This project explores new performative practices in which the focus shifts from product to process. The goal is to reduce performance pressure and enhance artistic well-being in music creation.<br \/>\nHow 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 counteract performance pressure and promote greater well-being among musicians?<\/p>\n<p>These questions are explored in this collaborative project between RMC and the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus (DJM). The project will experiment with positioning songwriting as part of a living, participatory performative practice rather than an isolated and product-oriented creative process. The goal is to develop new approaches to co-creation that can foster more sustainable, inclusive, and community-oriented methods within contemporary rhythmic music.<\/p>\n<p>The project is led by Soffie Viemose and Kasper Staub, who are assistant professors at RMC and DJM, respectively.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_39801\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39801\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39801\" src=\"https:\/\/musikkons.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SOF-KASP-SOeREN-LYNGAARD-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musikkons.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SOF-KASP-SOeREN-LYNGAARD-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/musikkons.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SOF-KASP-SOeREN-LYNGAARD-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/musikkons.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SOF-KASP-SOeREN-LYNGAARD-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-39801\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kasper Staub and Soffie Viemose<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kasper Staub in collaboration with Soffie Viemose (RMC) Contexts, Engagements, Distributions: Songwriting as a Performative Practice What if songwriting took place live\u2014rooted in specific situations, improvised, and in interaction with the surroundings?
