    Animated notation in multiple parts for crowd of non-professional performers2018In: Proceedings of the international conference on new interfaces for musical expression, The International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, 2018, p. 13-18Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The Max Maestro – an animated music notation system – was developed so as to enable the exploration of artistic possibilities for composition and performance practices within the field of contemporary art music, more specifically, to enable a large crowd of non-professional performers regardless of their musical background to perform fixed music compositions written in multiple individual parts. Furthermore, the Max Maestro was developed in order to facilitate concert hall performances where non-professional performers could be synchronised with an electronic music part. This paper presents the background, the content and the artistic ideas behind the Max Maestro system and gives two examples of live concert hall performances at which the Max Maestro was used. An artistic research approach with an auto ethnographic method was adopted for the study. This paper contributes new knowledge to the field of animated music notation.

    Challenging the ecology of orchestra music performance2023Conference paper (Refereed)
    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.

    Interactive sound art and animated notation as an ensemble performance platform in primary level music education2020In: Educare, ISSN 1653-1868, E-ISSN 2004-5190, no 1, p. 53-81Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article showcases excerpts of my artistic research in progress. In particular, I demonstrate how an interdisciplinary approach combining knowledge from the fields of artistic research, Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and game studies mayinspire primary level music education of today. I highlight examples of novel digital music technology and present an innovate approach to using these for group performance exercises in the music classroom. In particular, I report from a study where my interactive sound art exhibition LINES, in combination with animated music notation, was used as a digital ensemble music platform. The data of the study comprises five workshop sessions with pre-schoolers using this platform. An autoethnographic method and analysis of video documentation of the workshop sessions were used as methods for the study. The results showed that LINES was both engaging and easily accessed. Moreover, it allowed the majority of the target group to perform musical exercises as an ensemble. I argue that the use of traditional instruments and traditional notation creates a democratic issue in primary level music education. Furthermore, with support from the study and related research, I argue that platforms such as this may democratize music education involving pupils aged 5-15 years.

    Large-scale music compositions and novel technology innovations: Summarizing the process of Voices of Umeå, an artistic research project2016In: HumaNetten, E-ISSN 1403-2279, no 37, p. 107-139Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Voices of Umeå was a three-year interdisciplinary artistic research project initiated in 2012 by the author. The main aim with the project was to explore new artistic possibilities for composition and performance practices within the field of contemporary art music. More specifically, artistic possibilities, which arises when non-professional performers regardless musical backgrounds enables to participate in the composition and performance processes. The idea was to develop and explore new pedagogical methods to involve non-professional performers by using new technology and combining knowledge from the fields of artistic and educational practices. Different aspects of participatory art were embraced in the artistic processes aiming towards three compositions, including two concerts and one exhibition. An action research model in three steps –planning, action and analysis of results inspired the methodology, where the analysis and experiences of each cycle within the project were affecting the further cycles of the project.

    This article reports from selected parts of the process of the project and contributes with new knowledge to the fields of animated music notation and participatory art.

    Limitations as stimulation: rethinking the music performance ecology2023In: Artistic research within creative studies / [ed] Anders Lind; Lotta Lundstedt, Umeå: Umeå University , 2023, 19, p. 18-33Chapter in book (Other academic)
    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.

    Mobile phone Orchestra: Novel technology for orchestra performances of contemporary art music in music education2017Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Imagine having orchestra performances of contemporary art music involving whole school classes within the elementary and secondary school music education… Scholars have argued that contemporary art music could serve as a good starting point for discussing and learning basic music theory and the fundamental basics of music. Still, reports reveal that contemporary art music often is neglected in the music education in Sweden. Furthermore, the main activity reported within the Swedish secondary school music education is ensemble playing with traditional instruments as piano, guitar and drums. However, scholars argue that due to the knowledge level demanded to handle the traditional instruments not all of the schoolchildren are able to fully take part in these ensemble lessons. Orchestra2020.com is a web application under development by a team including the author to among other things address these issues. The ambition with the application is to enable schoolchildren regardless their musical knowledge and background to participate in orchestra performances of contemporary art music by using their mobile phones as musical instruments. The application includes a performance mode with three musical instruments and a conductor mode with animated music notation, which give instructions how to perform on the instruments. Animated notation could shortly be described as moving graphics presented on a screen, similar to the performance instructions presented in videogames as Sing Star and Guitar Hero. The development process of the first pilot version of the orchestra2020.com web application has been based on both artistic and educational aims. From the educational point of view the aim is to democratize orchestra performances of contemporary art music in music education, and from the artistic point of view the aim is to develop new artistic possibilities for performances of contemporary art music including electronic sounds. This presentation will present the background, the content and the aims of the orchestra2020.com application. Finally, it will report from a pilot study including workshops and a concert, where a professional chamber ensemble performed together with approximately hundred school children using the orchestra2020 application.

