About this exposition

In this exposition, I address the development of a solo performance practice that synthesizes improvisation, composition, and an embodied knowledge of Nordic folk music. Through the study of traditional hardingfele repertoire, improvisatory exploration, and the development of a distinct lexicon of instrumental technique, I have cultivated a highly personal framework for solo performance, demonstrating how the practice of a musical tradition can be used as a methodology to expand and inspire one's artistic voice. This exposition provides an overview of my artistic research process, performance recordings, and reflections on music and identity throughout this study of tradition and innovation.
