About

Music Performance at Luleå University of Technology is a subject where artistic issues relevant to musical creativity and learning are examined.

Overview

The subject combines knowledge forms in art and science, and encompasses the entire field of musical contexts and genres. Research in Music Performance at Luleå University of Technology is carried out in collaboration with professional music organisations, but also through interdisciplinary collaboration across art forms and other scientific disciplines.

Features

The Academy of Music's research environment today has a strong international profile in research on musical interaction, with a base in the research cluster GEMM (Gesture, Embodiment and Machines in Music). This is an interdisciplinary research environment, where research in audio engineering is also an important component.

Research in Music Performance is deeply rooted in artistic practices and professional knowledge. Artistic results take the form of performances, scores and recordings. Here, Studio Acusticum and the University Organ constitute a very important infrastructure.
