I am working on the introduction to my dissertation, and am trying to place my work in a context. Officially, I’m in a musicology program (Norwegian musicology ≈ science of music) in the Faculty of Humanities, but most of my interests are probably closer to psychology and computer science. Quite a lot of what I have been doing has also been used creatively (concerts and installations) although that is not really the focus of my current research.

Currently, I have made this sketch of two axes where I see my work fit somewhere in the middle:

The important thing is that these are axes, not categories. I see my work as covering the extremes but also the middle points of the axes.
