Awareness of Time and Experience of Conscious Mental Processes during Musical Activity

Bjerstedt, Sven LU orcid (2025) In KronoScope 25. p.113-124
Abstract (Swedish)
How may changes in musicians’ experience of time influence their impressions of hav- ing conscious intentions during musical activity? In this essay I will present and discuss an autoethnographic account of how an exceptionally heightened awareness of time during musical improvisation may be connected to a heightened awareness of one’s own mental activity, particularly of speedy internal deliberative processes.
