We are happy to announce that ShareMusic’s collaboration with CCRMA, Centre for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, at Stanford University is increasing with three TechLab residencies in 2023.
We are welcoming three musicians/PhD students during different periods of 2023:
In June 2023, Barbara will collaborate with our ensemble Elefantöra in Gothenburg and Stockholm.
Mike Mulshine will start up his residency before the summer holidays 2023 in Jönköping. In September 2023, his work will be finalized in Malmö.
Lloyd May will once again be working with musician Peter Larsson. This time Peter’s fellow musicians from ensemble Parasonic, Tord Bremnes and Joel Mansour, will be joining the collaboration. Lloyd’s residency will take place in November 2023 at Vara Konserthus.
If you are curious about the PhD students and their work, please click on their respective names above to visit their individual webpages.
These TechLab residencies will include one or more of these elements:
- A webinar where the PhD:s get an opportunity to present their work and what they are going to investigate,
- An official sharing of the work by the end of the residency,
- An online talk where we go more in-depth to the findings through discussion with the PhD and other guests.
Of course, the setup will look slightly different each time, but there will be several opportunities for you to take part of the work and ask questions to the PhD:s and participants. You will find information about the events below and in news articles on the starting page.
8–11 September 2023: Mike Mulshine sharing/performance in Malmö.
22 November 2023: Lloyd May sharing/performance in Vara.
ShareMusic is connected to CCRMA through Advisory Board member Patricia Alessandrini who is Associate Professor at the university. CCRMA is also an associate partner to the Horizon EU project MuseIT that ShareMusic is part of.
In December 2021, PhD student Doga Cavdir performed a residency with us in Malmö within her project Felt Sound. The project was specifically aimed at deaf or persons with a hearing impairment, exploring how dancers may use haptics. In 2020, Lloyd May, then studying his master’s degree at Dartmouth College, collaborated with musician Peter Larsson in Skövde. They investigated a novel neuro sensor as a tool for creating music.
However, the concept of ShareMusic TechLab is not new. Around 2017–2018, we conducted TechLabs within the framework of the project Bits & Pieces as Elefantöra was formed and immersed in music technology. Also, the investigative part of commissioned piece Mondgewächse, was very much a series of TechLabs. Mondgewächse was an interdisciplinary performing arts project conducted and composed by Patricia Alessandrini, where the participants also co-created the interfaces used for music-making. The innovative music technology performed by the ShareMusic-based musicians met with Gageego’s traditional instruments in a visual performance that included video and live art by artist Freida Abtan.

ShareMusic is part of the project MuseIT, which is co-funded by the European Union and runs from 2022-2025. MuseIT stands for "Multisensory, User-centred, Shared cultural Experiences through Interactive Technologies." ShareMusic's role in the MuseIT project focuses on the part that concerns cultural co-creation, and we are working, among other things, on the development of a "Remote Performance Platform" that will enable musical co-creation at a distance. We are involved in other parts of the project, not least in creating an accessible archive of cultural assets.
In total, twelve partners from nine EU countries and three non-EU associated partners are involved in the project. The project coordinator is the University of Borås. All project partners are part of so-called work packages that have different focus areas.
ShareMusic organises a number of activities during the project, where different features and technical developments are explored in co-creative settings. Activities are often arranged together with other project partners.
