Abstract

In this episode, we talk about Music Research, and how it is to practice open research within this field. Our guest is Alexander Jensenius, Associate Professor at the Department of Musicology - Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion (IMV) at the University of Oslo. He is also behind MusicLAb, an event-based project where data is collected, during a musical performance, and analyzed on the fly. The aim of MusicLab is to explore new methods for conducting research, research communication, and education. Rather than keeping the entire research process closed, MusicLab wants to share the data with the public, and show how it can be analyzed.

The host of this episode is Erik Lieungh.

Alexander Refsum Jensenius, University of Oslo

Dr. Alexander Refsum Jensenius is at the Department of Musicology and Deputy Director at the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion at the University of Oslo. Jensenius is a music researcher and research musician. His research focuses on why music makes us move, which he explores through empirical studies using different types of motion sensing technologies. He also uses the analytic knowledge and tools in the creation of new music, with both traditional and very untraditional instruments. As chair of the NIME steering committee, he is a leading figure in the international computer music community. From 2017 he co-directs RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion, an interdisciplinary centre of excellence at the University of Oslo. As a member of the Young Academy of Norway and the EUA Open Science Committee, he is also involved in pushing for modernizing the way research is conceived and conducted.
