NORM-CRITIQUE IN PRACTICE: HAPTIC AND TACTILE DESIGN METHODS IN THE NOTION OF CARE
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Nordes design conference, Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We invite participants to this workshop with the purpose to explore participatory processes based on tactile and haptic methods within the framework of norm-critical methodology. The workshop is based on cases from the project ‘Tink – Idea development for available and inclusive open stormwater solutions`. Innovation- driven projects in urban planning are often based on technical aspects and deviate from social values. Through a norm-critical methodology, we argue that technical innovation needs to include social values based on intersectional analysis. Firstly, in the project Tink, that means that we work together across disciplines and focus areas, in an interdisciplinary environment with disability activists, researchers, practitioners, and municipal officials. Secondly, we state that norm critical methodology includes design processes based on inclusive methods in the notion of care, engagement and social inclusion. In a workshop environment, this means creating settings for people with different experiences and abilities.

Norm Form
- 2017
-
Ingår i: 6 Okt 2017 – 11 Feb 2018, ArkDes, Stockholm, Sweden.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Norm Form är en utställning om design som sätter sig på tvären och utmanar det som anses vara normalt. Denna banbrytande utställning innehåller verk av ett femtiotal formgivare som avslöjar de dolda budskap som föremål omkring oss förmedlar och ger dig verktyg för att undergräva dem. Utställningen är en spegling av en stark rörelse bland formgivare att arbeta normutmanande, en rörelse som har rötter i kritisk design och aktivism.

Album Freedom of Movement - Oh Yeah Orchestra
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Album release 22 October 2011 (Imogena Records).
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- "Freedom of Movement" is to a large extent the music that Martina Almgren was commissioned to write for her tentet Oh Yeah Orchestra at the opening concert at Swedish Jazz Celebration in Gothenburg 2009. The original suite has here been supplemented with five parts. There’s a sort of red thread that makes me associate to different kinds of movement. The rhythmic is consistently the hub and characteristic of the music, it is heard in drum and percussion playing and permeates compositions and instrumentation and voices. The album was recorded and mixed by sound engineer Åke Linton together with Owe and Martina Almgren in Bohus Sound Recordings. Lisen Rylander Löve -Soprano and Tenor Saxophone, Björn Almgren - Soprano and Tenor Saxophone, Karin Burman - Voice. Magnus Broo - Trumpet, Niclas Rydh - Trombone and Tuba, Petra Lundin - Cello, Tommy Kotter . Piano, Owe Almgren - Electric Bass, Ebba Westerberg - Percussion and Berimbau, Martina Almgren - Drums, Sizzleboard and Hang, "To think like a drummer has its advantages. Martina’s melody lines are as infectious as her rhythms are enticing. Sometimes it sounds deceptively easy, like it can look easy when circus artists do their tricks." Lars-Göran Ulander director for Swedish Jazz Radio P2.

Bingo - Martina Almgren Quartet, album och pulsslagsturné
- 2005
-
Ingår i: Album release 7 November 2005 + Pulsslagsturné nov 2005.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den innehåller 9 nya kompositioner av Martina Almgren. Alltifrån sjutaktaren Bingo via en hyllning till Jim Pepper. Klanger från nya instrumentet "das Hang" i Den Sällsamma till The Saddest Song of Them All. Sista spåret är en cover. Good Bait i en stilla, lite spökig version. Extra krydda får skivan av saxofonisten/mångsysslaren Thomas Jäderlunds fria associationer till musiken. Läs hans "linernotes" på skivomslagets insida! Bingo är inspelad och mixad i studio Bohus i nära samarbete med Åke Linton under några intensiva försommardagar. I november gjorde Martina Almgren Quartet en riksomfattande Pulsslagsturné med start i Malmö den 3 november och slutkonsert i Ljusdal den 19 november. Däremellan gästade gruppen bla Piteå och Umeå, där radio P2 spelade in konserten. Almgren declares that she wants to combine strong rhythms with expressive melodies. With her quartet of sensitive musicians, she achieves that goal in a bubbling lyrical mood. Yet even when the group pushes the intensity, the marriage of beat and melody are never far off." /All About Jazz Pulsslagsturné 5-19 November, Svenska Jazzriksförbundet. Fonogramstöd från kulturrådet.

Duality - Martina Almgren & Owe Almgren
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Album release 17 March 2023 (Oh Yeah Records). Release concert 18 March at No1 Guitarshop, Gothenburg.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Electric bass and hand drums in an exuberant interplay - big music in a small format! Long-standing rhythm section Owe and Martina Almgren step forward in a newly formed duo. With a variety in musical expressions and arrangements they interpret jazz standards and play their own material in a most personal way. Contrast-rich, cohesive, playful and independent music. As a tribute to life! Duality is a collaboration between Martina Almgren and Owe Almgren. The aim is to explore interplay in duo format, to highlight the instruments bass and drums, which are often in the background in larger ensembles. To seek possibilities for an intimate interaction. To shape an independent and varied expression with a focus on rhythms and groove, but also moods of sincerity and depth. Create variety through changing playing styles, arrangements and soundscapes, to give each piece its own unique character to become an exciting whole. The music – jazz standards and original compositions by Martina and Owe – was recorded in the studio as a live performance, no extras. The music must also be able to be played at concerts in the same duo format. In collaboration with sound engineer Åke Linton, we shaped different soundscapes in the headphones already in the recording situation, which gave us as musicians impulses for new expressions and interactions and led the pieces to different characters. For me, who mostly plays the drum kit, playing with my hands on the drums is a tactile experience where I get close to the dynamics, can react quickly with small shifts, experience the sounds gain body and contour in a new way and become a good complement to playing drum set. Owe Almgren – electric bass, composition and musical arrangements. Martina Almgren – hand drums, cymbals, composition and musical arrangements. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Åke Linton at Studio Tonkontrol 2022/2023. Oh Yeah Records www.ohyeahrecords.com. With support from the Swedish Arts Council. “Duality extracts the essence from melodies. Shining examples of the approach can be heard on the interpretation of “So What” together with the opening lyrical jewel “Desmond/Tsunami”. Owe works in parallel with accompaniment and melody voice... phenomenal playing. Martina appears in full figure in rhythmic fireworks. In “I Mean You”, signed by Monk, both musicians excel. Outstanding dynamics!” OJ #2 2023
