• TEXTURE AND FORM IN COMPOSITION FOR LARGER ENSEMBLE OF IMPROVISERS (last edited: 2021) author(s): Lotte Anker, Niclas Hundahl connected to: Rhythmic Music Conservatory Copenhagen This exposition is in progress.
  The artistic research project takes Lotte Ankers Anker's ongoing practice as composer and musician/improviser as its starting point, investigating how the development of new composed material could unfold through dialogues between the composer and the musicians in a larger ensemble. The research aims at focusing on issues related to balancing the pre-determinated with the uncertain, undecided.

• TRANSFORMATIVE REFLECTIONS (last edited: 2021) author(s): nikolaj hess, Niclas Hundahl connected to: Rhythmic Music Conservatory Copenhagen This exposition is in progress.
  With Nikolaj Hess' artistic practice as a starting point, Hess aims at developing and describing an art-methodological approach to transformative reflections that appears to be artistically productive for creating new music with the improvisational and compositional contemporary popular music. Examples will be hoisted from reflecting modern paintings into jazz.

• Musikhistorie eller historier om musikere? – Potentialet i akademisk musikhistorie og analyse, på folkemusikuddannelsen. (last edited: 2022) author(s): NNH This exposition is in progress.
  Fra ansøgningen: Projektet skal generere ny viden indenfor de to fag, men også under en mere overordnet overskrift a la “Hvad er status på den akademisk forskning i folkemusikkens historie i Danmark?” En undersøgelse af dette vil skabe et overblik over feltet, som både studerende og underviserer kan drage nytte af i fremtiden. Folkemusikhistorie: Der er brug for en konkretisering og afgrænsning af a) hvad der er vigtigt at vide indenfor dansk folkemusiks historie og vægtningen mellem fokusset på enkelte musikere og større sociale strømninger, b) hvor højt forholdet mellem historisk (før 2000) og aktuel folkemusik (efter 2000) skal vægtes, også med hensyn til relaterede genrer som World Music og c) laves et reelt overblik over status på forskningen i Danmark anno 2020. Folk music analysis: Her er der et behov for at afdække nødvendigheden og rollen analyse skal spille. Historisk har musikalsk analyse primært beskæftiget sig med at afdække strukturer i musikken, men ikke sammenholde denne med det omkringliggende samfund. Efter Theodor W. Adorno begyndte denne type analyser i 1930’erne, og Susan McClary opdaterede analyserne i 90’erne, og disse er benyttet på klassisk og rytmisk musik, er det værd at afdække værdien af denne type analyse for folkemusikerer. For mig at se er det en vigtig prioritering for SDMK at være med til at udvikle disse undervisningsområder da det viser en seriøsitet omkring uddannelsen og folkemusikken generelt, samtidig med at det styrker uddannelsens profil og elevernes udbytte af undervisningen. Den nye viden skal naturligvis være tilgængelig for andre undervisere og lægge grunden for videre udvikling.

• SUITE DILATION - melodic language and resonance for the solo improvisor (last edited: 2022) author(s): Niclas Hundahl, Kasper Tranberg This exposition is in progress.
  In this project, I created and developed compositional and improvisational material in a repertoire for solo trumpet and cornet. My goal was to create an intimate frame for my playing, and rooted in my personal expression, my vision was to develop a deep dialogue between my instrument, the composed material and my improvisational instincts and properties. In this work, it was my wish to map the connections and resistors that appears in my work as an improvising solo instrumentalist, and in the naked solo-trumpet format I portrait the essence of my sound and melodic improvisation and explorations in four original compositions that are the foundation for this work. The work also very much circulated around locating and refining the most important essence of resonance and intentionality in the sound and vibrations of my body and instruments.

• Reaching for the utmost limits – Making a process visible with The Hands, the Bow, and the Bass (last edited: 2022) author(s): Niclas Hundahl, Johannes Nästesjö This exposition is in progress.
  Can I, by reaching for the utmost limits on my instrument, in dynamically, technically and pitch related ways both find, for me, new contemporary techniques and expand the ways on how to play and perform them on the double bass? Can I, by illuminating, documenting, studying, organizing and re-documenting my musical process, design a toolkit for improvising bassists with contemporary techniques?  Can I, in my musical process both act as the first person, i.e. the subjective musician and as the third person, i.e. the objective observer?
 If so, can I, as the observer objectively observe and organize the ”discoveries” that I am doing in my daily work as first person.   Can I create this tool kit through the limitations that my instrument offers acoustically (the hand, the bow and the bass). And can I through this immerse and widen my musical expressions? - A richer language - more elastic - with more colors.

  Sonic Complexion (2022) author(s): Jacob Anderskov, Niclas Hundahl published in: Rhythmic Music Conservatory Copenhagen
  The Sonic Complexion project has investigated from an artistic perspective the musical dimensions texture and ‘klang’ (harmony), with the aim of creating new music and new perspectives. The outcomes of the project are a number of new albums, methodologies and perspectives, coming from quite different starting point in terms of how to systematically-artistically investigate texture and harmony.

• Meridiana: Lines Toward a Non-local Alchemy (last edited: 2021) author(s): Søren Kjærgaard, Niclas Hundahl This exposition is in progress.
  “Meridiana: Lines toward a non-local Alchemy” investigates the line as a sonic, textual and visual phenomenon. Taking off from the four literary voices: the Dutch philosopher Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677), the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) and the Chinese Taoists Lü Yan (796 C.E.) and Sun Buer (1119–1182 C.E.), a multitude of meanings are interwoven in a rich network of musical, textual and graphic lines. The line as a basic concept is emphasized by the first word of the title, Meridiana (plural for meridian), which has terminological roots in both the East and the West. In Western terminology, it denotes one geographical line connecting the North and South Pole. In the East, originating from ancient China, meridians (经络) are energy pathways of the body (both human and non-human), which connect internal organs and a number of vital points in a neurological network. The meeting between these two interpretations of a "meridian", between the geo-physical and sub-physical, between East and West, are the cornerstones of the project, which intention is to weave together the various meanings and emphases of meridian, while at the same time unfolding an expanding an intersection of lines: sonic lines, textual lines, graphic lines.
