About this exposition

en
Unni Løvlid (NMH) and Marianne Baudouin Lie (NTNU), from Norwegian traditional and classical/contemporary music backgrounds, collaborate to explore tonality's diversity, leveraging their distinct practices to enhance inner ear training and pedagogical methods. Their project aims to develop a shared verbal language and deepen collective understanding of varied tonalities, challenging the standardization of tonality in music. By internalizing diverse tonalities through the inner ear, they seek to freely interpret and create music, fostering new artistic insights for both composed and improvised works. In 2021, they partnered with five composers—Sven Lyder Kahrs, Lasse Thoresen, Karin Rehnqvist, Lene Grenager, Ole Henrik Moe, and Jon Øivind Ness—to create new compositions and improvisations centered on tonality, inspired by folk music. The duo investigates how folk singers and classical instrumentalists adapt to new listening and auditive methods, exploring microtonality, quarter tones, and pure intervals. Through artistic research and educational efforts, they aim to develop methods to embody microtonality naturally, benefiting performers, students, and the broader musical community. The project invites collaboration with composers, ear training experts, and music theorists to inspire new music and deepen tonal understanding, contributing to artistic development and a richer musical discourse.

Unni Løvlid (NMH) og Marianne Baudouin Lie (NTNU), i et samarbeid mellom tradisjonsmusikk og klassisk/samtidsmusikk, samarbeider med et mål om å utforske tonalitetens mangfold og utvikle nye metoder for gehørtrening og pedagogikk. Gjennom kunstnerisk forskning, improvisasjon og samarbeid med komponister undersøker de å utøve musikk med forskejllige typer mikrotonalitet, inspirert av folkemusikk. Prosjektet søker å skape en felles forståelse av ulike tonaliteter, utfordre standardisering og fremme fri tolkning og musikkskaping – både komponert og improvisert.
