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 …

Making Music, Finishing Music – An Inquiry Into the Music-Making Practice of Popular Electronic Music Students in the “Laptop-Era”

2020

In this study we seek to present a description of how bachelor and masters students in popular electronic music experience making original music in their chosen Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). The chapter focuses on how the participants understand their role while making music afforded by the DAW environment, their strategies for getting started when making music, and the challenges they experience when finishing music. In the study we interviewed six students at bachelor and masters level. We see a tendency in how participants attribute the technical component of music making as the defining aspect of the producer role. The respondents seem to understand themselves as primarily producers …

Developing Practices and Approaches to Electronic Popular Music in Education

2023

Paper III and paper IV are excluded from the dissertation until they are published. The field of electronic popular music education is a relative newcomer compared to most other educational fields within the arts, and the relationships between educational purposes, between the teacher and the students, and between technology and musical parameters are not as established as they are elsewhere. Through the four articles constituting this thesis, various ways of teaching electronic popular music are explored, all of which emphasize to some degree these relationships. In Article 1, I make broad discussions using continental educational theory—in particular, the work of Biesta—to generate pertin…

Immersed in Pop!: Excursions into Compositional Design

2021

Recent changes in consumer audio and music technology and distribution - for example the addition of 3D audio formats such as Dolby Atmos to music streaming services, the recent release of “Spatial Audio” on Apple and Beats products, the proliferation of musical content in virtual reality and 360º videos, etc. - have reignited a public discourse on concepts of immersion and interactivity in popular music and media. This raises questions and necessitates a deepening of popular musicological discourse in these areas. This thesis thus asks: what is the relationship between so-called immersive media and immersive experience? How are immersive and interactive experiences of audiovisual popular m…

Dreyer is an experienced session guitarist now exploring creating his own music using technology. He has participated in more than 160 released albums, and toured with numerous Norwegian and international a…

Teaching Aesthetics – A Case Study of One-To-One Tuition in Popular Electronic Music in Higher Education

2020

Research regarding informal learning over the last few decades has shown how popular musicians acquire skills and knowledge through informal learning, suggesting new methods for formal music education compared to the structures of western classical music. Today, the realm of popular electronic music education faces some similar challenges that popular music education initially did; new ways of informal learning, and a different and diverse knowledge base for the students entering popular music programs. Related to these challenges is the question of how to teach one-to-one tuition in higher electronic music education, and this article seeks to address this challenge. We present a case-study…
