This cycle included a concert performance of Uphonia – a composition for MPO and Sinfonietta. The target group for the MPO was twenty-six non-music students in the age of 17 years old. Two research questions permeated this cycle: 1. What is the experience of the participating MPO-performers?, 2. What conclusions could be drawn based on the results and focusing on the criteria artistically rewarding?

abstract
This exposition provide documentation and data from my artistic research regarding my work on mobile phone orchestra as a new performance practice for contemporary art music. How can an easy-accessed Mobile Phone Orchestra (MPO)-platform be developed to facilitate high-end, flexible artistic expressions suitable for concert hall performances?. Moreover, What artistic challenges and possibilities arises with a novel MPO-platform embracing novices as performers?. In my artistic research I explore these questions, which is integrated in the development process of mobilephoneorchestra.com. In particular, I highlight the main challenge of developing a performance platform which both is mobile and artistically rewarding, but still easy accessed for novices. Mobilephoneorchestra.com is developed as an online platform to enable large-scale concert hall performances of fixed polyphonic contemporary art music. A kind of philharmonic orchestra for electronic sounds, embracing novices as performers, using smart phones as instruments. Through an autoethnographic approach the research is carried out in multiple cycles, inspired by action research. In this exposition I will provide documentation and data from different cycles carried out within the project. All cycles include performances of music involving a MPO. Previous results of the findings show that the platform both is intuitive and easy to use for novices and has potential of providing flexible high-end artistic material and expression for concert hall performances. I specifically highlight the use of mobile music interfaces in combination with animated notation as a novel approach for a MPO-concept.
