Project duration:

How can songwriting be reimagined as an open, improvised, and performative practice, where works are created in front of an audience in interaction with the surroundings? And how can this approach help alleviate performance pressure and promote greater well-being among musicians?

These questions are explored in this collaborative project between the RMC and the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus (DJM). The project will experiment with situating songwriting as part of a living, participatory performative practice, rather than as an isolated, product-driven creation process. The goal is to develop new approaches to co-creation that foster more sustainable, inclusive, and community-oriented methods within contemporary rhythmic music.

The project is led by Assistant Professors Soffie Viemose (RMC) and Kasper Staub (DJM).
