• The hidden voices of the upright bass (2020) author(s): Björn Daniel Rasmus Andersson published in: Research Catalogue
  This thesis will focus on the possibilities of the upright bass as a chord instrument in the genre of composed music. The author will in particular delve into the natural harmonic spectra of the upright bass, utilizing harmonics to create scales and chords in the hopes of discovering ways to seamlessly blend traditional pizzicato playing with harmonics, thus "unlocking" new ways of approaching the upright bass as an ensemble- or indeed a soloinstrument.

  Curating the Art School – Propositions for developing a collaborative art space in the intersection between art school and community (2020) author(s): Susanne Clausen published in: Research Catalogue
  This exposition presents the ongoing artistic research project ‘Curating the Art School – Propositions for developing a collaborative art space in the intersection between art school and community’ which has driven the creation of a new arts organisation at the University of Reading. I would like to offer an introduction to the research questions, a situational and theoretical background and present some of the artistic and curatorial explorations via photo documentation and links to the project pages as a running visual commentary. ‘Reading International’ was established to develop and test the creation of a liminal space between an art school, a regional arts community and an international contemporary art network. By inviting artists to respond to the specific social and historical framework offered by the art school and the town the project aims to explore how we can imagine the art school in a university as a public arena, which opens its life beyond the academic community and actively engages with a wider public? Could the art school become a catalyst to create a speculative thinking space, erasing hierarchical (and economic) divisions between the educational environment and wider publics? How can we create a space that is less separated from the professional public, where artists collaborate with students and the community to create a dynamic cultural space in a regional environment? I would like to set out these questions at an interim stage of the project as a way to invite further responses and discussion.

• Why are my hands in pain (2020) author(s): Helgi Þorleiksson published in: Research Catalogue
  This project focuses on how percussionists get injured while playing. Six percussionists were interviewed focusing on their injury history and practice habits. This information was brought to medical professionals who helped decipher how the percussionists or their decisions, led them to sustaining a playing related injury. Finally, we compare their stories to current recovery science to see if there are some things we can learn about recovery and preventing injuries.
