The aim of the project is to explore multidimentional, amorphous and vague expressions arising when many musical parameters are given more independent roles than in traditional musical Ă©criture. Approaches are melodics and morphing in extended definitions, used in ways questioning sound identities and exploring transitional zones between everyday sound and instrumental sound.

Although it is one of the oldest crafts in musical arts, the art of percussion playing has expanded immensely just within the last 50 years. Alongside the developments and searches for new sounds in Western art music, the role of the percussionist has come to include far more than merely hitting objects.

The ever increasing proliferation of media generated through the collective use of mapping and image-making platforms, like YouTube and Google Earth, are creating new ways of seeing and exploring the world. "Future Guides for Cities through Collective Mapping and Citizen-produced Media" proposes to artistically investigate the new reality created by the integrations of digital networks and the city, where place constitutes media and media constitutes place.

The aim of this project is to make a personal synthesis based on a fusion of three different musical traditions: Norwegian traditional folk music, the traditional music of Mali and Senegambia in West-Africa, and the traditional blues of the Missisippi delta in the USA. Furthermore the goal is that this synthesis will make new premises for the performance of the bassguitar.

Read more...Geir Harald Samuelsen: Images of Gravity
The objective of the project is to produce pictures and texts that establish a new and hybrid field of study, based on the research fellow's experiences both as an artist and a climber. In other words, the project examines climbing and art as two overlapping experiences.
Read more...Siri Hermansen: Tipping Point
The aim of the Tipping Point project is to examine - through artistic practice – contemporary modes of adaptation and consequences generated by political, cultural and economic processes of change. The research project seeks to investigate the artistic potential that lies in the dilemma between wanted and unwanted changing processes in society.
Read more...Ane Hjort Guttu: Art and Freedom
After studying selected texts on political theory and examining various political strategies used within artistic practice throughout history, I have come to the conclusion that the theme of my fellowship project should be narrowed down, from a general investigation of the notion of political art, to a focused enquiry on emancipation and its connection to artistic practices.

Through this project Sunniwa Rødland WettreI wishes to broaden the position of the harp as a contemporary instrument in Norway. The goal is firstly to initiate artistic explorations of the harp among composers and to contribute to a further development of the artistic range of the instrument. Secondly, the goal is to increase her own and other harpists awareness and knowledge, both when studying contemporary harp-music as well as when communicating the characteristics of the harp to composers.
Read more...Siri Senje: Imagining for the screen, the original screenplay as poiesis
The project IMAGINING FOR THE SCREEN focuses on cinematic fiction writing as an artistic genre. Can certain original works of fiction for the screen be autonomous works of poiesis – or creation – on the same level as, for example, a stage play?
Read more...Annabel Balean Guaita: The Atonal Piano
There has been written a lot about Fartein Valen as a composer and musical analysis of his works do exist. But there has been very little focus on the performance, despite his position as one of our most important modernists. Valens “atonal” musical language can also seem difficult to understand, both for musicians as well as for listeners. In this project Annabel Guaita will do a performative analysis of the piano music by Fartein Valen inspired by the performance practices of The Second Viennese School.
Read more...Tone Åse: The voice and the machine - and the voice in the machine (- now you see me, now you don’t)
In this project I will explore new possibilities and roles as an improvising vocalist. I will do this working with both electronic processing of voice sound and acoustic voice sound in improvised interplay. Further, I will explore artistic possibilities for the vocalist in the continuum ranging from narrative speech to ”pure” processed sound, within the same performance/form.
Read more...Natalia Strelchenko: Klaverteknikk og stil i historisk perspektiv
I klaverteknikken fins det grunleggende elementer som har skapt de samme problemstillingene. De går igjen i musikken i de fleste perioder men med ulik vektlegging og løsninger. Disse elementene er; fingersetning og fingerøvelsemetoder, håndens posisjon, akkorder og oktavteknikk, dobbeltnoter, sprangteknikk, og anslag og måten man utfører klang på. Disse sentrale tekniske elementene realiseres på ulike måter avhengig av stedlige tradisjoner og skiftende tiders idealer.
Read more...Marianne Heier: Ex-sentrisk
Prosjektets målsetting er en diskusjon av kunstens muligheter til å fungere som sentralt element og premissleverandør i samfunnet. Jeg baserer arbeidet på min egen kunstneriske erfaring fra de senere årene, samt på en serie nyproduserte intervensjoner i institusjoner i og utenfor kunstfeltet. Gjennom intervensjonene ønsker jeg å belyse og alterere hierarkiske forhold representert og opprettholdt gjennom rommene jeg velger ut.

Patrik Entian er opptatt av hvordan ny mening oppstår når man bruker maleri for å undersøke hvordan verden ser ut. Intensjonen er å utvikle malerier som undersøker spenningen mellom hva vi ser og hva vi tenker.
Read more...Victoria Johnson: Elektrisk fiolin i det digitale rom
Jeg vil i dette prosjektet forske pĂĄ ĂĄ utvide den elektrisk fiolinen ved hjelp av computer, ulike dataprogrammer og sensorteknologi, slik at instrumentet kan styre lyd og video. I dette arbeidet vil jeg bruke programmer som Live og Max/mMSP/Jitter som kan behandle lyd og bilde i sanntid. Til denne forskningen har jeg valgt elektrisk fiolin som har mye til felles med elgitar. Instrumentet har ingen egenlyd, og mĂĄ forsterkes.

The case study deals with the production of the Paduan violinist Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) and his highly personal and eccentric style of improvisation, which has been thoroughly documented through a substancial number of handwritten manuscripts, contemporary printed editions and Tartini’s own theoretical guidelines.

Through my background as a guitarist in an experimental metal band I have experienced a vast development in music technology during the last 20 years. This development has made a great impact in increasing the efficiency attached to procedures for composing and producing music within my genre without necessarily changing the strategies of how the technology is used.

This dual role will be explored and discussed as part of the study.
