- The author set up the ANEMONE (A NEw Music Of Northern Europe) research project in 2013 to consider new music within the Nordic region: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. Expanding on the author's interests in contemporary music in Finland, this research encompasses diverse genres/styles over a wider cultural and geographic area. It asks the basic question: what makes ‘Nordic’ music distinctive? Consequently, the final publication embraces not only art-music, but also jazz, folk and popular idioms, tracking internationally-recognised musical innovation in whatever genre. Building on an initial group of collaborators from previous research projects, the author developed a larger network of scholars most of whom live and work in the region, alongside colleagues in the UK.
Financial assistance from the Nordic Culture Fund supported two series of network meetings in Copenhagen. The first (2014) constituted initial exchange and discussion of aims and scope, leading to invitations to additional members: the eventual network comprised 16 people. After further project development, including the book proposal, the second set of meetings consolidated the work for publication. It also extended the on-going collaborative process so that all contributors nominated a fellow author to give feedback on their work. The author edited all submitted chapters, co-authored a submission on matters of timescale in Nordic music and provided a single-authored Preface to the volume.
