In the project Finding a way home, through storytelling, David Lindberg has investigated how storytelling can affect his musical expression. The question focused on a very concrete application of storytelling in improvisation but changed relatively quickly to focus on putting his musical and personal history into focus for the first time in his musical life. Through this changed focus, he could combine this thesis with a first interrupted attempt to do the bachelor thesis at KMH seven years earlier. Lindberg refers to lessons he learned outside the context of KMH in the years between his studies, and reflects on how his musicality has changed and developed through widely differing contexts in which he worked; from entertainment music to pop, rock and jazz, and how storytelling became an important component in defining his musical identity and the experience of having a musical home. The thesis also comment topics such as self-esteem in relation to achievement, and how one’s own music can be overlooked in working with the ambition to please others in diverse contexts, both in education and working life. Musical presentation took place through a concert in the Nathan Milstein Hall and is available to listen to here. The song material consisted solely of Lindberg’s own compositions, and the sheet music is included as an appendix.