    Mobilephoneorchestra.com2019Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    MobilePhoneOrchestra.com is an online web application developed as a platform to enable performances of fixed polyphonic contemporary art music for mobile phone orchestra. The ambition is to create a new performance paradigm for fixed electronic music in multiple parts to be performed in concert halls as stand-alone electronic orchestral music or in combination with soloists or traditional orchestra settings. The participants of a mobile phone orchestra are using their mobile phones or tablets and are performing on specially developed music instruments provided online on the MobilePhoneOrchestra.com website. Animated music notation gives performance instructions and conducts a performance and are also provided on MobilePhoneOrchestra.com. A mobile phone orchestra should for best performance consist of approximately 20-60 people or more regardless their musical background and age. 60 minutes of rehearsal are needed before a performance.

    Music for piano and remote pen and paper quartet2022Conference paper (Refereed)
    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).

    Music for the mobile phone orchestra, string orchestra and analog synthesizers: An evaluation of a concert hall performance including 15-year-old non musicians as performers2022Conference paper (Refereed)
    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.

    Musical Articulations for Toothbrush Quartet2021In: Articulations. Symposium on Artistic Research: Inkonst, Malmö, 24 -25 November 2021, 2021, p. 42-42Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Musical articulation and more specifically how to musically articulate a sounding event is essential for how an artistic output finally is generated. As we know, musical articulations could be the length of a sound, the shape of its attack and decay, the timbre of a sound and its dynamics and pitch. Accordingly, the articulation of a sound is very essential for the expression generated in a music performance. Professional musicians have gained their knowledge on how to articulate different musical events through years of practice on their traditional music instruments within their specific music genre. Thus, how professional musicians interpret and perform musical articulations is very much dependent on the embodied music performance traditions for the specific music instrument used and the specific music genre being situated within. This Toothbrush quartet performance explores how to use articulations and variate a music material in a performance using an object with no embedded historic tradition of being used as a music instrument. Accordingly, using such an object in a music performance sets a demand on the performer to invent performance techniques to enable different possibilities to articulate the sound material. This performance highlights articulation of a sounding event as an essential parameter for the creation of a dynamic and diverse music material. The performance aims to highlight a discussion around the tradition of articulation in music performance. In particular, ways to think about musical articulations, when using instruments with no embedded music tradition.

    Pen and Paper Quartet2021Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The medium is an extension of human, but every extension is also an amputation, to use Marshall McLuhan´s vocabulary. This online live performance of Pen and Paper Quartet is a part of my ongoing artistic research exploring artistic extensions and amputations embedded in a telematic performance medium. Pen and Paper Quartet is a simulation of a quartet, where a solo musician is performing in real-time, using pen and paper as instruments and interacting with three delayed versions of the same live performance. Delay-chains of audio and video are used as fundamental parameter for the composition, as well as four approaches to work with dynamics in a digitally mediated live music performance.

