  Rolf Inge Godøy focusses on how notions of shape, understood as geometric figures and images stemming from body-motion, metaphors, graphic representation, and so forth, can be associated with the production and perception of music. Central to the chapter is the understanding that shape cognition is not only deeply rooted in the human experience of music and in specific musical imagery, but also that it has the potential to enhance our understanding of music as a phenomenon in general. Godøy also discusses how musical shape cognition, given that it is becoming increasingly more feasible to analyze with new technology, can contribute to various domains of music-related research, and, further, that it can be highly valuable to practical applications in musical and multimedia artistic creation.

  Music streaming enables the tracking of listening behavior in more detail than any previous music-distribution format. While it is well known that streaming services collect troves of data, little is known about how stakeholders, including managers or label executives, make metric-based decisions and how they understand the impact of algorithms. The article uses anonymized interviews with music industry professionals, exploring how they use metrics in streaming services and examining their decision-making processes. The analysis concludes that they rely on a growing volume of data when making decisions about what to promote, and how. Nevertheless, most of the stakeholders focused on fairly simple metrics, such as salient spikes that were noticeable “at a glance.” When discussing these !ndings, we draw attention to the reinforcing feedback loops between metrics, data-based decisions and algorithms, questioning whether data!cation acts to intensify trending events and di"usion of new music.

  How do artists use copyright to further their creative ends? To approach this question, this article focuses on the relationship between artists’ appropriation of digital technology and exertion of their rights. In particular, it relates the evolving range of production tools and distribution services to the ways in which artists currently create musi- cal works and seek to exploit their economic as well as moral rights. Interviews with eighteen artists in Norway reveal a series of technology- mediated challenges to the ownership of one’s work, the recognition of one’s authorship, and one’s remuneration that demonstrate the need for open discussion of the ethical aspects of copyright in music.

  We present a method for tempo estimation from audio recordings based on signal processing and peak tracking, and not depending on training on ground-truth data. First, an accentuation curve, emphasizing the temporal location and accentuation of notes, is based on a detection of bursts of energy localized in time and frequency. This enables the detection of notes in dense polyphonic texture, while ignoring spectral fluctuation produced by vibrato and tremolo. Periodicities in the accentuation curve are detected using an improved version of autocorrelation function. Hierarchical metrical structures, composed of a large set of periodicities in pairwise harmonic relationships, are tracked over time. In this way, the metrical structure can be tracked even if the rhythmical emphasis switches from one metrical level to another. This approach, compared to all the other participants to the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) Audio Tempo Extraction competition from 2006 to 2018, is the third best one among those that can track tempo variations. While the two best methods are based on machine learning, our method suggests a way to track tempo founded on signal processing and heuristics-based peak tracking. Moreover, the approach offers for the first time a detailed representation of the dynamic evolution of the metrical structure. The method is integrated into MIRtoolbox, a Matlab toolbox freely available.

  We present an approach to analyzing the motion capture data of rowers using bivariate functional principal component analysis (bfPCA). The method has been applied on data from six elite rowers rowing on an ergometer. The analyses of the upper and lower body coordination during the rowing cycle revealed significant differ- ences between the rowers, even though the data was normalized to account for differences in body dimensions. We make an argument for the use of bfPCA and other functional data analysis methods for the quantitative evaluation and description of technique in sports.

  The links between music and human movement have been shown to provide insight into crucial aspects of human’s perception, cognition, and sensorimotor systems. In this study, we examined the influence of music on movement during standstill, aiming at further characterizing the correspondences between movement, music, and perception, by analyzing head sway fractality. Eighty seven participants were asked to stand as still as possible for 500 seconds while being presented with alternating silence and audio stimuli. The audio stimuli were all rhythmic in nature, ranging from a metronome track to complex electronic dance music. The head position of each participant was captured with an optical motion capture system. Long-range correlations of head movement were estimated by detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). Results agree with previous work on the movement-inducing effect of music, showing significantly greater head sway and lower head sway fractality during the music stimuli. In addition, patterns across stimuli suggest a two-way adaptation process to the effects of music, with musical stimuli influencing head sway while at the same time fractality modulated movement responses. Results indicate that fluctuations in head movement in both conditions exhibit long-range correlations, suggesting that the effects of music on head movement depended not only on the value of the most recent measured intervals, but also on the values of those intervals at distant times.

  This article interrogates ideas of popular music "sound(s)" linked to place by interpreting data gathered during the applied research project Mapping Popular Music in Dublin (MPMiD) 2015-16. An outline background, rationale and framework for MPMiD is presented, followed by a review of methods developed and overall themes that emerged. Focusing on the project's "Sounding Dublin" strand, the article analyses the responses of 366 participants from a section of MPMiD's e-survey relating to music, musicians, sounds and soundtracks that might be considered "typical" (or otherwise) of Dublin. Although a substantial minority of participants eschew notions of sonic uniqueness linked to place in the abstract sense, the data reveal a rich tapestry of experiences and standpoints linked to ideas of a Dublin sound or sounds. Some appear to concur with conventional hagiographies of rock and folk, with others challenging received narratives and proposing alternative viewpoints, scenes and pathways. "Dublin-specific" associations emerging across various genres are based on appraisals of performer engagement, accent and timbre, and narrative/lyrical style.

  In this paper, we present a workshop of physical computing applied to NIME design based on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education. The workshop is designed for master students with multidisciplinary backgrounds. They are encouraged to work in teams from two university campuses remotely connected through a portal space. The components of the workshop are prototyping, music improvisation and reflective practice. We report the results of this course, which show a positive impact on the students’ confidence in prototyping and intention to continue in STEM fields. We also present the challenges and lessons learned on how to improve the teaching of hybrid technologies and programming skills in an interdisciplinary context across two locations, with the aim of satisfying both beginners and experts. We conclude with a broader discussion on how these new pedagogical perspectives can improve NIME-related courses.

  It can be argued that sound perception is event-based, focused on chunks of sound, on what has been called sound objects. Also, it can be argued that these sound objects are closely linked with sensations of body motion, hence, should be understood as sound-motion objects. The advantage of thinking sound-motion objects is to provide us with lucid representations of salient sound features as multimodal shape images, providing solid and tangible images of the otherwise ephemeral sound features. Drawing on the rich tradition of sound object theory from the work of Pierre Schaeffer and co-workers, the present scheme for thinking sound-motion objects also draws on insights from more recent research on human motor cognition demonstrating that sensations of body motion are integral to the perception and cognition of sound.

  INTIMAL is a physical virtual embodied system for relational listening that integrates body movement, oral archives, and voice expression through telematic improvisatory performance in migratory contexts. It has been informed by nine Colombian migrant women who express their migratory journeys through free body movement, voice and spoken word improvisation. These improvisations have been recorded using Motion Capture, in order to develop interfaces for co-located and telematic interactions for the sharing of narratives of migration. In this paper, using data from the Motion Capture experiments, we are exploring two specific movements from improvisers: displacements on space (walking, rotating), and breathing data. Here we envision how co-relations between walking and breathing, might be further studied to implement interfaces that help the making of connections between place, and the feeling of presence for people in-between distant locations.

  In this paper we introduce a hardware platform to proto- type interfaces of demanding sonic interactive systems. We target applications featuring a large array of analog sensors requiring data acquisition and transmission to computers at fast rates, with low latency, and high band- width. This work is part of an ongoing project which aims to provide designers with a cost effective and acces- sible platform for fast prototyping of complex interfaces for sonic interactive systems or musical instruments. The high performances are guaranteed by a SoC FPGA. The functionality of the platform can be customized without requiring significant technical expertise. In this paper, we discuss the principles, the current design, and the prelim- inary evaluation against common microcontroller-based platforms. The proposed platform can sample up to 96 analog channels at rates up to 24 kHz and stream the data via UDP to computers with a sub millisecond latency.

  One of Pierre Schaeffer’s achievements in his musical research was his proposal of the sound object as a basic unit of musical experience and his insistence on listening as a main focus of research. Out of this research grew a radical new music theory of sound-based composition. This article will draw on this extensive research to explore the spaces where this music is heard and present the claim that the space in which music is experienced is as much a part of the music as the timbral material itself. The key question here is the changes made to timbral material through acousmatic spatial listening and the subjective analysis affordance of the listeners’ placement and perspective. These consequences are studied from a phenom- enological and psychoacoustic perspective and it is suggested that Schaeffer’s research on timbral and musical concepts can be extended to include spatial features.

  In speech and music, the acoustic and perceptual onset(s) of a sound are usually not congruent with its perceived temporal location. Rather, these "P-centers" are heard some milliseconds after the acoustic onset, and a variety of techniques have been used in speech and music research to find them. Here we report on a comparative study that uses various forms of the method of adjustment (aligning a click or filtered noise in-phase or anti-phase to a repeated target sound), as well as tapping in synchrony with a repeated target sound. The advantages and disadvantages of each method and probe type are discussed, and then all methods are tested using a set of musical instrument sounds that systematically vary in terms of onset/rise time (fast vs. slow), duration (short vs. long), and center frequency (high vs. low). For each method, the dependent variables were (a) the mean P-center location found for each stimulus type, and (b) the variability of the mean P-center location found for each stimulus type. Interactions between methods and stimulus categories were also assessed. We show that (a) in-phase and anti-phase methods of adjustment produce nearly identical results, (b) tapping vs. click alignment can provide different yet useful information regarding P-center locations, (c) the method of adjustment is sensitive to different sounds in terms of variability while tapping is not, and (d) using filtered noise as an alignment probe yields consistently earlier probe-onset locations in comparison to using a click as a probe.

  This paper articulates the design for the first stage of INTIMAL: a physical/virtual embodied interactive system for relational listening in the context of human migration, set within the artistic practice of improvisatory telematic sonic performance. Informed by the Deep Listening experiences of nine Colombian migrant women in Europe and integrating Embodied Music Cognition Methods, INTIMAL draws upon sensorial experience in dreams, virtual spaces, and physical spaces to develop a holistic understanding of the body as an interface that keeps one’s memory of place. Technologies are intended to be used as mediations aiding the co-relations in listening for the sensing, processing and retrieval of an oral archive of other women’s testimonies from the Colombian civil war, while improvisers’ body movements, voices, and spoken words resonate with these voices. The author suggests how INTIMAL system could act as catalyst for creating new layers in the reconstruction and transformation of embodied memory, opening paths for individual and collective healing of feelings associated to the migratory experience and the armed conflict.

Effects of attack, duration, and frequency on the perceived timing of musical and quasi-musical sounds.

