Abstract [en]

Within artistic research, we try out and formulate new methods for artistic practice. But how do we, in the best way, disseminate those? How do we present artistic methods for musical creation? Visually? Through objects? Through narrative? With word as a text? Through the” act of singing”? These are intriguing questions; even if the research thrives in the artistic practice, we still want to disseminate our findings broadly so that other artists and interested parties can use and build knowledge on that. 

This presentation will give examples of how to answer those questions by presenting findings from the project Folk Song Lab (supported by The Swedish Research Council 2019-2022), where, through collective improvisation, different artistic methods have been carved out and tested. Through art practice, the project has developed methods of singing from the perspective of flow parameters (Csikszentmihalyi) and ‘System 1’ (Kahneman). With a foundation from traditional singing and its stylistic and musical structure, a framework for creating anew has been formulated: a place, a time, and collective improvisation has been performed in a real-life performance. These findings and the different ways of disseminating them could be interesting not only within the field of folk singing or music but also be useful and give perspective in other genres and art forms.
