. The starting point is that we must be patient. We cannot rush such a process. Still, challenges need to be met with actions. In so doing, questions arise. We stumble, we fall, we rise, analyse, and move forward. We believe that we learn through experience, which is not linear. Sometimes, we learn from actions in the past. Other times, we learn in the moment of creating. An artistic action will trigger a reflective reaction. An artistic failure may be a research breakthrough. We believe that the artistic actions, the doing, the process of practising our art is the key parameter for feeding an artistic research process. Namely, the artistic activity must be embraced and the skills and knowledge embodied by the artist seen as a tool in the research activity. There is a long tradition at the Department of Creative Studies of conducting research within educational science in visual art, crafts/sloyd and music. Accordingly, our previous educational research has often included interdisciplinary approaches to our art subjects. In recent years, artistic research has grown in importance at the department. Besides the aim of artistic research to generate new knowledge to an artistic practice, it holds the potential to add new insights to the educational scientific field regarding practical, embodied and tacit knowledge, and new understandings of aesthetic activities and experiences.

Abstract [en]

As an artistic researcher, I explore new mediums in my work, in how a new medium can affect a creative process and bring to life unexpected sides of a practice. I am interested in new mediums’ ability to create a reaction in the artistic activity, which may help us define the content of a tradition, and even make way for the development of new traditions, practices and of course shape the artistic expression. In this presentation I will focus on a mobile phone orchestra concept entitled Mobile Phone Orchestra.com, which I have developed in collaboration with a programmer and a graphic designer, moreover, how a media ecology perspective have helped us in the development processes of these new music performance technologies.

Abstract [en]

This text addresses creative practitioners generally, but especially music composers, arrangers and educators who involve new mediums (in terms of alternatives to the traditional music instruments, music scores, music performers, performance spaces…) in their music activities. In a wider perspective, the ambition is to highlight and put focus on a new medium’s ability to affect a creative process; most importantly, how limitations in a new medium can be used as a desirable creative force rather than a limiting aspect of a creative activity.

Abstract [en]

This performance presents an approach to real-time animated notation in multiple parts for comprovisation concerts, including performers regardless of their musical backgrounds. In particular, a participatory Mobile Phone Orchestra concept, using the platform mobilephoneorchestra.com and its animated notation approach, is highlighted in the performance. The performance will be the world premiere of a new composition specifically for soloist Lisa Mezzacappa (upright bass) and Mobile Phone Orchestra (MPO). The MPO will be divided in multiple parts and conducted by animated notation, which will be partly improvised and performed in real-time by the composer Anders Lind. The performance will present a musical dialogue between the soloist Lisa Mezzacappa and the composer Anders Lind together with the generated electronic music of the MPO – A comprovisation performance for Upright Bass and a Polyphonic Mobile Phone Orchestra.

Abstract [sv]

Jordorgeln / The Earth Organ är en interaktiv ljudkonstupplevelse som uppstår ute i parken vid Etnografiska Museet under sommaren 2022. Tre orgelliknande musikinstrument byggs upp i parkområdet och skapar tillsammans en orkesterplattform som bjuder in till musikaliskt samspel. Föräldrar, barn, ungdomar i olika åldrar bjuds in till en musikalisk upplevelse utöver det vanliga.I Jordorgeln behandlas och bearbetas naturens ljud i samklang med stråkar, blåsinstrument, eller klanger från orgel, piano och slagverk. En unik orkester uppstår där alla oavsett ålder eller musikalisk bakgrund ges möjlighet att vara musiker.

Abstract [en]

The premiere live performance of a composition for Piano and Remote Pen and Paper Quartet, conducted by web-based animated notation. The composer Anders Lind is behind the piano in Marseille performing together with four people situated at their individual homes in Sweden, using pen and paper as their musical instruments. The composition is a part of an artistic research project entitled Home Participatory Orchestra initiated by Lind at Umeå University in Sweden. A Home Participatory Orchestra is within the project defined as; Four or more people performing in multiple parts, performers are situated at different geographical locations and performing in real-time over a network, performers are people regardless of their musical background, and everyday objects and home environment are used as musical instruments. The project aims to explore artistic perspectives of a telematic performance concept, using a participatory approach, low-frequency bandwidth, and animated notation. The animated notation for the performance is created by Jonathan Bell and Anders Lind using Drawsocket (Hajdu, 2019. Gottfried, 2019).

Abstract [en]

This presentation focuses on a Mobile Phone Orchestra (MPO) performance platform, - mobilephoneorchestra.com – developed for performances of polyphonic electronic music – to be performed as an orchestra. The aim has been to create a kind of philharmonic orchestra for electronic sounds that uses smart phones as instruments. Mobilephoneorchestra.com is developed for non-musician participation, with the aim to easily fascilitate a mobile phone orchestra performance including many performers, but also to new performance target groups into the world of contemporary art music. Mainly youths between 13-17 years old have been addressed as performers in various project, also since they generally could be seen as experts on handling the smart phone interface. Animated notation in multiple parts is giving performance instructions to the mobile phone orchestra during the performance. In this videopresentation I have highlighted a concert performance in Slovenia from 2020 where two compositions of mine including a mobile phone orchestra were performed. Voltage Controlled String Orchestra, music for MPO (approximately 60: 15-year-old non musicians), Slovenian Philharmonic String Orchestra and Soloist (Analog Synthesizer). Voyage One, music for stand alone MPO. This presentation shows some of the artistic possibilities and limitations with the MPO platform, from a composer perspective. Furthermore, an evaluation based on the experiences of the participating MPO performers at the Voltage Controlled String Orchestra performance, is presented.

Abstract [en]

How can an easy-access Mobile Phone Orchestra (MPO) platform be developed to facilitate high-end, flexible artistic expressions suitable for concert hall performances? Moreover, what challenges and possibilities arise in the development process of a novel MPO platform embracing school children as performers? In this paper, we discuss potential answers to these questions, which were integrated in the development process of mobilephoneorchestra.com. In particular, we highlight the main challenge of developing a performance platform that is both mobile and artistically rewarding, but still easily accessed by schoolchildren. Mobilephoneorchestra.com was developed as a Web Audio API to enable large-scale concert hall performances of fixed polyphonic contemporary art music. It is a kind of philharmonic orchestra for electronic sounds that embraces school children as performers and uses smart phones as instruments. Through an autoethnographic approach, our research was carried out in multiple iterations, inspired by action research. In this paper, we present findings from three iterations that include performances of music involving MPO. Schoolchildren/youths between 10 and 17 years old were addressed as MPO performers. The findings reveal both the artistic challenges of the platform and the possibilities. We specifically highlight the use of mobile music interfaces in combination with animated notation as a novel approach for an MPO concept.
