Abstract [en]
In this thesis I’ve explored my voice as an instrument in the big band’s different sections. Through many years I’ve experienced that I lack tools around how to approach singing in big bands. I often ask myself if my voice stands out in the soundscape or if it’s blending and becomes a part of the sections in the big band. The goal in this thesis is to understand how and in which way I can compose and perform my music to blend with the band. To investigate this, I’ve chosen to do a specific form of voice mapping in which I’ll locate options of vocal techniques and music parameters that later will become tools for singing with big band. I’ve put together a big band of my own and composed five pieces of music in which I’ll perform on my graduation concert. My result show that it comes down to the choice of vowels, airflow, vocal register and the art of being consistent. In the end of the report, I’ll discuss future improvements and things to take in consideration.
