• How can elements of raga music influence a signature sound? (2023) author(s): Harsha Jerome Senaviratne published in: University of Agder, Faculty of Fine Arts
  This master's thesis is on incorporating elements of traditional music, specifically Raga Bhairav and Bhairavi, into contemporary music production. The thesis investigates how these elements can enhance the signature sound of modern compositions and impact the composer's artistic expression. The research questions explore the advantages and challenges of integrating traditional music elements into modern compositions and advocating cultural exchange and understanding. The thesis will use artistic development work, which combines artistic endeavors and scholarly research, as its method. The aim is to ensure the highest quality of artistic practice, meeting the same quality standards and academic achievements as other scientific activities. This study will provide insight into the potential impact of raga scales on modern compositions and contribute to the ongoing discourse on incorporating traditional music into contemporary music production.

  Armenian Fingerprints (2019) author(s): Mariam Kharatyan connected to: University of Agder, Faculty of Fine Arts published in: Norwegian Artistic Research Programme
  "Armenian Fingerprints - interpreting the piano music of Komitas and Khachaturian in light of Armenian folk music" is an artistic research project by pianist Mariam Kharatyan, at the University of Agder and the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme, during 2015-2019. Mariam Kharatyan is an Armenian classical pianist. Throughout this project she has been focused on the interpretation of classical piano music from the performer's perspective, aimed to find her own way of interpreting several major piano compositions written by the Armenian composers Komitas (1869-1935) and Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978). Approaching the interpretation strongly inspired from Armenian folk music, she has explored in-depth the impact of the interplay between classical and folk music in her playing, and what interpretational possibilities might emerge in piano works of Komitas and Khachaturian when listening to Armenian folk music and responding to it through musical expression in classical pianism. This exposition is the reflection of the project, on artistic processes, choices, and results.

  Cross cultural meetings: Traditional music from Setesdal and world musicians (2017) author(s): Ingolv Haaland, Jeremy Welsh, Bjørn Ole Rasch connected to: University of Agder, Faculty of Fine Arts published in: Research Catalogue
  The starting point for the project is a set of recordings by Norwegian folk-musicians of Norwegian folk-songs in the “stev og slåtte” (stave and tune) tradition of Setesdal in Agder. This source material was presented to musicians around the world in various studio sessions. The musicians did immediate responses after listening to a song, connecting to the music and establishing a dialogue. The purpose of this article is to document and provide insight into some of the processes in this artistic research project. The album FERD was released on Grappa Records 17.09.17 and a 70 minute film documentary will be released in 2018.