  The perceptual center (P-center) of a sound is typically understood as the specific moment at which it is perceived to occur. Using matched sets of real and artificial musical sounds as stimuli, we probed the influence of attack (rise time), duration, and frequency (center frequency) on perceived P-center location and P-center variability. Two different methods to determine the P-centers were used: Clicks aligned in-phase with the target sounds via the method of adjustment, and tapping in synchrony with the target sounds. Attack and duration were the primary cues for P-center location and P-center variability; P-center variability was found to be a useful measure of P-center shape. Consistent interactions between attack and duration were also found. Probability density distributions for each stimulus display a systematic pattern of P-center shapes ranging from narrow peaks close to the onset of sounds with fast attack and short duration, to wider and flatter shapes indicating a range synchronization points for sounds with slow attack and long duration. The results support the conception of P-centers as not simple time points, but "beat bins" with characteristic shapes, and the shapes and locations of these beat bins are dependent upon both the stimulus and the synchronization task.

  Virtuosity in music performance is often associated with fast, precise, and efficient sound-producing movements. The generation of such highly skilled movements involves complex joint and muscle control by the central nervous system, and depends on the ability to anticipate, segment, and coarticulate motor elements, all within the biomechanical constraints of the human body. When successful, such motor skill should lead to what we characterize as fluency in musical performance. Detecting typical features of fluency could be very useful for technology-enhanced learning systems, assisting and supporting students during their individual practice sessions by giving feedback and helping them to adopt sustainable movement patterns. In this study, we propose to assess fluency in musical performance as the ability to smoothly and efficiently coordinate while accurately performing slow, transitionary, and rapid movements. To this end, the movements of three cello players and three drummers at different levels of skill were recorded with an optical motion capture system, while a wireless electromyogrphy (EMG) system recorded the corresponding muscle activity from relevant landmarks. We analyze the kinematic and coarticulation characteristics of these recordings separately and then propose a combined model of fluency in musical performance predicting music sophistication. Results suggest movements from expert performers' are characterized by consistently smooth strokes and scaling of muscle phasic coactivation. The explored model of fluency as function of movement smoothness and coarticulation patterns was shown to be limited by the sample size but serves as a proof of concept. Results from this study show the potential of a technology-enhanced objective measure of fluency in musical performance, which could lead to improved practices for aspiring musicians, instructors, and researchers.

  The present study investigates how people move and relate to each other – and to the dance music – in a club-like setting created within a motion capture laboratory. Three groups of participants (29 in total) each danced to a 10-minute-long DJ mix consisting of four tracks of electronic dance music (EDM). Two of the EDM tracks had little structural development, while the two others included a typical “break routine” in the middle of the track, consisting of three distinct passages: (a) “breakdown”, (b) “build-up” and (c) “drop”. The motion capture data show similar bodily responses for all three groups in the break routines: a sudden decrease and increase in the general quantity of motion. More specifically, the participants demonstrated an improved level of interpersonal synchronization after the drop, particularly in their vertical movements. Furthermore, the participants’ activity increased and became more pronounced after the drop. This may suggest that the temporal removal and reintroduction of a clear rhythmic framework, as well as the use of intensifying sound features, have a profound effect on a group’s beat synchronization. Our results further suggest that the musical passages of EDM efficiently lead to the entrainment of a whole group, and that a break routine effectively “re-energizes” the dancing.

  In this chapter, we discuss a computational method that supports the design, revision, and amendment of web e-commerce GUI by finding the optimal placement of interactive elements. The definition of optimal placement is context-specific and it aims at maximizing measurable aspects of the user experience. We compute a visual model of an interface and we compare it against a set of design rules derived from a reference model. The generation of the GUI layout model is unsupervised and based only on image processing techniques. The model is generated exclusively using the browser’s rendering, which is visually presented to users. The comparison rates the GUI against the rules and provides a set of recommendations on how to modify the interface to increase the similarity with the reference model. When multiple reference models exist, we use a classifier to select the appropriate one. To prove this concept, we present a study on e-commerce websites where placement of the checkout button has a significant impact on the online sale process conversion rate. The system identifies nonoptimal placement, and it recommends an alternative position that is likely to improve the conversion rate. The system is implemented as an open-source software, and it currently supports the repositioning of a single interactive element. In the chapter, we discuss a further generalization of this approach to support a larger number of interactive objects in a wider spectrum of scenarios.

  This paper presents a system to tangibly manipulate the virtual patching cords in graphical programming environments, such as Max and Pure Data. The system includes a physical interface, a communication protocol, and a software library, providing physical extension of the graphical programming paradigm. The interface includes a patch bay with connectors representing signal inlet and outlets from the programming environment. When inlets and outlets are connected with patching cords, equivalent virtual connections are created at runtime. The system supports one-to-many and many-to-one connections with different signal combination schemes. The design of the hardware and software components of the current prototype is detailed in the paper, as well as possible use of the system for programming and live performances.

  This article introduces a granular synthesis algorithm in which grains of sound are processed in the frequency domain and combined at spectral level. In particular, each grain contributes to the sound synthesis with its magnitude spectrum only. Phase is reconstructed using spectrogram inversion techniques which support real- time computation. With this method, windowing and overlapping grains of regular size is no longer required. The algorithm presents a large number of parameters available for the dynamic manipulation of the synthetic timbre. Algorithm implementations are detailed in the paper, including comparison with traditional time-domain against the proposed frequency-domain granulation strategies.

  In this article we describe a user-driven adaptive method to control the sonic response of digital musical instruments using information extracted from the timbre of the human voice. The mapping between heterogeneous attributes of the input and output timbres is determined from data collected through machine-listening techniques and then processed by unsupervised machine-learning algorithms. This approach is based on a minimum-loss mapping that hides any synthesizer-specific parameters and that maps the vocal interaction directly to perceptual characteristics of the generated sound. The mapping adapts to the dynamics detected in the voice and maximizes the timbral space covered by the sound synthesizer. The strategies for mapping vocal control to perceptual timbral features and for automating the customization of vocal interfaces for different users and synthesizers, in general, are evaluated through a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods.

  Head movements of groups of participants moving to music allowing for both duple and triple subdivisions were analysed using Recurrence Quantification Analysis. As expected the maximum recurrence rate varied between participant, position in the music, and between groups. The lags of maximum recurrence were only partly corresponding to the metrical levels of the music and syncopated sections confused participants so that they moved to 4/4 rather than 6/8.

  When listening to musicians playing the same pieces of music in different acoustic settings in Stavanger concert hall, the perceived differences were astonishing. However, the measured overall changes in spectrum, level etc., were surprisingly small. Long reverberation of course increases the length of a tone, so that it masks the entrance of the next one, but probably most astonishing was the perceived difference in timbre due to changes of the attack, (also for a first note in a phrase). The paper will discuss general theory of how an “ideal, diffuse field reverberation” influences on attack. The early response of a concert hall, is, however, seldom “diffuse”. The paper will show measurements and simulations (Odeon) of attack with/without early reflections. Methods for measuring attack in concert halls is not as trivial as measuring Rise Time, Steepness etc. for ordinary electronic filters, and alternative approaches like Integrated (Cumulative) Squared Step Response and Spectral Flux is discussed. The importance of attack has been little discussed in concert hall design, but should be more and more important, also because listeners nowadays are used to listening to recordings where any wanted amount of direct sound is mixed with a long and (too?) smooth, non-correlated, (digital) reverberation. It is generally assumed that a fast attack is more brilliant, sounds more like if there are more high frequencies present than a “fade in”. First we must remember that a signal of course preserves it attack best if we just hear the direct sound only. This paper will show how reverberation always smoothens/prolongs the attack and discuss how this affects signals of different lengths, different musical instruments which in itself have slow or fast onset of note, and if it is possible to reduce the smoothening of the attack by early reflections.

  Many common and popular sound spatialisation techniques and methods rely on listeners being positioned in a “sweet-spot” for an optimal listening position in a circle of speakers. This paper discusses a stochastic spatialisation method and its first iteration as implemented for the exhibition HotPocket at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo in2017. This method is implemented in Max and offers a matrix-based amplitude panning methodology which can provide a flexible means for the spatialialisation of sounds.

  This chapter focuses on the links between sound and body motion in music. It can readily be observed that musical sound is produced by body motion and also triggers body motion in many contexts, meaning scholars have an inexhaustible supply of sound-motion bonding available for research. The main challenges here are to get an overview of the different kinds of sound-motion bonding at work in music, and to go deeper into the subjective experiences of sound-motion bonding. To this end, the chapter presents sound-motion bonding in a so-called motor theory perspective on perception, suggesting that whatever humans perceive of sound, motion, and/or visual features is spontaneously re-enacted in our minds, meaning active mental simulation of whatever it is that we are perceiving. This leads to the idea of sound-motion objects, entities that fuse sensations of sound and motion into salient and holistically perceived units in musical experience.

  This exploratory study investigates muscular activity characteristics of a group of audience members during an experimental music performance. The study was designed to be as ecologically valid as possible, collecting data in a concert venue and making use of low- invasive measurement techniques. Muscle activity (EMG) from the forearms of 8 participants revealed that sitting in a group could be an indication of a level of group engagement, while comparatively greater muscular activity from a participant sitting at close distance to the stage suggests performance-induced bodily responses. The self-reported measures rendered little evidence supporting the links between muscular activity and live music exposure, although a larger sample size and a wider range of music styles need to be included in future studies to provide conclusive results.

  The intonation patterns in traditional Norwegian folk songs have been described and measured in various ways for more than a hundred years. This article provides a historical summary of research in this area and introduces a new software for measuring tone heights. This is exemplified through our analysis of an unaccompanied folk song, "Der æ so vent å vestoheio", recorded by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) in 1951, performed by Gro Heddi Brokke (1910–1997) from the valley of Setesdal. The 5th and octave scale degrees stand out as the most stable throughout the tune, with a lot of variation in the thirds, sixths, and even the tonic. In spite of this variation, the performance comes forward as both confident and stable; the varying intonations appear controlled – they are not performer mistakes. Still, our findings suggest that tones of longer duration seem to vary less in intonation than shorter notes. We show how our software can be used in combination with manual analysis, and argue that automated pitch analysis may be useful also in the analysis of larger collections of Norwegian folk music.

