Isbrytare och kluster inom det svenska musikundret
- 2021
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Inom vårt pågående projekt Searching for Sophia in Music Production utforskas faktorer som varit av stor betydelse för det svenska musikundret. I detta sammanhang åsyftas att identifiera viktiga aktörer inom olika genrer som banat väg för svenska internationella musikframgångar. En hypotes vi arbetar med är att ett fåtal mindre ”kluster” centrerade kring skivbolag med några enstaka personer som agerat som ”isbrytare” varit av stor betydelse. Här exemplifieras ett urval musikaliska isbrytare och kluster som framgångsrikt men på olika sätt bidragit till det svenska musikundret: Stig ”Stikkan” Anderson och Polar Music International AB, Bert Karlsson och Mariann Records, Ola Håkansson med Sonet och Ten Music Group, Robert von Bahr med BIS Records, Per-Olof ”Pelle” Karlsson och Prim Records samt Dag Volle ”Denniz PoP” med Cheiron Studios. Studien bygger metodologiskt på litteraturstudier och inventering av källmaterial samt intervjuer med nyckelpersoner inom svenskt musikliv. Teoretiska perspektiv inkluderar Jennifer Lena och Richard Petersons (2008) modell för genrers livscykler med skapelse, utveckling, konservering och stagnation, Paul Thompsons modell för kreativitet vid skivproduktion (2019) och Mats Trondmans teorier om folkliga musikaliska uttryck (1999). Dessutom används i analysen även teorier inom motivationsforskning (Deci & Ryan, 2000) och entreprenörsforskning med relevans för musik och musikbranschutveckling (Tschmuck, 2006; Östman 2018). Resultat och slutsatser Vår analys visar tydligt att enskilda teorier inte kan förklara alla väsentliga delar i det svenska musikundret. Det behövs därför en kombination av flera teorier och förklaringsmodeller. I vår panel diskuteras kärnfrågor kring just detta.

A Ten-Step Art-Based Program to Mitigate Exhaustion among Students and Teachers—What Would Our Ancestors Say?
- 2023
-
In: Creative Education. - 2151-4755 .- 2151-4771. ; 14:8
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is robust evidence that the arts can be used to support mental health and well-being. However, there has been little exploration of the history of these types of activities. We believe it is meaningful to examine history to learn how best to manage and support those suffering from poor mental and physical health today. A clinically tested 10-step art-based program for ex- hausted students and patients has been developed over the course of twenty years of clinical practice and was created through a “learning by doing” con- cept, in which embodied knowledge was gained by participants undertaking “guided” bodily experiences. We found that the program led to an increase in conscious awareness of well-being among students and teachers. This article discusses the variation of the original program, adjusted to fit the needs of students and teachers in higher academic programs today. We also construct a bridge between past and present, by conducting a historical literature review. By doing this, we bring to light knowledge that our ancestors held about the signs and signals that we today could interpret as indicators of stress.

Developing a Sustainable and Healthy Working Life with the Arts: The HeArtS Programme—A Research Dialogue with Creative Students
- 2022
-
In: Creative Education. - 2151-4755 .- 2151-4771. ; 13
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There are few studies on how to use art to prepare students, through higher education, to lead a sustainable and healthy working life. In order to enhance and develop the learning environments regarding creativity and health in higher academic education curricula, more studies are needed. Studies link- ing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the agenda 2030 into higher education practice are also few. The aim of this study is to gather information from creative music students to be able to build an educational platform for “arts & health” that facilitates a sustainable future working life for students. The results from two focus group interviews were used to develop an interview guide for five following in-depth individual in- terviews. The analytical lens that was used to conduct the interviews was based on a phenomenological hermeneutic method. The complete interpre- tation of the study is: “Educating meaning instead of perfection—Building a Health-Arts-Sustainability (HeArtS) platform”. According to our results, mean- ing is not created by doing things that you are good at. The students want a curriculum where the focus is on challenges; skills that you are not good at and therefore need stimulating. The students want more collective self-aware- ness and body awareness training and sharing in their curricula. The results strongly imply that art-based curricula or the art intervention programs in- creasingly practiced in academia can be effective for enhancing workplace creativity and sustainable health in working life. Therefore, we suggest that higher educational programs should employ more art-related creativity train- ing programs in the future.

