This study examines the conditions for innovation in classical music production through mobile recording and production practices in three Swedish case studies from the 1940s to 2021: the labels Recorda/Discofil/Swedish Society Discofil, BIS records, and Antennae Media. The first case study involves Discofil and its recording tours in the early 1950s. Discofil’s Hans Peter Kempe and Mark Blomberg traveled around Sweden by bus and car and made innovative recordings of amateur choirs and orchestras, for example, the acclaimed choral composition and recording “Sveriges flagga” by Hugo Alfvén, who conducted the Kempekören choir in 1952. The second case study is Robert von Bahr’s BIS Records and its advanced low-budget mobile recordings of international classical repertoire, released on LPs during the 1970s and 80s, such as Joculatores Upsalienses’ Antik musik på Wik LP, 1974. The third case study is Lars Bröndum’s Antennae Media 2020 to 2021. During the Covid-19 pandemic, composers used their personal networks to produce and release music through the Internet and streaming distribution channels. Composer/producer Lars Bröndum’s “Aleatoric Chamber Ensemble” recorded a newly written graphic composition in various locations, after which he edited the parts into 139 electroacoustic compositions, challenging the idea of mobility when recording. How innovation in recording and production has occurred and in what forms it has appeared, how the mobile recordings primarily are situated in a “place” or “non-place” and mediatized – and how the music is shaped in that process – is discussed in the article. This study thus investigates and compares – in a historical and Swedish context – the changed conditions for innovation in mobile classical music production: the individuals involved, the technologies, the practices and the networks used. It also discusses changing attitudes of the idea of “nation” and Swedish music, from national musical pride to anti-nationalism.