  Background Automated detection of pitch in polyphonic music remains a difficult challenge (Benetos et al., 2013). Robust solutions can be found for simple cases such as monodies. Implementation of perceptive/cognitive models have been so far less successful than engineering methods, and in particular machine learning models. One reference model (Klapuri, 2006) preselects pitch candidates based on harmonic summation and searches for multiple pitches through cancellation. Aims The aim was to conceive a model for pitch detection in polyphonic music able to transcribe in details traditional Norwegian music played on Hardanger fiddle, where more than two strings are played at the same time. The new model should be applicable to other types of music as well. Perceptive and cognitive models should guide the improvement of the state of the art. Main Contribution The model is neither based on a machine-learning training on a given set of samples, nor explicitly relying on stylistic rules. Instead, the methodology consists in conceiving a set of rules as simple and general as possible while offering satisfying results for the chosen corpus of music. We follow some general principles of the model by (Klapuri 2006) while introducing new heuristics. We present a new method for harmonic summation that penalises harmonic series that are sparse, in particular when odd partials are absent, as it would indicate that the actual harmonic series is a multiple of the given pitch candidate. Besides, a multiple of a fundamental can be selected as pitch in addition to the fundamental itself if its attack phase is sufficiently distinctive. For that purpose, we introduce a concept of pitch percept that persists over the whole extent of the note, and that serves as a reference for the detection of higher pitches at harmonic intervals. Results The proposed method enables to obtain transcriptions of relatively good quality, with a low ratio of false positives and false negatives. The construction of the model is under refinement. We are applying this method to the analysis of recordings of Norwegian folk music, containing a large part of Hardinger fiddle pieces and a cappella singing. Implications Automated transcription is of high interest for musicology and music information retrieval. This enables for instance to build large corpora of scores for music analysis and opens news perspectives for computational musicology. By attempting to design computer models based on general rules as simple as possible rather than on machine learning, while resulting in a behaviour in terms of pitch detection that comes closer to human capabilities, we hypothesise that the underlying mechanisms thus modelled might suggest general computational capabilities that could be found in cognitive models as well. In the same time, an improvement of the model based on expertise in music perception and cognition is desired. References Benetos et al. (2013).

  In recent decades, we have seen a surge in published work on embodied music cognition, and it is now broadly accepted that musical experience is intimately linked with experiences of body motion. It is also clear that music performance is not something abstract and without restrictions, but something traditionally (i.e., before the advent of electronic music) constrained by our possibilities for body motion. The focus of this paper is on these various constraints of sound-producing body motion that shape the emergent perceptual features of musical sound, as well as on how these constraints may enhance our understanding of agency in music perception.

  Melodic contour, the ‘shape’ of a melody, is a common way to visualize and remember a musical piece. The purpose of this paper is to explore the building blocks of a future ‘gesture-based’ melody retrieval system. We present a dataset containing 16 melodic phrases from four musical styles and with a large range of contour variability. This is accompanied by full-body motion capture data of 26 participants performing sound-tracing to the melodies. The dataset is analyzed using canonical correlation analysis (CCA), and its neural network variant (Deep CCA), to understand how melodic contours and sound tracings relate to each other. The analyses reveal non-linear relationships between sound and motion. The link between pitch and verticality does not appear strong enough for complex melodies. We also find that descending melodic contours have the least correlation with tracing.

  This chapter provides an overview of the concept of groove, investigating musical and sonic components of grooves as well as aspects related to pleasure, process, and affect. It starts out by addressing three distinct general understandings of groove: (1) pattern and performance; (2) pleasure and “wanting to move”; and (3) a state of being. The authors then propose a set of typical (rhythmic) features that seem to be common to a wide range of groove-based styles, exploring five main categories: pulse or regular beat; subdivision of the beat; syncopation; counter-rhythm; and microrhythm. Finally, the chapter presents some viable approaches to the analysis of groove, focusing on swing and anticipated beats in James Brown’s “Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine” (1970), aspects of counter-rhythm in Jackie Wilson’s “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher” (1967), and the extending of beats into beat bins in D’Angelo’s “Left & Right” (2000) and Rihanna’s “Needed Me” (2016).

  Agency is a concept employed widely and in varied ways across interdisciplinary music studies, from the philosophical to the experimental scientific. This article explores some of the theories and methodologies that inform such perspectives, bringing them into conversation with one another. It begins with a conceptual summary juxtaposing the accounts of musical agency that different fields employ and traces their intellectual influences. The article concludes with examples from interviews and fieldwork in contemporary dance club settings that illustrate, but also further complicate, the notion of musical agency.

  During this presentation, Dr. Olivier Lartillot will give an overview of MIRtoolbox - a Matlab application enabling the extraction of a large range of audio and musical descriptions from recordings. MIRtoolbox is designed to be easy to use both for teaching at any level and for advanced research in musicology, signal analysis and music cognition. One initial aim of MIRtoolbox was to study the relationship between musical features and emotions evoked by music. MIRtoolbox focuses on signal-processing-based approaches that offer limited understanding of music. Lartillot is also developing computational methods for the analysis of notated music, starting from motivic analysis and aiming at building a comprehensive framework where audio and score are combined together.

  The focus of my talk is on how various human and instrumental constraints shape musical expression. There can be no doubt that the repertoire of musical expression is vast, as is the variety of musical instruments and associated kinds of human sound-producing body motion. Yet there are obvious constraints on what sounds traditional musical instruments can produce (e.g. a flute cannot sound like trombone, a piano cannot sound like an oboe), and needless to say, also constraints on human sound-producing body motion (e.g. need for breathing, need for rests, limits to speed), engendering constraint-based idioms (easy and well-sounding vs. difficult and not so well-sounding snippets on instruments). This may all seem rather trivial, but the crucial point is to see how constraints are carried into musical expression and strongly influence it, even to the point that we expect such constraints in music. And: that musical expression is constraint-based does not diminish its value; it is rather a testimony to extensive human agency in music. It can be argued that human body motion constraints actually shape salient perceptual features of musical sound, first of all in what we perceive as motion and contour patterns in music, as well as in various details of articulation. Taking constraints into account amounts to a more holistic approach to musical expression by focusing on musical sound as produced by human body motion, or focusing on what I have previously called motormimetic features in musical experience. This perspective is a departure from Western abstract notions of pitch and duration in favor of holistic sound and body motion features in music, a shift of perspective I believe was also a recurrent topic for John Blacking.

  INTIMAL is an interactive system for relational listening, which integrates physical-virtual interfaces for people to sonically improvise between distant locations. The aim is to embrace two key aspects in the context of human migration: the sense of place and the sense of presence. This paper reflects on the use of INTIMAL in a long-distance improvisation between the cities of Oslo, Barcelona and London in May 2019. This improvisation was performed by nine Colombian migrant women, who had been involved in a research process using the Deep Listening® practice developed by Pauline Oliveros. Here we describe the performance setting and the implementation of the first two interfaces of the system: MEMENTO, an “embodied” navigator of an oral archive of Colombian women’s testimonies of conflict and migration; and RESPIRO, a sonification system that transmits and sonifies live, breathing signals between distant locations. We reflect on how the two interfaces facilitated and challenged the improvisers’ listening experiences and connections.

  Selvsagt kan flere kvinner inkluderes i filosofiens historie. Og i musikkens og litteraturens historie. Selvsagt kan historie omskrives, omprioriteres, problematiseres og formuleres på etterskudd og på nytt. Det må den, uavlatelig, uansett. Trodde noen at historien(e) var avsluttet og skrevet i stein, verdifritt, nøytralt og objektivt, uten innslag av interesser og maktkamp, blinde flekker, perspektiver og fortolkning fram til nå? Det har slått meg at jeg jobber på noen av de mest tilbakeliggende saksfeltene som fins når det gjelder kjønnsbalanse. Musikkhistorie, komponisthistorie, litteraturhistorie, filosofiens historie. Orkesterdirigenter, gud bedre. Vis meg et felt hvor mannsdominansen har vært større helt fram til i dag. Lite av dette er naturgitt, for å si det sånn. De mennene som skriver (på Facebook og elsewhere) at vi ser “filosofiens slutt” og “undergang” når man bringer inn andre stemmer, tekster og perspektiver enn de vante og etablerte, oppviser vel ikke nevneverdig bevegelighet i tenkningen. Selv om tenkning altså er temaet de tar opp. Virkningshistorie er ett problem. Kvinnelige bidragsytere som ikke er blitt lest og kommentert av senere tenkere opp gjennom tradisjonen, mangler en virkningshistorie så langt. Sant nok. Så hva gjør man da? Fortsetter å fortie dem av samme grunn? Jeg vil heller si at det er all grunn til å bringe dem inn i debatten jo før jo heller. Fortidens strukturer er et annet problem. Det anføres som et historisk problem at siden kvinner vitterlig ikke fikk bekle lærestoler og professorater, og ikke engang slapp inn på lærestedene, så er det et beklagelig, men uavvendelig faktum at de heller ikke kan ha bidratt. Men det spørsmålet er først og fremst empirisk. Bedre å begynne å lete dem fram, da, enn å la saken ligge. Kvalitet er et tredje problem. Det menes og hevdes at mennene dominerer fordi bidragene deres holder høyere kvalitet enn kvinnenes. Oj. Det er litt av en påstand. Den krever belegg og avprøving fra tilfelle til tilfelle. Igjen er det bare å gå i gang. Bringer man nye tenkere inn, vil de rett som det er kunne påvirke, ikke bare etterfølgerne, men også sine forgjengere, fordi de endrer måten vi blir i stand til å lese forgjengerne på. Dette er Jorge Luis Borges’ gamle poeng. Eksempler? Jeg skal ta ett, fra et uventet felt. Den yngre, kvinnelige dirigenten Elena Schwarz fortolker visse sentrale verker innen vestlig kunstmusikk mer nyansert og raffinert enn de fleste andre dirigenter jeg kjenner til i nåtiden. Perspektivet er et annet. Ikke hørt om henne? Da lurer jeg på hva det kan komme av. For dårlig kvalitet? Neppe. Kjør debatt.

