The project is a scientific intervention study on masterclass teaching using Ki-Aikido as an investigation of a method then applied to my own artistic search in terms of development and inspiration.

​

The project was presented for the public with the opponent prof. Hans Kristian Kjos Sørensen.

I explore the use of the Japanese Martial art Ki-Aikido in percussion aiming at communicating a new method of approaching an artistic process by: 

​

A Video recording of "Mirage" by Y. Sueyoshi

A Documentary Film about the process 

A Scientific Intervention study and the article "Marimba, Mallet and Mind" published in Journal of New Music Research (Routledge)

Article link

An article in "Year Book for artistic research 2018"

A premiere of the Aluphone concerto:

One Point by Laura Bowler, based on Ki-Aikido.

​

Instructional videos about the method for percussion

​

 

​

Results:

​

The intervention study where we tested a control group and an

experiment group receiving a Ki-Aikido instruction, before and after intervention, showed a significantly higher ability to change the sound with the Ki-Aikido instruction - FFT analysis showed  an average decrease of the 3rd and 4th overtone, thus resulting in a marimbasound with more fundamental tone.

​

The artistic research found new way of approaching the interpretation proces during the interdisciplinary study, as well as directly crossreferences from the methods of the martial art and percussion playing.
