I samspel med en pianist : Ett försök att kombinera två instruments styrkor

This project is focusing on the interplay between guitar and piano with the goal of combining the strengths between both instruments. By experimenting with different compositional methods within strict frames combined with curiosity, the purpose is to explore new grounds. The goal is also to face the difficulties that may arise between both of the instruments. To achieve this, music has been written for a guitar and piano-duo, a trio with double bass and a quartet with drums. The process of every composition, choice of musicians, choice of gear and the musical recital is explained in detail. The importance of having an open dialogue between the guitarist and pianist is described, as well as the rehearsal with the whole band. In the end, a conclusion is made that despite the mentioned obstacles, the biggest difficulty was the composing. A conclusion that the project has given further knowledge of composing, as well as technical achievements as an electric and acoustic guitar player is also explained
