The sharing will take around 45 minutes.
Stanford doctoral student Mike Mulshine's TechLab residency with ShareMusic is performed in two parts: in June 2023, he worked in Jönköping, and in September, the work continues in Malmö.
In the first part of his TechLab residency with ShareMusic, Mike worked with musicians Peter Larsson and Joel Mansour, and dancer Lovisa Larsson. Mike’s goal was to create a musical performance experience that incorporated and merged all of the participants’ unique expressive interests.
Mike about the work in Jönköping:
– As artists, I believe the most valuable thing we can do, for ourselves and for others, is express ourselves the way we most desire – follow our light, so to speak. Our lights merged in Jönköping, and we began to make music together.
During the second part of the residency, musicians from ShareMusic’s ensemble in Skåne will join the group Mike worked with in Jönköping. This is what Mike answered when we asked him what the visitors can expect during the sharing in Malmö:
– The goal is to incorporate the additional musicians via a similar spontaneous, fun, agency-diffuse style as we achieved in our working process here in Jönköping, Mike explains. I also aim to find a reliable and comfortable way to incorporate the audience more directly in the work.

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.
