  Mirror selfies as a phenomenon of contemporary society, identity changes and the interaction of fashion and interior design (2024) author(s): Kristina Zejkanová published in: Research Catalogue
  In my dissertation, I examine the manifestation of identity through material means - interior and clothing - and observe their dialogue in offline and online environments. I explore the occurrence of these spheres on social media, in everyday life and across history. I look for interesting connections in the context of the modern Western society we are part of. The key analysis was carried out by the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, where various artificial intelligence methods looked for visual and conceptual parallels and colour schemes in the so-called mirror seflies, which I consider to be artefacts of contemporary society. The current academic year has been conducted mainly on the theoretical level, while the following year I plan to implement practical outputs that will materialize the data and findings.

• FROM ART TO ECONOMY AND BACK: Initial steps towards the understanding of resonance, affect and love in nomadic systems through the case study of Lisbon Drawing Club (2024) author(s): Lígia Fernandes published in: Research Catalogue
  This research builds on 20 years of combined experience in economics and art, exploring how economic and relational systems shape emotional landscapes. The study investigates the intersection of art and economy through the lens of love, using resonance and affect to understand their relational dynamics. With a focus on nomadic practices exemplified by the Lisbon Drawing Club, the research examines how community-oriented art fosters relational bonds and emotional responses, particularly through drawing sessions. Employing autoethnographic and desire-based approaches, the project integrates mapping, community engagement, and artistic experimentation to deepen insights into art-economy relationships.

• Etableringen av en norsk klavertradisjon: Interpretative trekk ved Edvard Griegs Ballade op. 24, Geirr Tveitts Sonate nr. 29 op. 129 og Fartein Valens Sonate nr. 2 op. 38. (2024) author(s): Einar Røttingen published in: Research Catalogue
  The theme of this dissertation is three important Norwegian piano works. The dissertation includes a main text, a recording and a critical/practical edition of Valen’s Sonata no.2 op.38. By using a musicological/analytical and artistic approach, this dissertation aims to create a greater understanding for these three works as a part of a Norwegian and continental European piano tradition. The main text investigates the contents of the music and how the works are built. It looks at the performance indications in the score and performance practice traditions (historical recordings). References and allusions to other works in the same genres and to similar piano styles are discussed. By looking at possible autobiographical and metaphorical allusions, the dissertation aims at finding an understanding for the works’ origin and meaning. The critical and practical edition contributes for the first time to correct errors and unclear readings of the existing edition and presents a possible realization of Valen’s incomplete score. The main text also includes general criteria for the interpretative choices on the CD. (Norwegian version only, some parts are translated to English as articles)

• Refleksjon over Masterprosjekt Sjel og landskap Formidling av nordisk romanselitteratur gjennom musikk og bevegelse (2024) author(s): Camilla Marie Bjørk Andreassen published in: Research Catalogue
  I mitt masterprosjekt har jeg ønsket å jobbe med formidling av det klassiske nordiske romanserepertoaret på en måte som bryter noe med den tradisjonelle konsertformen, og som kanskje kan bidra til å berøre et bredere publikum med den fantastiske skatten av tekst og musikk som ligger i denne litteraturen. I denne refleksjonen vil jeg skrive litt om utgangspunktet for prosjektet, prosjektets og min egen prosess og utvikling, og hva jeg håper blir veien videre.

  EXPLORING THE ARTISTIC LEGACY OF WILLIAM GILLOCK: JAZZ EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PRACTICES IN THE MODERN ERA (2024) author(s): Angelina Tarlovskaia published in: Research Catalogue
  This paper explores the artistic legacy of William Gillock through a practice-based lens, focusing on his influence on jazz education and contemporary musical practices. As a composer and educator, Gillock’s work has been instrumental in shaping modern jazz pedagogy. The study reflects on my own pedagogical practice and its relationship to Gillock’s methods, examining how his compositional techniques and teaching strategies continue to inform my approach to jazz instruction. By engaging with Gillock’s work in practical contexts, I highlight how his contributions foster the development of technical proficiency and expressive artistry among students. This reflection underscores the enduring relevance of Gillock's innovations, as they continue to inspire and shape the growth of the jazz community today, ensuring that his legacy remains central to the evolution of jazz education and performance.

• Two Bobs and a Steve (2024) author(s): Pavlos Kountouriotis published in: Research Catalogue
  Two men, one score, two saws, one falls. Propelled by their inability to let go, these two men dash to rush with all they have got to grab anything they find that can help them keep on going. This is just another example; an otherwise obsessive, geeky score with the most expected outcome. Immersed within the world of Steve Reich, their goal is to find the human within the mathematical function of the score and to discover the immanent dramaturgies emerging from within this inanimate system.
