Computer-based music-making at public libraries : A study in conditions and practice

Recent papers and bills from the Swedish Government deal with the possibilities of giving all Swedish citizens the possibility of their own creative actlvities in the cultural sector. This work is about where such actlvities shall be placed in order to make them obtainable for all. As an example of creative work this work takes computer-based music-making. At the public library in Odense, Denmark there is a weil functioning sound workshop where the public gets the opportunity of making music with some assistance from the staff. This work shows that also in Sweden the public libraries are the most suitable institutions for placing studies for computer-based music-making for the public depending on the public libraries' traditions in adult education. The conclusion of this investigation is that as soon as possible there should be established studies for computer-based music-making at the public libraries in Sweden.Sidorna 10, 34, 52, 62, 74, 82 är blanka.
