Collaborative Music Production for a TV Series - A Case Study

Sammanfattning: In this thesis, the focus is to enhance our understanding of the collaboration process within film music production, with the intention of applying this knowledge to music education. Data were collected through video observations and analyzed using Biasutti's (2018) theory and thematic analysis. The results reveal that collaborative film music production comprises five key themes, initially derived from Biasutti (2018). However, modifications to these themes emerged as a result of the study's application in a music production scenario rather than a compositional scenario. The identified themes are experimenting, listening/evaluating, constructing, recording, and sound design/mixing. The results show that these various themes are interwoven in different ways. Together, they intricately shape the collaborative process of music production. The interplay between experimentation, listening/evaluating, constructing, recording, and sound design/mixing underscores the depth and complexity of collaborative music production.
