The purpose of the project is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the roles played by soundtrack elements – sound effects, music, voice, silence – in audiovisually mediated conspiracy- theoretical discourse. In 2023 I will start on a new research project titled Conspiracy soundtracks: The role of music and sound in audiovisually mediated conspiracy theoretical discourse (funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, 2023-2026). I am also the project leader for the research project Classical Music for a Mediatized World: Visual and Audiovisual Representations of Western Art Music in Contemporary Media and Society (funded by the Swedish Research Council 2018-2023): My ongoing research is concerned with questions of how traditional ideas and beliefs about classical music are reproduced, challenged and subverted in contemporary screen media fictions. The project issued in the monograph Andrei Tarkovsky’s Sounding Cinema: Music and Meaning from Solaris to The Sacrifice (Routledge, 2020). In the recently completed research project Tarkovsky’s Soundtracks: The Significance of Music and Sound in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Cinema (funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond) I examined the role and function of music and sound in the films of Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. In my earlier research project Creativity and Justification: The Epistemology and Methodology of Critical Interpretation in Musical Research I focused on issues of methodology, epistemology and interpretation in relation to three disciplinary fields: historical musicology, film music studies and the philosophy of music. My research lies at the intersection between cultural theory, philosophical aesthetics, and audiovisual studies.
