Description
Summary:ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATIONThe Trailer ProjectbyBerglind María TómasdóttirDoctor of Musical Arts in Contemporary Music Performance University of California, San Diego, 2013 Professor John Fonville, ChairFor quite a while I have been fascinated by the effect a concert setting has on a listener'sperception of a live music performance. In 2011, I started a project based on that interest, which I called The Trailer Project. This document addresses this project from the 2011 concert tour, during which I traveled around Iceland and gave flute performances inside a caravan, to a documentary I made about the tour, entitled The Caravan Concerts. The documentary also serves as an autobiographical work about my exploration of my musical identity.
