1	More and More of Less and Less : Ett poemusikaliskt utforskande i text ton och flöde / Skriftlig reflektion inom självständigt, konstnärligt arbete, master, jazz Carlman, Maria January 2018 (has links) Denna text är den skrivna delen av ett kontnärligt masterprojekt vid KMH, Kungliga Musikhögskolan, Stockholm. Arbetets syfte är att utforska perspektiv och ingångar för att främja en kompositionsprocess av text och ton i kreativt flöde och att ringa in dessa i ett slags metod. Perspektiven reorientering, härmning, lek och risk, genererade ur Csikszentmihalyis teorier om förutsättningar för flow-tillstånd, liksom improvisationsteaterns grepp bejakande, tillämpas på komposition och konstnärlig gestaltning. Ett annat mål med projektet är att framhäva texten i musikstyckena genom kompositoriska och gestaltande metoder, och att skapa förutsättningar för musikalisk improvisation som förhåller sig till texternas tema och dramaturgi och förstärker dem. I reflektioner över de konstnärliga resultaten- kompositionerna och deras gestaltning under en konsert- dras slutsatser om hur och när flowtillståndet uppstår och avtar under kompositionsprocesser, om vilka verktyg som kan få det kreativa flödet att återkomma när det upphört, och om vad som krävs för att undvika det absorberande flowtillståndets risker. / This text is the written part of an artistic master’s project at KMH, Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden. The purpose of this work is to explore perspectives and inputs to promote a composition process of text and tone in creative flow and to make them into some kind of method. The perspectives of reorientation, mimicry, play and risk, generated from Csikszentmihalyi's theories about conditions for the rise of flow state, as well as the improvisation theater's affirmative concept of Yes-and…, are applied to musical composition and artistic interpretation. Another objective of the project is to emphasize the role of the text in the pieces of music through compositional and interpretative methods, and to create conditions for musical improvisation that relate to the theme and drama of the texts reinforcing them. In reflections on the artistic results – the compositions and the performance of those in a concert - conclusions are drawn about how and when the flow state arises and decreases in composition processes, and about which tools can bring creative flow back after ceasing and about what is needed to avoid the risks of the absorbent flow state. / <p>Repertoar:</p><p>1.

2	Takt och Otakt Gahrton, Daniel January 2019 (has links) The theme of the song Lonely Woman by Ornette Coleman and the song It’s Halloween by The Shaggs has something in common when it comes to how the different instruments relate rhythmically to each other. I would call it a musical quality that could be described as a feeling of ungraspability. I had this quality in focus during a process of listening to music, writing music and playing music. To describe the cause of this quality I felt the need to define two concepts I named 1) rubato structures; rhythmic structures that aren’t based on, nor establish a steady pulse, and 2) tempo structures; rhythmic structures that are based on and establishes a steady pulse. Throughout the project I identified the cause of the quality, to be combinations of rubato structures and tempo structures, however my understanding developed during the project to a more specific definition which was layers of rubato structures and tempo structures. In the 6 compositions that this project resulted in, I created a number of musical situations with my group, which all had these elements. When listed, these situations rather systematically go through ways of combining structures in regards to different parameters. When listened to, at least for me, several of them give rise to the feeling of ungraspability I had in focus. My attempts to describe and analyze the many inspiring examples stretching from Charles Ives to Swedish contemporary vocal folk music, helped me to develope tools for making music of my own, rather than resulting in some objective truth, or a system for describing and analyzing music that would work objectively. One thing I would consider objectively true, however, is that there are a lot of different ways of creating rhythmic complexity, where some ways are very tedious and difficult for the musicians. With rhythmic layers of rather simple structures, containing rubato structures, I can create rhythmic complexity beyond the quantifiable, just by putting the human impulses in control. Takt in Swedish could mean many things, such as beat, meter, bar, measure. Otakt is often used as a negative word to describe a failed attempt to play in time, but is also linguistically the negation of takt (thus meaning no beat, no meter, no bar, no measure). Takt och (and) Otakt is therefor a play with words, since otakt relates to things in this study that is embraced rather than avoided. / <p>Bilaga: CD</p> rhythm rhythmic layers rubato tempo pulse contrast composition composing quintet ostinato loop structure polyphony autentic ungraspable impulse Ives Shaggs Ornette Coleman rhythmic analyzis composing tools rhythmic complexity organic rhythm composing for improvisors rytmik rytmiska lager rubato tempo puls kontrast komposition komponerande låtskrivande kvintett ostinato loop strukturer polyfoni autentisk ogreppbarhet impulser Ives Shaggs Coleman Ornette rytmisk analys kompositionsverktyg rytmisk komplexitet organisk rytmik komponera för improvisatörer Music Musik
