There is a way to listen to music so it touches the very core of yourself. I was so fortunate to discover this almost 30 years ago through the teachings of the Spanish conductor Jordi Mora. With these five newly made conversations with him, I invite you to a very special journey into this fascinating and deeply moving world of music. His unique teachings opens up the inner world of music in a way that creates connections to our life experiences as a human being.

I met up with him in Barcelona to once again delve into the fascinating world of phenomenology of music, as this approach is called. The result are these 5 podcast episodes. I hope you will feel inspired after listening to it!

Annabel har fått besøk av en av sine pianoelever, Agnes. Sammen spiller og filosoferer de over forbindelsene mellom musikken og livet. Komponisten Ruth Bakke har  laget 25 små pianostykker for barn med heftet "Pano Piano" der pianisten selv må være både lyttende og medskapende. Dette har inspirert Agnes til å både improvisere og komponere egne stykker. Agnes spiller 'Brumle Buff' fra dette heftet. Musikken er notert grafisk (tegnet) og Agnes forteller selv hvordan hun skaper sin egen fortelling og 'melodi' i dette stykket. Hun har også laget en sang til yndlingsbamsen sin, Ulva. 

Om podcasten

Velkommen til en god søndagsmorgen i Breistølen. Solen skinner og fuglene kvitrer når Annabel får sin nabo og pianoelev Helene på 10 år på besøk. Sammen filosoferer de over hva som gjør musikken de øver på mer eller mindre levende.  

Edvin elsker gammelost! Men det har ikke alltid vært sånn. Han øvde seg en stund på å bli kjent med smaken. Kan det være slik med musikk også? Som lyttelos fikk Annabel spørsmålet: «Hvorfor skal jeg lytte til musikk jeg ikke liker»?

Edvin snakker om forskjellen om å behandle mennesket og ikke sykdommen. Smerte og lidelse er to ting. Musikk kan gir form til erfaringen, til levd mening.

Vi oppdager at vi ikke alltid finner ord for hva man føler. Frykten for å føle seg ynkelig og avslørt. Ikke forsøke å være flink. Være ærlig. Helt ærlig. Ikke late som man forstår. Hva vil det si å være helt ærlig i møte med musikken? Spørsmålene som vekkes i oss er mer interessante enn svarene. Er rastløshet, kjedsomhet og uforståelighet også legitime følelser i møte med denne musikken?  

Om podcasten

Vignett: Craig Farr

I hvilken grad er utvikling viktig for at lyd skal bli til musikk og ord bli til en meningsfull samtale? Annabel spiller og loser lytterne gjennom «Aften på Høyfjellet» av Edvard Grieg og sammen flytter vi musikkerfaringen inn i språket. Kan vi få en større og mer helhetlig opplevelse av musikken?