    Put Your Hands Together for Animated Music Notation!: Music in 24 Individual Parts Performed by Schoolchildren2016Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Put Your Hands Together is a 6-minute composition written in 24 individual parts for handclapping people and electronics, by the author. The Max Maestro - an animated music notation system, which enables non-professional performers including school children to perform complex musical structures with no rehearsal time needed, conducts the performance. The sounds and the animated music notation of the composition are embedded in a single video file available online, to make it suitable for easy use in an educational setting together with schoolchildren. The main aim with Put Your Hands together, from an educational perspective, is to enable schoolchildren to perform and learn about complex musical structures used in contemporary art music, by using new technology. The development process of the Max Maestro – an animated music notation used in the composition is a work in progress, which was started within the artistic research project Voices of Umeå in 2012. The development process was and is based on the artistic ideas, experiences and knowledge from the author as a composer/ researcher, inspiration from animated music notation systems created by other composers/ researchers and analyses of performances and workshop sessions, where the animated music notation system was and is adopted. An action research model in three steps –planning, -action and -analyse of results has primarily been and is further used as a method in the process. This paper aims to; - present the content and ideas of the composition Put your hands together and the background of the Max Maestro –an animated music notation system, and set future visions and ideas related to animated music notation from an educational perspective.

    Artistic research within creative studies2023Collection (editor) (Other academic)
    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.

    Mapping Everyday Objects to Digital Materiality in The Wheel Quintet: Polytempic Music and Participatory Art2016In: 16th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME'16), 2016, p. 84-89Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Digitalization has enabled material decoupling of sound from the physical devices traditionally used to conceive it. This paper reports an artistic exploration of novel mappings between everyday objects and digital sound. The Wheel Quintet – a novel musical instrument comprising four bicycle wheels and a skateboard – was created using off-the-shelf components and visual programming in Max/MSP. The use of everyday objects sought to enable people to quickly master the instrument, regardless of their musical backgrounds, and collectively create polytempic musical textures in a participatory art context. Applying an action research approach, the paper examines in detail two key cycles of planning, action, and analysis related to the instrument, involving an interactive museum exhibition open to the public and a concert hall performance conducted by an animated music notation system. Drawing on insights from the study, the paper contributes new knowledge concerning the creation and use of novel interfaces for music composition and performance enabled by digitalization.

    Challenges in the Development of an Easy-Accessed Mobile Phone Orchestra Platform2021In: WAC Proceedings: 2021, Barcelona, 2021Conference paper (Refereed)
    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.

    The Voice Harvester: An Interactive Installation2013In: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Extended Abstracts, New York, NY: ACM Press, 2013, p. 3003-3006Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The Voice Harvester is an exploratory interactive installation that embodies human voice in physical materials. Sound input is processed, amplified and transmitted through audio drivers connected to a thin, flexible membrane that agitates the material on it. The title “Voice Harvester” is derived from the original design brief, which called for an object able to elicit non-linguistic, expressive, and naturalistic human vocal sounds to explore the full range of capability of the human voice through use of a novel, playful, and embodied interaction. This paper describes the intention, design process, construction, technical details, interaction, and planned/potential uses of this design exploration.

    Abstract [en]

    The Voice Harvester is an exploratory interactive installation that embodies human voice in physical materials. Sound input is amplified and transmitted through audio drivers connected to a thin, flexible membrane that agitates the material on it. The title “Voice Harvester” was derived from the fact that the installation create was able to elicit nonlinguistic, expressive, and naturalistic human vocal sounds to explore the full range of capability of the human voice through use of a novel, playful, and embodied interaction.

    This design exploration took place by a team at Interactive Institute Umeå under the guidance of Artist and Composer Anders Lind. The concepts of human engagement, involvement, and embodiment as well as the creation of a physical tangible thing were central to this design exploration.

    The object elicits curiosity and subsequent interaction utilizing the unusual appearance and leveraging tacit knowledge within users of the purpose of microphones. When a user speaks (or makes any sound) into the microphone they will see the materials in the acrylic tubes animate with the physical embodiment of their voice. The intent was that once this happens users will continue to engage and interact with the Voice Harvester to see the different ways in which they are able to manipulate the materials into action.

    The Voice Harvester is built as part of a series of interactive installations to be shown in Umeå, Sweden as part of the Umeå 2014 Capital of Culture and has already been exhibited at the MADE festival 2013.