  En smertelig nyhet møtte oss på søndag. Dirigenten Mariss Jansons er gått bort. Han ble 76 år. Han døde i går natt i St. Petersburg. Mariss Jansons (1943–2019) var en større dirigent enn vi kanskje helt fikk med oss i Norge. Han vil bli stående. Han ruver helt der oppe i de blå høyder. Som musiker hadde han dette romantiske suget som kunne løfte interpretasjonen til det helt usedvanlige. Årene hans med Oslo-Filharmonien (1979–2002) ble avgjørende for OFO, for byen og for norsk musikkliv, med ringvirkninger langt forbi det øyeblikket da han sa opp og reiste, etter en forgjeves kamp for å skaffe orkesteret bedre arbeidsbetingelser og et bedre konserthus. Han var en musikalsk idealist som fikk det for trangt i provinsbyen Oslo. Gjennom sin inngående lytting og grundighet, sin særegne blanding av intuisjon og arbeid, inspirasjon og disiplin, løftet han orkesteret til et nivå det aldri tidligere hadde vært i nærheten av. OFO ble i en periode omtalt som et av de seks beste orkestre i verden. Med Jansons’ hjerteproblemer har vi lenge fryktet for hans livslengde. Under Puccinis La Bohème holdt han på å dø på podiet i Oslo i 1996. Hans far døde faktisk av hjertet, på podiet under en konsert med Hallé Orchestra. Mariss var sønn av den latviske dirigenten Arvid Jansons og hadde jødisk mor, sangeren Iraīda Jansons. Han ble født under krigen, mens moren lå i dekning utenfor Riga, i skjul for nazistene. Som ung studerte han fiolin, bratsj, klaver og direksjon i Leningrad, og kom til å samarbeide tett med Jevgenij Mravinskij, som ledet Leningrad-filharmonien i femti år, 1938–88, og som preget orkesteret i den grad at han – som det ble sagt – kunne få hele fiolingruppen til å spille et svakere pianissimo enn én enkelt fiolin kunne makte alene! Jansons ble selv en orkesterbygger, og det er derfor dobbelt sørgelig at han senere så seg nødt til å forlate Oslo. I Wien studerte Jansons direksjon med Hans Swarowsky, som ledet dirigentklassen ved Wiener Musikakademie helt fra krigens slutt i 1946 og til 1975. Swarowsky var elev av komponistene Schönberg og Webern, og ble lærer for en dirigentgenerasjon som omfattet Zubin Mehta, Claudio Abbado, Ivàn Fischer, Peter Schneider og Giuseppe Sinopoli. Det er litt av noen navn. Med sine idealer om "Werktreue", presisjon og saklighet var Swarowsky preget av etterkrigstidens nøkterne stil, i en reaksjon mot det man oppfattet som "romantiske" overdrivelser med subjektiv frasering og tempofluktuasjoner. Jansons gikk imidlertid videre og ble en langt mer betydelig dirigent enn sin lærer, mykere og varmere i klang og mer fleksibel i artikulasjon. Han lærte mye under studiene med Herbert von Karajan i Salzburg, men ble helt og fullt seg selv. Mariss ble selv lærer for en rad med vesentlige dirigenter, blant annet latviske Andris Nelsons, og la stor intensitet i arbeidet med yngre musikere og ungdomssymfoniorkestre i Europa. Mariss Jansons kom aldri tilbake til Oslo-Filharmonien, heller ikke i jubileumsåret 2019. Han sa nei. Skuffelsene fra sist lå nok tungt over ham. Han var sjefdirigent for Pittburgh SO fra 1997, og fra 2004 overtok han Concertgebouworkest i Amsterdam etter Riccardo Chailly. Samtidig ble han sjefdirigent for Sinfonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks i München (i tradisjonen fra Eugen Jochum, Colin Davis, Rafael Kubelik og Lorin Maazel). Han ledet dermed to av de viktigste orkestrene i Europa, og han gjorde det på et nivå som ytterligere styrket deres posisjon. Så hva har vi med oss videre, fra Mariss-epoken i norsk musikkliv? Vi har ettervirkningene, med et OFO som fortsatt er et orkester i toppklasse. Nivået har flere av etterfølgerne til Jansons ivaretatt og videreutviklet, ikke minst Jukka-Pekka Saraste, etter mitt syn. Vi har Jansons’ plateinnspillinger med OFO. De rager, ikke minst innen hans sentrale repertoar, med Tsjajkovskij, Sjostakovitsj, Mahler. Orkesterkonserter er

  The aim of this dissertation is to understand the role of embodiment in melodic contour perception. In other words, it studies how we move our bodies in response to music. Melodies play an important role in both speech and music. This thesis consists of two parts, the first part being a background section discussing the theoretical motivations and methods used. The second part is a collection of four articles. Each of the articles explores a dimension of melodic contour: verticality, motion metaphors, body use, and multi-feature correlational analysis. The empirical work is based on sound-tracing as an experimental paradigm. This brings together the multimodal mappings of pitched sound, gestural imagery evoked by these sounds, and defining geometries of these contours. Two sound-tracing experiments were conducted, resulting in three datasets that have been used in the analyses. In the experiments, participants listened to 16 melodies from four different genres: operatic vocalise, jazz scatting, North-Indian singing, and Sámi joik. The participants listened to each melody twice, the first time standing still, and the second time ``drawing'' the sounds in the air. Infrared motion capture was used to record the participants' body movement, and the analysis is focused primarily on the movement of their hands. The sound analysis is based on signal processing algorithms for pitch detection and methods for contour representation. Cross-correlation of the data is performed using a range of methods from statistical hypothesis testing to canonical correlation analysis. The analysis reveals that although there is a natural propensity to describe pitches in terms of the vertical dimension, the experimental data do not clearly show such an association. Average profiles of movement responses to melodies have an arch-like representation, regardless of the contour of the melody. Spatial height is associated more with relative pitch in the melodic context traced, rather than an absolute pitch scale. In addition, movement indicating metaphoric representation of sound was used more often by participants.

  We present an approach to analyzing the motion capture data ofrowers using bivariate functional principal component analysis(bfPCA). The method has been applied on data from six elite rowersrowing on an ergometer. The analyses of the upper and lower bodycoordination during the rowing cycle revealed significant differences between the rowers, even though the data was normalized toaccount for differences in body dimensions. We make an argumentfor the use of bfPCA and other functional data analysis methods forthe quantitative evaluation and description of technique in sports.

  Virtuosity in music performance is often associated with fast, precise, and efficient sound-producing movements. The generation of such highly skilled movements involves complex joint and muscle control by the central nervous system, and depends on the ability to anticipate, segment, and coarticulate motor elements, all within the biomechanical constraints of the human body. When successful, such motor skill should lead to what we characterize as fluency in musical performance. Detecting typical features of fluency could be very useful for technology-enhanced learning systems, assisting and supporting students during their individual practice sessions by giving feedback and helping them to adopt sustainable movement patterns. In this study, we propose to assess fluency in musical performance as the ability to smoothly and efficiently coordinate while accurately performing slow, transitionary, and rapid movements.

  KUD-skolen og avdeling for medier og kunst inviterer til frokostseminar 8. november klokken 09:00-09:45 med Anja Nylund Hagen om musikkeksport. Hagen er postdoktor ved Institutt for musikkvitenskap, Universitetet i Oslo, og har nylig gjennomført en omfattende spørreskjemaundersøkelse og dybdeintervjuer med musikkbransjeaktører om deres eksportarbeid. Hun vil presentere resultater tilknyttet aktørenes arbeidsvirkelighet i den digitale musikkbransjen og deres opplevde utfordringer og muligheter. Undersøkelsen legger vekt på betydningen av nye medier og hvordan digitaliseringen spiller inn på arbeidsvirkelighet, forutsigbarhet, nye kompetanseområder, tillits- og maktforhold, samspill med staten, inntektsstrømmer, forhandlingsmuligheter, samarbeidspartnere osv. Undersøkelsen er gjennomført som en del av forskningsprosjektet MUSEC (Music on demand: Økonomi og opphavsrett i en digitalisert kultursektor), som er finansiert gjennom KULMEDIA-programmet i Norges forskningsråd. Hagens postdoktorstilling er en del av forskningprosjektet MUSEC og hennes forskningsinteresser omfatter skjæringspunktet mellom nye medier og musikk. Hun har tidligere vært tilknyttet forskningsprosjektet Sky & Scene, også ved UiO, hvor hun avla sin doktorgradsavhandling om bruk av musikkstrømmetjenester. Presentasjonen holdes noen uker før oppstart av eksportprogrammet Musikk ut i verden, som Innovasjon Norge gjennomfører i samarbeid med Music Norway, på oppdrag fra Kulturdepartementet. Eksportprogrammet er det fjerde i rekken. Det har vært gjennomført tilsvarende program for dataspill og arkitektur - og Litteratur ut i verden pågår enda.

  The term "Superstar Economy" refers to a theory stating that while digitaliization creates opportunites, it also demands vast resources in order to be a part of it. Will the digital economy give us less diversity? Or does it simply provide easier access to music, literature and movies, making art more profitable? For Arts Council Norway, this is a debate that needs both a national and a European perspective. And we start off by exploring two interesting aspects of the Norwegian cultural sphere: Despite being a small country with a small language market, a large number of books are written and published in Norway. Authors, publishers, bookstores and other industry actors are important for the scope and quality of production and distribution of Norwegian literature. But if the literature is to develop as it should, there must also be an active and committed literature policy. Meanwhile, Norway is a leading country when it comes to digitalization and streaming music. Recent numbers show that 9 out of 10 Norwegians are streaming music, and more than half are paying for these services. In 2017, 85 % per cent of sales revenue for recorded music in Norway came from streaming. Can the Norwegian literary policies and the Norwegian digital consumption of culture learn anything from each other? And what can we learn from the main players in the cultural sector themselves? In Frankfurt on October 18th, we will hear from Norwegian and international experts, writers and academics.

  This presentation will summarize findings from my research into music-related micromotion. This includes the smallest human motion that we can perform and perceive, typically measured at at a scale of millimeters. We have carried out a series of studies of such micromotion, in which people have been asked to try to stand still on the floor, both in silence and with (musical) sound. By measuring their bodily responses with different types of motion tracking and physiological devices we find a number of similarities between people's quantity and quality of motion. This has been the starting point for exploring the use of micromotion in musical practice, what I call 'sonic microinteraction'. This includes standstill performances with interactive sound and light. It also includes several installations with our ensemble of self-playing guitars. These are hybrid instruments, using digital sound-production through acoustically resonating guitars. They are controlled through inverse microinteraction, meaning that you need to focus on standing still to produce any sound. This challenges our traditional understanding of the affordance of musical instruments, and opens for both artistically and scientifically interesting perspectives.

  What is an instrument in our increasingly electrified world? In this talk I will present a set of theoretical building blocks from my forthcoming book on "musicking in an electronic world". At the core of the argument is the observation that the introduction of new music technologies has led to an increased separation between action and sound in musical performance. This has happened gradually, with pianos and organs being important early examples of instruments that introduced mechanical components between the performer and resonating objects. Today's network-based instruments represent an extreme case of a spatiotemporal dislocation between action and sound. They challenge our ideas of what an instrument can be, who can perform on them, and how they should be analyzed. In the lecture I will explain how we can use the concepts of action-sound couplings and mappings to structure our thinking about such instruments. This will be used at the heart of a new organology that embraces the qualities of both acoustic and electroacoustic instruments.

  In any given listening situation space is, in some form, always present. Our understanding of this space is given by our listening position and our ability to relate sounds to our knowledge of context, representation and cause. Th is paper seeks to discuss the spatiality of sounds, through our listening to the space in sound and not just to the space the sounds occupy. In both stereo and multichannel reproduction contexts we perceive sounds as existing in space but seldom consider the spaces which are occupied in the sound.The proximal differences between sounds and the perceived distances in the listening perspectives, not just angular differences in panning, are important criteria for understanding the contexted spatiality a sound contains. A sound is an energy and a soundfield is a collection of energies, a release of energy changes a space or creates a new space (Lefebvre 1991). Perception of the closeness of a sound is greatly dependent on the space contained by that sound, as it is perceived by a listener. Th is perception is affected by apparent width and timbre. For example, a wide sound may be perceived as being close, and through particular techniques applied in music production, the distance relations between sounds can be manipulated beyond what would be possible in direct interaction with sound sources. In musical contexts, this can in turn affect the ways in which the music is interpreted. Rather than just seeing a microphone as a static point which samples a signal at specific intervals, the microphone, like the speaker, is a window into space which gives us access to the spaces in the sounds. A hard left /right pan in a stereo soundfield provides us with a clear spatial boundary in which sounds exist, but this space is extended by the spatiality of the sounds themselves.

