The purpose of this project has been to explore different methods that would bring melodic quality to melodies, in improvisations as well as compositions. Different standpoints on melody and melodicism, taken by different musical profiles, have been examined and from those standpoints different strategies have been formed. The goal of the project is to find out if skill in melodicism is something that can be gained through practice with concrete methods. The process of forming each method is described and the results of those methods are presented through outtakes from compositions and improvisations that I performed on my exam concert. The strategies that are explored are periodicity and idea development, flow of eight notes and sixteenth notes based on triads, pentatonicism and different forms of phrasing. Conclusion is made that all of the strategies serve their purpose, but it’s still a question if they do so for individual reasons or for the same reason, that all of the strategies simply are different variations of idea development. / <p>Repertoar, samtliga titlar komponerade av Rasmus Hansen:</p><p>Now or never</p><p>Spegel spegel på väggen där, jag har rätt du har fel</p><p>På Mammas fötter, på Pappas axlar</p><p>Cm</p><p>Out for a walk</p><p>Medverkande musiker:</p><p>Rasmus Hansen - Elgitarr</p><p>Linnea Jonsson - trumpet</p><p>Kalle Johansson - piano</p><p>August Eriksson - kontrabas</p><p>Kristian Remnelius - trummor</p>
