Description of scientific work
Teaching Philosophy - Space and Silence
I deal with thoughts regarding discovering or retrieving "silence" in between two events, words, rhythms, or notes. An empty space, which is not a void, but space filled with expectations. Where there is trust to be able to wait, hesitate, delay and listen, as well as reliance on silence as a field of force of its own. I then proceed with a study of the conditions of different sounding milieus, where an area of reference emerges through dynamical divergences that expose degrees of transparency. By adding and eliminating sounds in an already existing sound milieu, situations with different degrees of more or less silent milieus are exposed. An important focus in this artistic examination is the temporal and spatial pause, whose different forms of appearance in poetry and music respectively (by the notion of intermedia), are put into new light. In the book The Philosophy of Improvisation, Gary Peters calls attention to the silent space as the aesthetic essence that different sounding practices, within the improvising procedure, have to break off. In a poetic context, it is not controversial to state that the way a line of verse creates meaning occurs in between, and accordingly because of, the two pauses, silences, spaces, that surround it, which make it emerge as a specific unit in time and space. The central question examined in my work is how the caesura/line break, which is written into the versified poem as a silent event in time, is affected when integrated in an improvised sounding course of events. And also how a musical, to a great extent improvised, flow of time transforms when integrated with verbal poetic material. In In the Midst of a Sounding Creation – To Compose in Real Time, I illuminate the ever-present questions regarding the conception of time, and the now and the then in the creating process. We are on our way away from something, toward something else, where something extremely crucial happens at precisely that very instant that just was. The method is constantly present – also when we make a presentation through the work, when we explore the mediation as a shaping part of the artistic process.
Space, Directions and the Research Method
I try to build a model of my "playing method", with the help of concept formations related to: the playing space as method and learning.
The research method I apply is strongly integrated with the act of doing – here and now: In what I play. In what I sing and recite. In what I draw and film. In real time. The method is constantly present – also when I make a presentation through my work, when I explore the mediation as a shaping part of the artistic process. What happens to my artistic expression when it takes on the form of a dramatized research performanceŠ Do I find something of value or do I just create dead ends in my practiceŠ Do I dare to carry out these lines of thought all the way, and actually articulate a new, characteristic way of expressionŠ The field I find myself in is the subjective doing, in music, image, and text. The doing forms new meanings when I, seamlessly searching, move through these three different expressions of art. With my research method I want to avoid positioning myself in a field characterized by predetermined points of reference. I have chosen not to make a distinction between improvisation and composition, but regard them as two, inter-dependent, sides in the seamless searching. It is precisely on the way through music, image and text something becomes visible to me. The method allows me to be and act in a context new to me: A research field to play in. On. In front of. Behind. The research method is a process that results in the work On the inside of silence. This is the kind of research I want to develop together with other artists and art forms, where the artist’s individual process is central. Here and now.

Communication
På insidan av tystnaden – olika former av soniska och prosodiska händelseförlopp (On the Inside of Silence – Different Forms of Sonic and Prosodic Courses of Events) contains a number of essays and sonic image stories. The sounding image process that becomes a link to the narrative text. Through the use of sound, text and image, and all their mixed forms, and drawing from my experiences as musician and composer, I will, together with you as listener and reader, find a number of passable ways. Through a triptych consisting of an audio box,a book (complete with slide show) and a website I hope it will be possible for you to follow this twisty way toward something.
Summary
The act of doing – here and now. A research field to play in. The room becomes a co-player, which I can go against or along with. This social responsitivity is absolutely necessary. The same goes for an artistic research milieu. It is in between two events we can grasp tension and attitudes among individuals – and the connection to the spatial. Instrumentation. Placement. Form. Rhythmics. The method is constantly present – also when we make a presentation through the work, when we explore the mediation as a shaping part of the artistic process. What happens in a space when we play togetherŠ What happens to us as individuals, when we put ourselves in relation to a text in this space when we playŠ ;What happens to our artistic expression when it takes on the form of a dramatized research performanceŠ
Keywords: responsitivity, direction, the way of playing, character of a room, dialogue, participation.
