Wahls Trio

This paper’s main purpose is to describe the process of using your own band as an experimental workshop. The paper explores the various different steps of composing and also describes how the process can be different from time to time. The impact of role models is analyzed and used as a point of discussion, by comparing them to each other and finding the uniqueness of each band. By using the analysis of role models there are possibilities to explore ways of mimicking soundscapes and musical conditions. This way you can find paths to transfer them to one’s own band.The paper brings up questions about what energy is and what it means in a musical context. It also covers what it is like to record jazz music in a studio environment and how different ways of recording can affect the music and the musicians. In the concluding reflections the role as a drummer is analyzed in relation to the comfort level in different musical situations.The paper concludes in reflections on the learnings from the whole musical process that finalizes in the exam concert.
