Music Ecosystems Inner Scandinavia (EU/Interreg Sweden-Norway, 2018-21) is a cross-disciplinary, collaborative research project that wants to understand how digital technology, in relation to other societal trends and social structures, configures music usage and experiences. How do different user groups, with varying social demographic backgrounds, navigate in the new digital musical landscape? To what extent do different user groups “master” trans- and geomedial music experiences?
