Music and Dispersion: Refining habits and structure in music production
2021 (English)Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis [Artistic work]
Abstract [en]

According to previous research musicians are prone to anxiety, introversion, and neuroticism. More so than the general population. This thesis and its methods apply tools and ideas of how to deal with obstacles and failures when working with music production in order to ease anxious states. It uses three steps that together form a state of dispersion, which is the sorting of abstract ideas to defined categories. These are evaluating, standardizing, and cataloguing. Evaluating each project and production whether it should be discarded or not. Standardizing every project within the DAW to look, function, and work the same way, regardless of content. Cataloguing to create channels and destinations for the productions to end up in. There is also deliberate reflecting, which gathers the thoughts from most days of work with each production since the start of the thesis and is answered by the author through qualitative forms with pre-set questions. By using the three steps of evaluating, standardizing, and cataloguing the project results in 47 organized and refurbished productions, where 21 are new productions since the start of the thesis. The thesis draws inspiration from design theory and psychology of creativity. It provides rough tools that are meant to inspire the reader to reflect on their own process and to build their own toolkit of dealing with bad habits and disorder to bring clarity to their creative process.
