This master thesis is about the production of the record “Brutus” with the band “Trilobit”. Trilobit consists of the three musicians, myself, Stina Hellberg Agback on pedal harp, Simon Svärd on guitar and Karl Jansson on drums.

During the production, I have analyzed different aspects of my own musicality and also the role of the pedal harp in jazz. I have found techniques that have simplified chromatic movements on the pedal harp, and also techniques that has developed the rhythmical aspect of my improvisation.

I have also looked into my process in improvising and composing and developed new aspects, many thanks to the close collaboration with Simon Svärd.