  Although rhythm is often discussed in purely auditory terms, mounting evidence from the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience suggests that rhythm is fundamentally a domain-general phenomenon grounded in motor action. By drawing parallels between music and rowing – a sport characterized by repetitive rhythmic patterns and synchronized joint action – I illustrate how biological motion principles underlie the parameters of rhythm in both disciplines, and how interpersonal synchronization relies on shared timing models, multisensory cues, and predictive processes. Furthermore, I will demonstrate how conceptual and theoretical tools developed in the context of musical rhythm – such as non-isochronous meter (i.e., a cyclic pattern of beats with unequal durations) – can contribute to conceptualizing and understanding rhythm cognition in the context of rowing as well. Finally, I will discuss how accurate sensorimotor synchronization can facilitate experiences of ‘flow’ in both disciplines – especially in the face of increasing rhythmic complexity.

• Vuoskoski, Jonna Katariina (2019). Accounting for inter-individual variance in perceived and felt emotions. Vis sammendrag

  The emotional meanings conveyed by music do not exist in a vacuum, but emerge from the interaction between the music, the listener, and the context/situation. In addition to cross-cultural variability in musical forms and the emotional connotations associated with them, there is also significant inter-individual variability within cultures with regard to emotional responding. In this talk, I will present empirical evidence from two studies that demonstrate the extent of inter-individual variability – in terms of both perceived and felt emotion – in Finnish listeners. Study 1 explored the contribution of Big Five personality traits and current mood to individual differences in emotions perceived in music. Sixty-seven participants listened to 50 short film music excerpts, and rated their perceived emotions using five discrete emotion scales (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, and tenderness). Both personality traits and mood states were significantly correlated with biases in emotion perception, but partial correlations and moderated multiple regression analyses revealed that current mood accounted for most of the inter-individual variance in ratings of perceived emotion. Study 2 investigated individual differences in emotional reactivity to music at the level of both self-reports and physiological responses. Furthermore, the role of trait empathy in these individual differences was explored. Fifty-four participants heard 10 1-minute music excerpts representing five different emotions (sad, happy, scary, tender, and neutral). Participants rated their liking and the overall intensity of their emotional response, and described their felt emotion using 7 rating scales. In addition, participants’ electrodermal activity and heart rate variability were measured. Correlation analyses revealed that trait empathy was associated with the intensity of emotional responses both at the level of self-report and physiological responses. Furthermore, the patterns of correlations were consistent across both levels. The implications of the findings will be discussed in terms of the benefits of investigating individual differences and measuring multiple components of emotion.

  Timing is an important aspect of groove music. The relationship between musicians’ body motion in performance and timing is, however, as yet not well understood Timing and drummers’ movement: A novel methodology for performance analysis . In the present study we recorded movement of 20 drummers performing the same rhythmic pattern under four different timing instructions: natural, on- the-beat, laid-back and pushed. Motion capture data synchronized to audio recordings of their performances were collected as part of a larger experimental project. This presentation focuses on our method for analyzing motion capture data. The aim of the analysis is a) to identify common movement strategies for sub-groups of drummers, and b) to identify strategies for achieving the four different timing conditions across drummers. In this presentation we focus on the movement of the left arm, and particularly on the preparation and rebound phase of the snare strokes. To explore and analyze the data without statistically testing a priori hypotheses about specific performance techniques, we combined existing practices from different disciplines into a novel methodology. First, we reduce the data into motion templates (Müller and Röder 2006). We design a set of 22 binary features to describe the movement of the arm. Second, we perform a phylogenetic analysis of the motion templates, in which we identify clusters within each timing condition. A comparison between clusters reveals differences in the coordination of the participants’ movements that correspond to the different performance strategies. Preliminary analysis has shown distinct clusters within all timing conditions that differ in specific features. For instance, we observe three groups of participants within the “natural” condition that differ in the flexion of the wrist and elbow. Besides our findings we will present the details of the methodology, which can be applied in the study of music-related movements beyond the scope of this project.

• Sioros, George; Madison, Guy; Cocharro, Diogo; Danielsen, Anne & Gouyon, Fabien (2019). Does moderate syncopation increase groove? The answer depends on the syncopation pattern. Vis sammendrag

  Recent research points towards a relation between syncopation and groove (Witek et al., 2014; Madison and Sioros, 2014), i.e. the pleasurable sensation of wanting to move to music (Janata et al., 2012). We aimed at confirming the inverted-U shape relation found in previous research, using more controlled music examples (MEs). To this end, we asked twenty-seven participants to listen to and rate variations of MEs that only differ in their syncopation. Ten short funk and rock loops consisting of drums, bass and keyboards were algorithmically transformed (Sioros and Guedes, 2014) to 1) remove the original syncopation, and 2) introduce various amounts of new syncopation: 25% (roughly equal amount to the original), 50%, and 70%. The MEs were produced using professional sound samples. The participants rated the groove of the original versions higher than all the transformed versions, including the version with a similar amount of algorithmic syncopation, while the 50% and 70% versions had the lowest scores. Statistically significant differences were observed between 1) the original and the rest, and 2) the 25% and the 50% and 70%, but not between the 25% and the deadpan. To understand this result, we compared the original and algorithmic syncopation. Our findings include: 1) The algorithmic syncopation is relatively uniformly distributed. In contrast, the original versions have less syncopated drums with almost no syncopated hi-hats. Certain metrical positions in the drums are never syncopated, e.g. the back-beat snare. 2) The original syncopation forms more and longer cross-rhythmic or metrically shifted patterns, as often encountered in the funk style (Danielsen, 2006). 3) The micro-timing alignment of sounds differs between versions. This experiment concludes that groove is increased by syncopation, however, not every pattern will do. Our analysis calls attention to the complex nature of syncopation and its possible dependence on structural factors.

• Sioros, George; Madison, Guy; Cocharro, Diogo; Danielsen, Anne & Gouyon, Fabien (2019). The relation between groove and syncopation is intricate – not any pattern will do. Vis sammendrag

  Groove is the pleasurable sensation of wanting to move to music. A series of studies has attempted to understand the function of this phenomenon by examining its relation to physical properties in the sound signal and found, among other things, that groove increases at optimal levels of syncopation. Here, we tested if the amount of syncopation is the critical factor, rather than the specific pattern of notes that are syncopated. To this end, our algorithm transformed ten short funk and rock loops consisting of drums, bass and keyboards to 1) remove the original syncopation, and 2) introduce various amounts of new syncopation: 0%, 25% (similar amount to the original), 50%, and 70%. All the examples were produced using profes- sional sound samples and were rated by 27 listeners. The ratings were highest for the original versions, next highest for the 0 and 25% versions, and lowest for 50% and 70% versions, with statistically significant differences between the original and the rest, and the 25% and the 50% and 70%, but not between the 0% and 25%. Apparently, our algorithm failed to recreate the groove of the original music. Comparing the origi- nal and algorithmic syncopation we found: (1) The algorithmic syncopation is relatively uniformly distributed across the instruments, while the original versions have less syncopated drums with almost no syncopated hi-hats, and the back-beat snare never syncopated. (2) The original syncopation forms more and longer cross-rhythmic or metrically shifted patterns, as often encountered in the funk style. (3) Differences in the micro-timing alignment of sounds. In conclusion, groove is greatly increased by syncopation; although, not necessarily by syncopation per se, as the results point to several structural factors that may be important and can be further tested and add to our understanding of the functional properties that underlie the sensation of groove.

  Computational models for the analysis of tempo, metre and the tracking of beats have made significant progress during the last decades. I first present a synthetic overview of the state of the art. Up to recently, classical approaches were based on signal processing, with the integration of heuristics based on assumptions related to music perception and cognition. The standard approach is to first detect percussive events through the establishment of an accentuation curve, followed by periodicity detection, and the construction and tracking of meter. Because rhythmic emphasis can develop on various metrical levels across time, it is necessary to track the metrical structure on multiple levels. I show the benefit of such detailed analysis with the use of a model I have developed, and which obtained one of the highest grades in the MIREX tempo estimation competition. New approaches based on deep learning have achieved impressive progress and have largely surpassed signal-processing-based approached (including mine) in the recent yearly editions of MIREX. One limitation of these approaches, at least in their current stages, is that they appear as black boxes able to imitate a particular behaviour for which they were trained on particular examples. As such, they hardly offer insight on the cognitive mechanisms underlying the perception of metre. I will discuss the limitations of signal processing approaches and highlight the complexity of the musical structure. Pulsation in music is not always expressed through a periodic repetition of percussive events, but may emerge from a subtle propagation of motivic or harmonic structures. I present an approach under development that models the different components of music analysis and combine them altogether, extending further Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s vision. Motivic repetition, which plays a core role, is also one of the dimensions that is the most difficult to model and automate.

  Exploring the role of the body as an interface that keeps memory of place, INTIMAL physical-virtual “embodied” system, integrates body movement, voice, and an oral archive, as an artistic platform for relational listening (Alarcón, 2019), using networking technologies for telematic sonic improvisatory performances, in the context of geographical migration. INTIMAL has been informed by a case study with nine Colombian migrant women in Europe, listening to their migrations, and to an oral archive with testimonies of conflict and migration by other Colombian migrant women.1 The first two interfaces created for the system: MEMENTO (a spoken word retrieval system), and RESPIRO (for transmission and sonification of breathing data), have been tested by the research participants in a telematic sonic improvisatory public improvisatory performance between the cities of Oslo, Barcelona, and London. In the performance, proposed as a shared dream, a “complex narrative” (Grishakova & Poulaki, 2019) emerged, for both the improvisers and the audiences. In this paper, we describe the conditions of the narrative environment, and the embodied expressions that emerged—including body movement, voice, spoken word, and breathing—establishing connections between gendered migration, and Colombian conflict. We reflect on how distributed improvisatory embodied expression, and relational listening through technological mediations, aids the process of collective remembering (Wertsch, 2001), in a complex context of conflict and migration.

