  The voice and the machine- and the voice in the machine - now you see me, now you don’t- (2015) author(s): Tone Åse connected to: Norwegian University of Science and Technology published in: Norwegian Artistic Research Programme
  The basic focus of this project is how the use of live electronics can open up new musical possibilities and roles for the improvising vocalist in the musical interplay. The project is rooted in my background as a vocalist taking part in what could be called the Modern European Jazz Scene, and the musicians I have been cooperating with in this project are all important contributors in this musical field. The project has been carried out as an artistic research, where the artistic result has been presented in the form of recorded music and concerts. Recordings of the music are also presented as sound examples in this critical reflection. The main focus areas in this artistic research project are the following: • I have explored how the use of live electronic processing can open up for new musical parameters, compared to the sole acoustic voice as instrument in music. These new possibilities are related to the experience of how electronic processing can create distance from and transformation of the natural voice sound. • Furthermore, I have investigated how the use of these parameters can create new roles for the vocalist in the improvised interplay of my genre. • As a part of my project I have also explored how an audio tracking system created for the theatre scene can be used as a live electronic tool for an a capella ensemble, and contribute to new strategies in the improvised performance. • In another part of my research I have studied artistic possibilities through implementing the role of the storyteller in a musical performance with vocal and live electronics. I have wanted to find out more about how this implementation affects the relationship between performer and audience, and the perception of the performance as a whole. This part of my project has been carried out as a solo performance, in research collaboration with musicologist Andreas Bergsland. The research is using audience feedback, both to feed the artistic process, and to generate new knowledge about the perception of the performance.

  T-EMP Communication and interplay in an electronically based ensemble (last edited: 2022) author(s): Øyvind Brandtsegg, Andreas Bergsland, Carl Haakon Waadeland, Sigurd Saue, Trond Engum, Bernt Isak Wærstad, Tone Åse connected to: Norwegian University of Science and Technology This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  Communication and interplay in an electronically based ensemble. The basic aim of this project is to focus on challenges related to improvised performance of electroacoustic music. The artistic core of the project is to develop musical interaction in a larger ensemble, where the membership is mainly based on electronic and digital instruments. New modes of interaction are enabled by using audio processing as a musical instrument, where the sound from an acoustic musician is being processed live by another ("processor") musician.

  Eastern Rebellion - with gamelan as inspiration for new musical expressions (last edited: 2021) author(s): EAA This exposition is in review and its share status is: visible to all.
  This exposition contains the documentation of Espen Aalberg´s artistic research project “Eastern Rebellion - with gamelan as inspiration for new musical expressions" "Eastern Rebellion - with gamelan as inspiration for new musical expressions" is focusing on a meeting point where Aalberg, as a musician and composer, has searched for inspiration in gamelan music, instruments, and concepts. Aalberg has a broad practice as a performer and composer/music creator with a professional career in both jazz and classical-contemporary direction. This experience, in collaboration with inspiration and instruments from gamelan, will be illuminated in different musical expressions and contexts.