Knowledge concerts can facilitate emotionally sensitive embodied learning
- 2020
-
In: Research Studies in Music Education. - 1321-103X .- 1834-5530.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Listening to music can facilitate improvement of cognitive skills and emotional intelligence, which are key antecedents of learning. Music listening can also improve auditory perception and memory. Adjacent to a concert of music evoking strong emotions, the audience was asked to complete a Visual Analogue Scale (10-cm) before and after listening to the concert, along five variables Arousal, Joy, Degree of upset, Daily worries and Benevolence. Changes in the responses to these scales were subject to analysis.Statistically significant changes were observed in the outcome measures of arousal (p=0.005), daily worries (p<0.001), degree of upset (p=0.048) and joy (p<0.001) but were not found for benevolence (p=0.93) in 228 concert attendees who completed the questionnaires. Age, gender and previous music experiences did not make a difference to perception of the music.Attending a music concert with sensitive, emotionally charged topics significantly contributed to stimulating emotional interpretation, which was used as preparation for a reflective participation in subsequent satellite seminars.

Lessons Used for Millennia Must Not Be Lost—Adding Values to Higher Educational Programs through Arts and Aesthetics: A Literature Study
- 2023
-
In: Advances in Historical Studies. - 2327-0438 .- 2327-0446.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Through a historical perspective, the overall aim with this study is to deepen the understanding of arts and aesthetics, in relation to health, for the benefi- cial use in higher education programs. Since prehistoric time, mankind has been using different art forms for health reasons. Artwork created by a society is a product of the culture that prevails within that society. Aesthetics is con- nected to art, and it spans over a wider field than just art. This literature re- view study brings different historical views on arts, aesthetics, and creativity. The human need for art, music and health is essentially the same through the ages. By bringing in a historical perspective on the healing powers of art and aesthetics we can be better equipped to reintroduce arts in higher education also as a healthy factor. We need to understand our history to be able to create an understanding of the healthy meaning of art for future higher edu- cation students. Lessons that have been used for millennia must not be lost.

In: Music Education and Prevention.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Listening to music – various audiences in our future societiesEva Bojner Horwitz and David Thyrén, Royal College of Music in StockholmThat music listening can have strong emotional effects is widely accepted, and it is also known that the effects depend on several individual and environmental factors. There are different elements of the musical experience that influence the emotional response of the listener, of which we will try to focus on four that have been explored in the literature and which relate to a newly published study. The social changes in our societies will affect our audiences and education. Therefore new musical arenas need to be developed and more included through the whole lifespan.

Music as health prevention – implementation of different work packages in health care systems : Disabilities throughout history
- 2019
-
In: Music and Prevention.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Inspired by the research work with the "Culture Palette" and the implementation of it in health care centres, schools and social centers, we developed the cultural health box - a popular scientifically tool box, to help people use cultural activities (such as music, dance, stillness, drama, film and pictures) for health preventation. It is written by well-known resarchers in the field of cultural health and is a rich material that is useful in self-care work for musicians. The box will be presented together with historical perspectives and other research work targeting music as prevention in health care.

Prelude before Nobel 2019Preludium inför Nobel 2019 : The meaning of Art in Science Konstens betydelse för vetenskapen
- 2019
-
Artistic work (film/video) (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hugo Theorell var den enda nobelpristagaren i medicin och fysiologi 1955. Han var biokemist och hans forskning handlade om hur syret transporteras från lungorna till cellerna. Men egentligen hade han tänkt bli violinist efter att under barndomen och gymnasietiden ha satsat stenhårt på fiolspelet och då och då rest för att ta lektioner i Stockholm (han bodde i Linköping) för Charles Barkel och Sven Kjellström. Istället började han läsa medicin och hamnade i biokemilaboratoriet. Men han förblev fiolen trogen under hela livet. Han var en passionerad kammarmusiker, bl.a. i Mazerska kvartettsällskapet som ordförande under många år och som medlem i Kungliga Musikaliska Akademien var han också en viktig aktör i Stockholms musikliv.Vid tre års ålder drabbades Hugo av polio och hade under hela livet svårigheter att gå. Ett av hans barn dog av tuberkulos. Hur musiken var insnärjd i hans levnads- och forskarhistoria och vilken roll det intensiva engagemanget för musiken kan ha spelat för hans utveckling som vetenskapsman kommer att diskuteras med referenser till den senaste vetenskapen. Föredraget kommer att framföras av Hugo Theorells son Töres Theorell, forskare vid Karolinska Institutet samt vid Kungl. Musikhögskolan i Stockholm. Tillsammans med kollegor och studenter på KMH kommer föredraget att interfolieras med musikinslag som har anknytning till Hugo Theorells liv.