  Hva betyr kreativitet og originalitet, og hvem definerer disse begrepene? Hva er de konkrete konsekvensene av mangel på en konseptuell klarhet på kreativitet og originalitet? Dette er spørsmålene som interesserer forskergruppen MASHED. For å forsøke å besvare disse spørsmålene skal forskergruppen se på Mashups. Mashups er en musikksjanger som kombinerer og redigerer annen innspilt musikk til et nytt, og avhengig av hvem du spør, unikt lydspor. Dette kan gjøres ved å kombinere vokalspor fra én innspilling med instrumentalspor fra en annen til en A+B-Mashup, eller ved å kombinere vokal- og instrumentalspor fra flere innspillinger til en Megamix-Mashups. Sosiale media plattformers implementering av algoritmiske reguleringsverktøy har fornyet den langvarige debatten om hvordan en slik musikalsk lånekultur kan forsvares juridisk og hvordan dette påvirker ytringsfriheten.

• Hui, Alan (2019). Platform regulation of mashup makers in a post-Brexit UK. Vis sammendrag

  Over one decade ago, Lawrence Lessig described how the Apple had removed mashup maker Girl Talk’s album Night Ripper from iTunes (Lessig, 2008). He yearned for copyright laws that encouraged Girl Talk and other participants in Read/Write culture to create and re-create the culture around them. Instead, he saw copyright wars reinforcing Read/Only culture, espousing a system where professionals create and amateurs consume. He argued that Read/Write culture could only flourish under different regulation. A decade on, Night Ripper is now available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music and other platforms. And mashups, GIFs and memes are commonplace across platforms. But have we come close to the system Lessig envisioned? This paper considers the regulatory landscape that mashup makers traverse on contemporary music platforms. It considers platform regulation in the context of UK copyright laws and the uncertain relationship between UK and EU law in post-Brexit UK. It sketches the scale and scope of regulation of mashups, as part of Read/Write culture. It observes the rise of UK regulation ostensibly targeting Read/Only culture, and questions whether mashups have again been the innocent bystander. Recent UK copyright enforcement measures include a UK domain registrar suspending the Sowndhaus mashup website (Maxwell 2017), and courts ordering internet service providers to block websites hosting torrents and unauthorised live-streaming. The threat of enforcement also led to Google Search and Microsoft Bing removing copyright-infringing search results under a Code of Practice. The UK has also introduced copyright exceptions for quotation, parody, pastiche and caricature which permit some Read/Write uses. How have these regulatory mechanisms worked in tandem? This paper argues that content ID systems, ostensibly designed to tackle Read/Only infringement, also regulate mashups and other Read/Write culture. Content ID systems such as Zefr and Dubset have become commonplace and influential across music and social media platforms, but received less attention in literature than platforms such as YouTube and Spotify (Vaidhyanathan 2011, Eriksson et al. 2019). It considers how the recently passed EU Copyright Directive may affect music licensing and amplify the role of content ID systems, both in deterring infringement and safeguarding reliance on copyright exceptions. Does the directive mark a change in regulation to ‘licence first, ask questions later’ (Erikson 2019)? If so, how might content ID systems evolve to enable licencing agreements? Alternatively, does the directive establish stronger rights to quote and make parodies, and therefore aid the making of mashups? Finally, the paper adapts Vaidhyanathan’s concept of ‘trust bias’ from search engines to content platforms (Vaidhyanathan 2011). Does the availability of mashups on content platforms contribute to user trust of suggestions, playlists and ranked search results? Should mashup makers and mashup communities trust content platforms, despite concerns over streaming royalties, opaque content moderation outcomes, and the complexity of copyright? With the imminent Brexit or implementation the EU Copyright Directive, I consider possible futures for platform regulation of music. If courts no longer oversee website blocking decisions, or content platforms are required by law to moderate content, how does this affect systems of trust?

  The chain of production, distribution and consumption in the music industries has always been shaped by the technologies available to the markets. Developments in the contemporary music industry must therefore be understood in relation to streaming technology. Just a decade after Spotify launched in Sweden, the Norwegian music industry heavily relies on music streaming services as the mainstream distribution format to reach global markets and new audiences. At the same time, the streaming industry is entailed with new competition, where new types of skills and competences are demanded to interact and negotiate with a greater range of parties under new conditions. This paper stems from a large survey targeting musicians, composers and intermediaries across different genres and functions in the Norwegian music industry, supplemented by in-depth interviews with music industry key persons. The goal is to reveal aspects of how Norwegian music industry partners experience to work with music in the realm of streaming. By using the concept of digital literacy, this paper studies how the ability to take use and make sense of the digital potential of the streaming technology is experienced. The digital literacy of streaming will specifically be explored in relation to datafication, as the concept of how online content and traffic can be tracked and analysed to predict and control activities and royalties in the current digital market flows. The survey shows how datafication has become key in the digital music industry, but also big variations in whom that are taking this currency of data in use. The paper further discusses digital literacy as a concept to address how datafication in the era of streaming seems to create a new dimension of the digital divide, of those who can make sense of and engage with data, and those who can’t.

  It has been postulated that empathy and emotional contagion might be some of the fundamental mechanisms through which music induces emotional responses in listeners. Previous studies have reported correlations between questionnaire measures of trait empathy and self-reported intensity of music-induced emotion (particularly in response to sad and tender music), but it is not yet known whether this association only exists at the level of self-report. us, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between trait empathy and psychophysiological indices of music-induced emotion. Fi y-four participants heard 10 1-minute music excerpts representing ve di erent emotions (sad, happy, scary, tender, and neutral). For each excerpt, participants rated their liking and the overall intensity of their emotional response, and described their felt emotion using 7 rating scales (happy, tender, peaceful, moved, anxious, and energetic). In addition, participants’ electrodermal activity and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured. Trait empathy was measured using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (Davis, 1980). Trait empathy correlated signi cantly with the mean ratings of overall intensity of felt emotion (averaged across all excerpts; r = .29). Trait empathy also correlated with phasic skin conductance activity in response to sad (r = .28) and tender (r = .33) excerpts, and with high- frequency HRV in response to happy excerpts (r = .36; all p < .05). ese results corroborate previous ndings that have associated trait empathy with the self-reported intensity of music-induced emotions, and provide novel evidence of a similar pattern also on the level of psychophysiology.

  In musical performance, the gestures and mannerisms of a musician can have a profound impact on the observer’s experience of the music. In this presentation, we investigate to what degree this holds true when presenting participants silent videos of abstracted movement (stick figure animations derived from motion capture data). [P] A pianist and violinist individually performed four pieces (composed to express sadness, happiness, threat, and peacefulness; Vieillard et al., 2008), each with four different emotional expressions: sad, happy, angry and deadpan. The 32 performances were tracked using optical motion capture. Subsequently, participants (piano group: n = 31; violin group: n = 34) viewed the performances as stick-figure animations and provided ratings of perceived happiness, anger, sadness, and tenderness for each performance. [P] From the 3D motion capture data for each performance, we computed variables based on the movements of the head, torso, shoulders, arms and hands. We computed the average velocity, acceleration and jerk of each direction (x, y, z) as well as the norm of the vectors. We compared these features with the averaged perceptual ratings. [P] Correlation analyses revealed that participants were likely to rate a performer’s intention high on happiness and anger when the movements were high in activity (e.g. quick movements, many changes in directions), while the performances were rated high on sadness and tenderness when the movement were low in activity. For both the pianist and the violinist, no single part of the body stood out as correlating more highly with the perceptual ratings than others. [P] The results support past research that the communication of emotional intentions in a musical performance is possible even when viewing the performances without sound and in an abstracted setting. They also indicate that the visual aspects of a performance are experienced as a single gestalt (as opposed to paying attention to individual parts of the body).

• Vuoskoski, Jonna Katariina & Thompson, Marc Richard (2019). The contribution of visual and auditory cues to the perception of emotion in musical performance. Vis sammendrag

  In musical performance, emotional expression emerges from the interplay between the structural features of the music (i.e., the composition) and the expressive efforts of the performer. Previous research has shown that the body movements and gestures of the performer constitute an important source of expressive information, successfully communicating different expressive intentions to audiences. However, it is still un- known whether visual kinematic information about performers’ movements could also modulate perceived emotions. [P] This study aimed to investigate the relative contributions of auditory and visual cues to the communication of emotion in musical performance. A pianist and a violinist performed four short musical passages (composed to express sadness, happiness, threat, and peacefulness; Vieillard et al., 2008), each with four different emotional expressions: sad, happy, angry, and deadpan. The musicians’ movements were tracked using optical motion capture. [P] A total of 90 participants took part in three perceptual experiments, where they rated perceived emotions using four scales. There were four rating conditions: audio-only, video-only (with point-light animations generated from motion capture data), audiovisual, and time-warped audiovisual. In the time-warped condition, motion capture animations from all four expressive conditions were combined and synchronized with the audio of the deadpan performances. [P] Repeated-measures ANOVAs revealed that participants could accurately recognize emotional expressive intentions based on vi- sual information alone. In the audio-only condition, Type of Composition (mean effect size = .40; generalized eta- squared; Bakeman, 2005) accounted for more variance than Expressive Intention (mean effect size = .17) in participants’ emotion ratings. In the audiovisual condition, the difference between mean effect sizes was reduced (Type of Composition = .36; Expressive Intention = .20), indicating that visual kinematic infor- mation enhanced the perceptual salience of expressive intentions. The time-warped audiovisual condition (where animations with different expressive intentions were paired with deadpan audio) also revealed that visual information could modulate perceived emotions.

• Huron, David & Vuoskoski, Jonna Katariina (2019). On the enjoyment of sad music: Pleasurable compassion theory and the role of trait empathy. Vis sammendrag

  Why do people enjoy listening to nominally sad music? In the first instance, only about half the population reports enjoying sad music (Garrido & Schubert, 2011; Taruffi & Koelsch, 2014). Such individual variability suggests that either culture, experience, and/or personal trait factors play a decisive role in the seemingly paradoxical phenomenon of sad-music enjoyment. Recent experiments implicate trait empathy. Specifically, those listeners who most enjoy sad music typically score high on ”empathetic concern” (or compassion), with nominal ”personal distress” (or commiseration) (Eerola, et al., 2016; Kawakami & Katahira, 2015; Sattmann & Parncutt, 2018; Vuoskoski & Eerola, 2017). That is, when encountering sadness-related stimuli, sad- music lovers are more likely to experience pity or compassion rather than an emotional contagion of evoked sadness or commiseration. The authors review literature implicating compassion as a positively valenced affect. Neuroimagining studies show that altruistic thoughts alone are sufficient to activate regions of the medial forebrain pleasure circuit (Harbaugh, Mayr & Burghart, 2007; Izuma, Saito, & Sadato, 2008). Since compassion is a precursor affect intended to motivate altruistic behaviors, compassion must also be pos- itively valenced. In this regard, the pleasure of compassion conforms to classic research on dopamine function, where over time, dopamine rewards shift from consummatory behaviors to anticipatory behaviors (Berridge & Robinson, 1998; Gebauer, et al., 2012; Weiss, et al., 1993). Overall, Pleasurable Compassion Theory suggests that sad-music lovers experience only moderate levels of “I feel your pain” but high levels of “I feel sympathy for you.” If compassion is a positively valenced affect, then high levels of sympathy, pity, or compassion will produce a broadly pleasurable experience. Finally, Pleasureable Compassion Theory is shown to avoid a number of classic pitfalls identified by aesthetic philosophers when accounting for the paradox of negative emotions in the arts (e.g., Levison, 2013).

