Virtual songwriting camp with international participation

For two days, the project BDSW Digital arranged a songwriting camp with songwriters, producers and artists from Norrbotten, London, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles and Nashville.

Create music remotely

The purpose of the songwriting camp was to create the best possible conditions for creating music at a distance regardless of location. Pär Soini, CEO of BD Pop, one of the parties in the project, says:

“The project has carried out a fantastically successful virtual songwriting camp with participants from Sweden, Europe and the USA in order to evaluate the creative process and technology of global camps online. This is the first time we run a camp with so many participants, just over 30, and globally with different time zones. The result will further help us in the work of creating the best possible conditions for creating music at a distance -regardless of place, where the task of technology is to support and adapt to the creative process rather than setting limits.”

Open Innovations

Through Open Innovations and new technology, the project will build new creative processes digitally. The project will develop solutions and industrystrengthening measures and put Norrbotten at the forefront in terms of the music industry’s development. The goal is to develop a product / service for music creation and for music production at a distance for professional musicians, and to build a network for music production with songwriters, artists and producers from all over the world.

Norrbotten - a metropolis for creation and music production

Michael Nilsson, project manager at CDT, Luleå University of Technology, says:

“We think this is a very exciting and innovative project that can really contribute to making Norrbotten a metropolis for music creation and production by combining creativity, digital technology and our test environments for 5G in a completely new and innovative way.”

The project’s financiers and parties are Region Norrbotten, Luleå Municipality, Skellefteå Municipality, Sparbanken Nord, BD-Pop and the Längmanska Entrepreneurship Fund.
