Jag har undersökt sätt att integrera ett mer rytmiskt fokus i min improvisation som kontrabasist, och hur det rytmiska fokuset påverkat min improvisation. Jag har jämfört inspelningar och transkribtioner från innan och efter jag började applicera mer rytmik i mina soloinsatser, med målet att hitta skillnader mellan de två och se huruvida de skillnaderna är positiva eller inte. Som forskningsbakgrund har jag tittat på vilken roll kontrabasen har i ensemblen historiskt och hur den interagerat med resten av gruppen. Slutligen har jag också undersökt på vilka olika sätt den rollen har fyllts, och hur de i sin tur utvecklats genom åren.
