HUMANE STRINGS : Composition for a string quartet and a jazz quartet combined (English)
Abstract [en]
I have in this thesis composed music for a concert using a string quartet and a jazz quartet combined, which for me is an entirely new group of instruments put together. This thesis follows my process writing the compositions from the beginning until the end. The purpose of the thesis has been to explore how to integrate a string quartet and a jazz quartet combined in my compositions. I have, while composing, examined how the double bass relates to the instrumentation and how the bass could be used in melodies, voicings and bass lines. The goal has also been to perform these compositions during my graduation concert.
In the thesis I describe the different methods I have used to fulfil the purpose; “learning-by-doing”, inspirations and interviews, and I tell the reader about the experiences made and the knowledge I have acquired by using these. Furthermore, I give an account of the concert-material made and explain how I merged the instruments together in the compositions. Towards the end of my thesis, I share the insights and understandings that has arisen along the composing process. I ascertain that I by doing the project have developed as a composer as well as a double bass player.
This thesis could be interesting for anyone who is involved or interested in music, composing, double bass or the creative process.

Konserten tog plats den 2 mars på Kungliga Musikhögskolan i Stockholm. Vi var en ensemble på åtta personer och musiken jag hade skrivit till den här konserten fokuserade på att interagera jazzkvartett och stråkkvartett. Temat på konserten var "Humane Strings" och ordet Humane betyder några av de fina egenskaper vi människor har. Så som; att vara medkännande, vänlig, godhjärtad, generös och att vara öppenhjärtad. Så ofta glömmer vi bort våra vackra egenskaper och vi tänker för mycket på de negativa karaktärsdragen vi har. Min idé var att om vi kunde förtstärka våra goda egenskaper så kanske världen skulle vara en bättre plats. Detta tema försökte jag gestalta i musiken skriven för konserten.