  The influence of acoustic stimuli and feedback in sport has been explored as means of optimizing technique, in particular during training. Interactive and adaptive acoustic systems have been evaluated for rowing, with results showing a significant increase in boat velocity. However, assessment of the effects of acoustic feedback and pacing in the technical aspects of rowing is still scarce. Previous studies on the smoothness of the stroke force profile have shown that smoothness metrics can qualitatively reflect movement coordination. In this study, we quantify and compare hand movement smoothness from rowers performing under three acoustic conditions: silence, verbal instructions, and acoustic pacing.

  Due to the affordances of new digital technology and user-generated Internet platforms, we have, during the last decade, witnessed an explosion of remixes, here understood broadly as works based on prior material. One such remix is mashup music, which primarily relies on the editing and combining of recognizable popular songs. In this paper I argue that while the dominating theories of humor and parody are focusing on verbal puns and/or literary texts, they prove useful to the study of audiovisual musical remixes, such as mashups. Mashups often seek to exploit an incongruity between the mashed tracks in a way that associates them despite their divergences. As such, they are often constructed in a manner reminiscent of linguistic jokes as theorized by Raskin (1985), Attardo & Raskin (1991), and Veatch (1998), among others. Yet, the incongruity and congruity/resolution factors are in these audiovisual mashups distributed differently than in literary jokes. I further argue that mashups conforms to the concept of parody as theorized by, among others, Hutcheon (2000) and Rose (1993). I then use mashup music as a lens through which to consider the much-debated relationship between humor and parody.

  INTIMAL is a physical virtual embodied system for relational listening that integrates body movement, oral archives, and voice expression through telematic improvisatory performance in migratory contexts. It has been informed by nine Colombian migrant women who express their migratory journeys through free body movement, voice and spoken word improvisation. These improvisations have been recorded using Motion Capture, in order to develop interfaces for co-located and telematic interactions for the sharing of narratives of migration. In this paper, using data from the Motion Capture experiments, we are exploring two specific movements from improvisers: displacements on space (walking, rotating), and breathing data. Here we envision how co-relations between walking and breathing, might be further studied to implement interfaces that help the making of connections between place, and the feeling of presence for people in-between distant locations.

  Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Teaching Excellence is an integrated and wide-ranging initiative aimed at helping NTNU to achieve its goal to providing education characterized by quality at a high international level. The initiative consists of a portfolio of development measures, with the purpose to develop innovative approaches to learning, teaching and assessment. SALTO (Student Active Learning in a Two campus Organization) is one of the development projects founded for the period 2018-2020. The project is based on a study where the students are divided into two campuses. The aim is to develop effective pedagogy with activity at both campuses at the same time, with particular emphasis on interaction, resource sharing and communication/collaboration. The project aims to allow students and teachers to explore educational, methodological, and technological solutions together. A new joint master's program in "Music, Communication and Technology" (MCT) between NTNU and University in Oslo (UiO), constitutes the framework for the SALTO project. The common pedagogy, technology and shared learning space between the two Universities, is hereafter defined as the Portal. SALTO will utilize the MCT Portal as an arena/living lab to evolve and optimize student active learning scenarios. In this paper, we elaborate on the issues, challenges and potential with three different scenarios, which emerged during the first 6 months of the project: (1) The Opening Ceremony between NTNU and UiO, with a combo of talks and performance. (2) A live Christmas concert connecting two high schools 500 km apart (Trondheim-Oslo). (3) An intense cross-university course with a combo of preparations, lectures and hands-on exercises.

  In this paper we introduce a hardware platform to proto- type interfaces of demanding sonic interactive systems. We target applications featuring a large array of analog sensors requiring data acquisition and transmission to computers at fast rates, with low latency, and high band- width. This work is part of an ongoing project which aims to provide designers with a cost effective and acces- sible platform for fast prototyping of complex interfaces for sonic interactive systems or musical instruments. The high performances are guaranteed by a SoC FPGA. The functionality of the platform can be customized without requiring significant technical expertise. In this paper, we discuss the principles, the current design, and the prelim- inary evaluation against common microcontroller-based platforms. The proposed platform can sample up to 96 analog channels at rates up to 24 kHz and stream the data via UDP to computers with a sub millisecond latency.

  This workshop is intended to discuss how we think about and handle research ethics at NIME conferences. A number of NIME papers involved studies on/with humans. Most of these are on volunteering adults, but there are also examples of studies with children, and with patients. We also see an interest in the community to carry out research on/with animals. NIME’s current ethical guidelines do not take these perspectives into account. The Steering Committee therefore sees the need to develop better and more up-to-date ethical guidelines for the conference. This is to create an increased awareness about the needs for ethical considerations in the community, but also as guidelines for reviewers and conference chairs. NIME is proud of being a very heterogeneous community, covering people working in a large number of different scientific disciplines, artistic practices, as well as R&D in the industry. Needless to say, this breadth of perspectives also means that it is difficult to impose the same guidelines on all studies. NIME researchers also have to abide to a number of different regulations at institutional, regional, national, continental and international levels. The workshop will consist of short introductions to some challenges faced when carrying out research on/with humans and animals, in both scientific and artistic contexts. This will be followed by group-based brainstorming and a final plenary discussion.

The development of more openness in research has been in progress for a fairly long time, and has recently received a lot of more political attention through the Plan S initiative, The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), EU's Horizon Europe, and so on. The NIME community has been positive to openness since the beginning, but still has not been able to fully explore this within the community. We call for a workshop to discuss how we can move forwards in making the NIME community (even) more open throughout all its activities.

  Det er mye som forandrer seg gjennom tid, men ikke alt: 50 år etter at Øivind Brune og Bjørn Krogstad startet den første Sørlandsutstillingen i regi av kunstforeningen i Kristiansand, er Sørlandsutstillingen fremdeles i live. Utstillingen er fremdeles en landsdelsutstilling for Aust-Agder, Vest-Agder og Telemark fylke. Utstillingen baserer seg fremdeles på fri innsendelse. Det søkes fremdeles om deltakelse og juryen velger fremdeles ut hva og hvem som skal være med. Formålet er fremdeles å formidle samtidskunst fra regionen, men det sier seg selv at både kunsten og samtiden har endret seg i løpet av disse 50 årene. 2019 er første gang Sørlandsutstillingen finner sted ene og alene på Lista. Det er første gang utstillingen arrangeres som en landskapsbasert utstilling og det er første og eneste gang utstillingen er 50 år. Når Sørlandets kunstnere skal utfordres på dette med landskap er Lista et godt valg. Det er vanskelig å forestille seg et sted hvor naturen er tydeligere og mer insisterende enn akkurat her. Listalandskapet er unikt. Det er brutalt. Det er mykt. Det er vind. Det er brattere og hardere enn steinene som er hugget av hav. Det er sol, det er idyll. Det er flatere enn havet før det forsvinner i horisonten hvor sørlandet og vår verden slutter. Det er fruktbart og nakent. Det er spor etter krig og ødeleggelse. Det er fullt av liv. Det er i stadig endring, konstant, variabelt. Det må bevares og tas vare på. Det er fylt av galskap, men følger likevel naturens lover. Det er skjørt og trenger omsorg og pleie. Det trenger å bli sett. Det trenger å oppleves. Det trenger at vi tar oss tid. Det trenger at vi beveger oss for å finne le. Det kan ikke forstås, men fortjener likevel at vi gjør vårt beste i å godta nettopp dette. Kunst i landskap er nytt for Sørlandsutstillingen, men det er slettes ikke nytt for Lista. Lista har en lang tradisjon for dette. En tradisjon startet og vedlikeholdt av Alfred Vaagsvold. Sørlandsutstillingens tilstedeværelse på Lista er vanskelig å forestille seg uten denne tradisjonen. Sørlandsutstillingen er stolt av å kunne invitere publikum til å vandre, være og samtidig oppdage både landskapet og kunsten – for første gang, på nytt eller enda en gang. Sørlandsutstillingen vil takke årets jury og samtlige deltakere for en utstilling som er like variert, like mangfoldig og like kontrastfullt som Lista selv.

  I will present the spatiotemporal matrix, a system for categorizing human actions into different spatial and temporal levels: micro, meso, macro. Most regular human actions would be categorized as meso-meso, that is, medium-sized motion within a timespan that fits our short-term memory. Exploring combinations of micro and macro levels in both space and time is challenging, but is also conceptually, practically and artistically interesting. I will show an example of this from the music-dance performance Sverm, and explain how the matrix was informed by my research into the effect of music on the micromotion observed when people try to stand still.

  Cuando migramos, experimentamos un cambio radical en nuestra experiencia multisensorial espacial y temporal en el cuerpo (Ahmed, 2000), que influye en la percepción de nosotros mismos y de los demás. Escuchamos de forma sutil y directa cuestiones de género, clase y estigma cultural a través de voces, idiomas y en el entorno acústico circundante; al mismo tiempo, guardamos la memoria de nuestra tierra natal en sonidos, que reflejan o desafían la experiencia en la tierra extranjera. Durante siete años he explorado el espacio intermedio sonoro, con migrantes de todo el mundo, a través de la práctica de la escucha profunda – Deep Listening (Oliveros, 2005) y la improvisación sonora telemática, con palabra hablada y otros sonidos, abriendo espacios para la expresión y conexión entre migrantes y sus narrativas (Alarcón 2014; 2015; 2016; 2017). La escucha profunda envuelve meditaciones, trabajo de sueños y movimiento corporal energético, que nos invitan a disolver las fronteras creadas por identidades fijas que imponen juicios. La mediación tecnológica fortalece las metáforas de migración, ampliando nuestra percepción del tiempo y el espacio, y la posibilidad de establecer diálogos con desconocidos. El trabajo de investigación se convierte en una estrategia artística para unir fragmentos de memorias de lugar, disolver las barreras culturales, permitiendo la expresión de sentimientos de pérdida, y la generación de empatía. En esta charla, hablaré de INTIMAL, un sistema virtual físico “incorporado” para la escucha relacional que integra movimientos del cuerpo, la palabra hablada y la voz, y archivos orales. Investigando las experiencias de escucha de nueve mujeres migrantes colombianas en Londres, Oslo y Barcelona, ​​en el contexto del postconflicto, he integrado métodos de cognición musical del cuerpo (Jensenius, 2018), para observar la expresión plena de sus “viajes migratorios”, y sus reacciones de escucha a archivos orales con testimonios de otras mujeres colombianas sobre experiencias del conflicto. El sistema estimula la escucha relacional, para fluir entre fragmentos de recuerdos de migración y conflicto, en improvisaciones físicas (co-locadas) y telemáticas, alimentando la sensación de lugar, y la sensación de presencia en la distancia, como una práctica acústica y vibracional (Eidsheim, 2015). Las narrativas emergentes abren vías para expandir espacios corporales y acústicos en la vida cotidiana, mejorando su intervención social y abriendo espacios intermedios en la perspectiva dual de Insider/Outsider.

