Fem och en halv komposition: Skriftlig reflektion inom självständigt, konstnärligt arbete 2019 (Swedish)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis [Artistic work]

Abstract [en]

In this work I have explored different ways of communicating the notated music (even in a more abstract form) to the musicians. How can I develop the aesthetics I am aiming for by using specific techniques in notation. I have also investigated how to incorporate the strengths of each improviser and whether it is possible to use these strengths as a compositional factor

The group consists of a group of seven musicians playing 9 different instruments in total: trumpet, trombone, mellophonium, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, clarinet, bass trombone, double bass and drums. During this project I wanted to make the most of composing and arranging for this particular constellation of instruments and the musicians who plays them.   The music I have written is for the most part influenced by jazz but sometimes bordering to a more classical or orchestral approach.

In this project, I have challenged myself as an instrumentalist and a composer by utilizing a low C-string on the double bass. And while it made some passages more technically difficult to execute on the instrument, it has pushed me forward as a composer in wanting to explore all the different sounds and timbres available. The project resulted in a recording session at Sunnanå Studio, Sweden.
