Courses at the University of Oslo for which I have been the course convenor and/or main teacher:
- MUS2640 — Sensing Sound and Music (2024, 2025). The course focuses on teaching the basics of sound and music theory and methods, combining perspectives from musicology, psychology, and technology.
- HFIMV9301 — The Virtues and Limits of Inter/Trans/Cross-Disciplinarity (2023, 2024, 2025), and issues in the fields of music, communication,
- MCT4010 — Research Methods, Tools and Issues in MCT (2018, 2019). The aim of the course is to develop knowledge of and skills in various research methods, tools, and network-based technology concepts.
- MCT4021 — Physical-Virtual Communication and Music 1 (2018). The aim of this course is to learn to operate and maintain the Portal, the audio-visual communication platform connecting the two campuses in Trondheim and Oslo. The Portal constitutes a laboratory for network-based collaboration and communication.
- MUS2830 — Interactive Music (2012, 2013, 2017). This course introduces students to musical human-computer interaction, performance with live electronics, and the basics of sound/music programming and hardware hacking. The students develop a new, small software/hardware instrument each week, and we perform together in class and in a couple of concerts. I developed and ran the course by myself.
- MUS2821 — Sound skills 2 (2012). This course extends the knowledge gained from Sound Skills 1 (see below) and focuses on the acoustics of musical instruments and soundscapes. I taught advanced techniques for sound analysis and synthesis in PD.
- MUS2801 — Sound skills 1 (2011, 2012). This course introduces the students to sound theory, acoustics, and sound analysis/synthesis. My contribution has been to teach students synthesis and sampling in PD.
- MUS4830 — Music, Technology, Production (2011). This master’s course presents basic issues in music technology and production, and gives students the chance to critically reflect on their own practice with technologies in musical contexts. I gave about half of the lectures on basic issues in music technology and supervised semester projects.
- MUS4831 — Sound Analysis (2010, 2011, 2012) (co-taught with Rolf Inge God?y). This master’s course covers a broad range of methods and techniques for sound perception and analysis. My contribution has been to teach sound analysis methods, and the use of Spear, Sonic Visualiser and Matlab.
- MUS2006 — Music and Movement (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013). This course introduces students to the field of embodied music cognition, based on a mix of lectures by other researchers and me in the Department, and four workshops focused on developing methodological skills in video analysis and motion capture. I initiated and developed the course, wrote the course material, and have been administering it since the start.
- MUS2800 — Sound theory 1 (2010). This course introduces the students to sound theory and acoustics. I taught the course alone, as a substitute teacher.
- MUS2820 — Sound theory 2 (2010). This course extends the knowledge gained from Sound theory 1 (see above), and focuses on the acoustics of musical instruments and soundscapes. My contribution was to teach more advanced techniques for sound analysis and synthesis in PD.
- MUS2860 — Sound programming 2 (2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). This course focused on developing larger software projects in Max/MSP/Jitter, as well as basic electronics using Arduino and Phidgets. I developed the study program for the course, developed the course material, and taught it by myself. This course has now been merged with Sound theory 2 into the new course Sound skills 2, and parts of what was taught in this course is now taught in Interactive Music.
- MUS2840 — Sound programming 1 (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 ). This course introduced students to sound/music programming in Max/MSP, including synthesis and sampling. I developed the study program for this course, developed the course material, and taught it by myself. This course has now been merged with Sound theory 1 into the new course Sound skills 1.
- I have also held a number of separate lectures in other courses at the bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D.?levels.
Courses taught at the Norwegian Academy of Music:
- MUSTEK53 — Live electronics (2010, 2011, 2012). I taught full-day workshops on musical electronics (Phidgets) and laptop orchestra performance.
- KOMPTEK20 — Compositional techniques with electronics (2008). This course was based on teaching compositional techniques in Max/MSP for the composition students.
- MSTEKUT70 — History and aesthetics of music technology (2008). This course gave a broad introduction to the influence of music technology on music throughout the 20th century.
During the period 2006–2012, I was involved as a teacher in the International Summer School in Systematic Musicology:
- University of Hamburg (2012). I gave a lecture on the analysis of music-related body movements, and held a workshop on motion capture.
- University of Jyv?skyl? (2009). I gave a lecture on the analysis of music-related body movements using video analysis methods, and supervised student projects.
- Gent University (2006, 2007, 2008). I gave workshops on using the Musical Gestures Toolbox for the analysis of music-related body movements, and supervised student projects.
