Teamwork in songwriting

In this article songwriter Ronja Maltzahn focuses on examples and experiences of co-creation as a method for multilingual songwriting and musical translation. She distinguishes between a hierarchical and non-hierarchical perspective – here referred to as an eye-to-eye-level. Maltzahn demonstrates how within the hierarchical framework, two roles can be adopted: a visionary or a reflectionist role. Each position and setting is analysed in terms of possibilities, advantages, challenges, and difficulties.
