Music in International Development : The Experience of Concerts Norway (2000–2018)

2020

Paper I and Paper III is excluded from the dissertation with respect to copyright. Paper I will be available from 19/11/2021. Paper III will be available from 13/05/2022. This article-based doctoral thesis contributes to the multifaceted debate concerning the role of music in “development.” By development, I refer to the international aid sector and the deliberate actions of states and/or development agencies to promote equity between various localities and between social groups or classes in the Global South, previously referred to as developing or third world countries. Development studies is an academic field of its own, but it is interdisciplinary in nature, due to heterogenous understa…

RETUNE – A toolbox for composing based on Hardanger fiddle music from Setesdal

2020

Signature characteristics in music can inform our sense of a genre or repertoire or style’s particular processes and serve as tools for composing more of it. This combined scientific and artistic study of popular music performance explores how Hardanger fiddle characteristics based on the tradition from Setesdal can be described as compositional tools. Through music analysis and an investigation of compositional processes, the study uncovers and articulates often tacit insider knowledge of the primarily orally transmitted practice of the Hardanger fiddle. In terms of rhythm, the study analyses the foot stomp and its bowing; in terms of melodic structure, the study looks at the little-resear…

"Det er jo viktig, men ikke lett å få til" - En undersøkelse av sangens plass i grunnskolen.

2022

The purpose of the article is to examine singing in Norwegian primary schools. Through a schematic overview of the singing activity at ten schools in Agder and qualitative interviews with teachers and school management, we focus on the following question: How is singing used in today’s schools, and what are the teachers’ arguments for implementing or not implementing singing activities? As a theoretical framework, we present singing in educational contexts in Norway from a historical and contemporary perspective and present relevant theories related to the concepts of “formation” and “community music”. The results show that singing activity varies from school to school, decreasing when stud…

Nesten alene: Artisten, økonomien og bransjen

2022

This chapter explores the framework conditions under which Norwegian artists and managers work and discusses them against a backdrop of established theories on the effects of digitalization. The author’s ambition is to expand our understanding of how the current business of music works by focusing on the people who work with it. The chapter draws on a series of interviews with ten Norwegian artists and managers conducted during the winter of 2019/2020. Building on these interviews, this chapter argues that while digitalization certainly has offered artists and managers a range of possibilities, many of the ways they work are variations on traditional structures and models. A key finding in …

Hva settes i spill når ledere i kulturskolen planlegger elevenes timeplaner? Om en rhizomatisk forståelse av organisasjonen kulturskole og hvordan en…

2021

This article presents a study that has examined the factors that come into play when “kulturskolen” sets its timetable for teaching. The findings indicate that kulturskolen must relate to internal considerations such as aspects concerning cooperation on pupils, teachers, localities and locations, but also external considerations such as political documents and interpretation of the Norwegian Education Act. To discuss the complexity that emerges in the analyzes, we look at the data material in the light of the philosophers Deleuze and Guattari (1988) and Rosi Braidotti (2013). We argue that the complexity taken into account when scheduling timetables is describing a certain understanding of …
