The Garage Tapes
(2023)
author(s): Tor Einar Bekken
published in: Research Catalogue
Exploring the sound of the parking garage in the building where I live, using cheap Casio electric keyboards, low end melodicas and a recorder. All instruments, electronic or not, have been played live in the garage as if they were purely acoustic instruments, making this an artistic exposition exclusively, intended to make people consider and reflect upon what can be done with humble instruments in the right sonic environment.
Videos shot with an iPhone 5. No overdubs, mix, mastering or other tampering with the actual sound.
KEYBOARD MUSICIANSHIP: "Developing a methodology through musical repertoire"

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
The main objective of this research is to investigate how music repertoire can be used as a starting point for developing and broadening keyboard musicianship skills. My assumption is that such an approach would enable the musician to more actively and fluently ‘speak’ the musical language, and to get a more complete understanding and awareness of music itself , expanding flexibility and creativity in music making. Taking the already existing literature and the most recent discoveries and insights about this topic as a starting point, I aim to develop a keyboard methodology, intended for Piano Bachelor and Master students, but with a long-term perspective to expand the method to all instruments and ensembles in chamber music contexts.