  This talk presents research from the project Music on demand: economy and copyright in a digitised cultural sector, University of Oslo. The talk discusses aspects of how digitalisation shape and develop the Norwegian music industry, in specific how digital media open up new global markets and increase the potential to reach international audiences with Norwegian music. At the same time, the digital music industry is characterised by new revenue flows, complex copyright issues, and new relationships between music stakeholders and online media. This means that musicians and fans, as well as the cultural content and cultural industries are linked in new ways, through new media. For music industry professionals to exploit these new media opportunities, this means that interaction and negotiation with a greater range of parties under new conditions is required. Inspired by production studies (e.g. Hesmondhalgh and Baker 2011), this project adapts an agenda of studying how different music industry professionals act and interact within a digitalised music industry context. Through a large quantitative survey conducted over the autumn and winter 2018, supplemented with interviews with managements, record labels, publishers and others, the project asks to which extent the digitalisation demands reconfigured activities and competences for those working with music, and how this involves innovation in the music industry. The study aims to give cross-disciplinary insights into Norway’s responses to the global challenges of the digitised cultural industries. The stay in Stockholm and Södertörn University is planned to add comparative aspects to the project with potential to enrich and fortify the conclusions. Despite Norway’s status as an early adopter of digital music technology, Sweden’s position as a big global player and the host of well-established international publishing houses and the global streaming-giant Spotify, makes it interesting to compare central aspects of the two neighbouring, yet very different global music markets.

  Open Science is on everyone’s lips these days. There are many reasons why this shift is necessary and wanted, and also several hurdles. One big challenge is the lack of incentives and rewards. Underlying this is the question of what we want to incentivize and reward, which ultimately boils down to the way we assess research and researchers. This is not a small thing. After all, we are talking about the cornerstone of people’s careers, whether an inspiring academic gets a job, promotion, and project funding.

  Musikkstrømmetjenester, sosiale medier og innsikt fra digitale plattformer er sentralt i dagens musikkdistribusjon og musikkproduksjon, men hvordan erfares den digitale virkeligheten for musikkbransjens aktører? Dette får vi svar på når resultater fra en stor spørreundersøkelse fra forskningsprosjektet MUSEC (UiO) for første gang presenteres. Omtrent 600 musikkbransjeaktører på tvers av sjangere, roller og virksomheter har deltatt i spørreundersøkelsen, som ble avsluttet i januar 2019. Resultatene viser hvordan musikkbransjen erfarer digitaliseringen med vekt på musikkeksport, endrede pengestrømmer, forhandlingsmuligheter og behovet tilskuddsordninger. Et funn viser for eksempel at 9 av 10 mener de som styrer strømmetjenestes spillelister har stor makt i dagens musikkbransje. Slik avdekker studien hvordan organisering, makt- og tillitsforhold også forskyves i en musikkbransje som blir stadig mer digital og global.

  In this installation we explore how six self-playing guitars can entrain to each other. When they are left alone they will revert to playing a common pulse. As soon as they sense people in their surroundings they will start entraining to other pulses. The result is a fascinating exploration of a basic physical and cognitive concept, and the musically interesting patterns that emerge on the border between order and chaos.

• Vuoskoski, Jonna Katariina (2019). Being moved by music: A prosocial emotional response?. Vis sammendrag

  Musical engagement (music-making, listening and dancing) involves and fosters a number of processes that are associated with empathy, such as emotional contagion, embodied resonance, entrainment, and social bonding. One example of such a process is the feeling of ‘being moved’ – a powerful, rewarding experience often accompanied by chills, tears, and a sense of connection. In the past few years, ‘being moved’ has attracted increasing research interest as a distinct emotional response with prosocial functions and motivations – also in the context of the arts (e.g., Wassiliwizky et al., 2015; Eerola et al., 2016). ‘Being moved’ is typically characterized as a mixed or predominantly positive emotion, with joy and sadness as its main ingredients. In the context of music listening, feelings of being moved are closely related to empathic personality traits, and have been found to mediate the enjoyment of sad music (Vuoskoski & Eerola, 2017). Building on empirical evidence from my recent work, I will argue that the experiences of ‘being moved’ in the context of music listening are inherently social responses with prosocial motivations and functions.

  The MiningSuite is a free open-source and comprehensive Matlab framework for the analysis of signals, audio recordings, music recordings and music scores (and soon video, and more to come later) under a common modular framework. The MiningSuite adds a syntactic layer on top of Matlab, so that advanced operations can be specified using a simple and adaptive syntax. This makes the Matlab environment very easy to use for beginners, and in the same time allows power users to design complex workflows in a modular and concise way through a simple assemblage of operators featuring a large set of options. The MiningSuite is an extension of MIRtoolbox, a Matlab toolbox that has become a reference tool in the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) research and academic community.

• Lartillot, Olivier (2018). MIRtoolbox 1.7.1. Vis sammendrag

  MIRtoolbox offers an integrated set of functions written in Matlab, dedicated to the extraction from audio files of musical features such as tonality, rhythm, structures, etc. The objective is to offer an overview of computational approaches in the area of Music Information Retrieval. The design is based on a modular framework: the different algorithms are decomposed into stages, formalized using a minimal set of elementary mechanisms. These building blocks form the basic vocabulary of the toolbox, which can then be freely articulated in new original ways. These elementary mechanisms integrates all the different variants proposed by alternative approaches - including new strategies we have developed -, that users can select and parametrize. This synthetic digest of feature extraction tools enables a capitalization of the originality offered by all the alternative strategies. Additionally to the basic computational processes, the toolbox also includes higher-level musical feature extraction tools, whose alternative strategies, and their multiple combinations, can be selected by the user. The choice of an object-oriented design allows a large flexibility with respect to the syntax: the tools are combined in order to form a sets of methods that correspond to basic processes (spectrum, autocorrelation, frame decomposition, etc.) and musical features. These methods can adapt to a large area of objects as input. For instance, the autocorrelation method will behave differently with audio signal or envelope, and can adapt to frame decompositions.

• Lartillot, Olivier & Jensenius, Alexander Refsum (2018). SoundTracer. Vis sammendrag

  Discover traditional Norwegian music by drawing gestures with your iPhone or iPad. First draw a gesture by moving your iPhone or iPad up and down, to indicate ascending and descending melody. A simple sound is played while you move your device, its pitch gets higher when you move up, and gets lower when you move down. You can also indicate the beginning of a new note by moving abruptly the phone up or down (a blue vertical line indicates the note position). It is also possible to indicate a particular note without indication of pitch by performing a quick movement down and up (a red vertical line indicates the note position). Once you have terminated your gesture (by tapping once), the piece of music that contains the melodic gesture closest to your gesture is presented. The title and genre of that piece of music is indicated, as well as the performer and the district in Norway where it comes from. A melodic curve of the specific melodic gesture from the song is displayed below your own gesture. The matching between your gesture and the melody is based on a temporal alignment of their contours: the ascending parts of your gesture is aligned with the ascending parts of the melody, and same for the descending parts. The temporal note locations you have specified (bleu and red vertical lines) are also tentatively aligned with corresponding note changes in the melody. Some parts may be skipped, and are shown in red in the curves. When the music is played, a cursor moves throughout both curves so that you can follow the music while looking at the gestures. SoundTracer uses Apple's ARKit technology, solely in order to precisely track the location of your iPhone or iPad. For that reason, there is no actual Augmented Reality, and the camera is solely used to improve the precision of the tracking, without displaying the actual frames of the camera. For the moment, the catalogue of music is composed of around 50 pieces, and only the initial part of the melody is considered. The catalogue includes a few tunes played on the traditional Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, and songs sung a cappella. SoundTracer will be progressively improved with more music. SoundTracer is an innovation project led by Alexander Refsum Jensenius, supported by the University of Oslo and developed in collaboration with the National Library of Norway.

  In the first part of this talk, I will give a short and broad overview of the MiningSuite, a Matlab toolbox that combines sound, music and gesture analysis. I will give a quick tour of the various types of sound and music analyses that can be carried out using the toolbox, covering a large range of musical dimensions such as timbre, rhythm, harmony or structure. The MiningSuite, integrating previous toolboxes such as MIRtoolbox and MIDI toolbox, can be used both for the analysis of audio recordings and of “symbolic” representations such as MIDI files. I will also present the current integration of motion capture and gesture analysis (from the MoCap Toolbox), as well as other sensor data such as breathing. The benefit of articulating these different types of analyses into a single framework will be demonstrated. In the second part, I will present a project aimed at automatically extracting melodic gestures from a catalogue of folk music recordings from the National Library of Norway. While melodic lines can be easily extracted from a cappella songs, the task is more challenging for other types of music such as Hardanger fiddle music. In such cases, we need to automatically transcribe the recordings and track melodic voices throughout the counterpoint of each composition. I will also present an iPhone app that enables to draw a gesture in the air with the phone and to find pieces of music from the catalogue that is characterised by a similar musical gesture.

  In this talk I will share my experience in creating telematic sonic performances using long-distance bi-directional transmission of sound through the Internet: a mediation that strengthens metaphors of migration and dislocation. From this experimental, compositional and collaborative art practice, inspired by Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening, my art research has evolved into the creation of INTIMAL: an embodied physical virtual system for relational listening. INTIMAL interrelates body movement, vocal expression, memory and sense of place in a telematic system, expanding the technical possibility of ‘streaming sound’ to the one of ‘sensing vibrations’, in the distance. The system is being informed by a group of Colombian Migrant Women living in three European cities, involved in a fieldwork that uses Deep Listening and Embodied Music Cognition methods. INTIMAL is using technologies that augment and inter-relate feelings, body movements, and vocal expression in migratory contexts, for people to playfully improvise their migratory journeys, finding connections with themselves and others, physically and virtually, opening paths for healing.

  How to connect experiences that make of listening a collective dynamic and transformative practice in the midst of subjective experiences? This lecture will introduce the concept of relational listening as it is being nourished in the research project INTIMAL: a physical-virtual system that explores the body as an “interface” for keeping and transforming the memory of place in migratory contexts. The lecture will review practices and theories of listening as a multidisciplinary contemporary practice that connects us with our surroundings and will link it to the exploration of sonic “in-between” spaces. These spaces manifest on the experiences of the body, memory, dreams, migration and telematics, which expand the perception of ourselves in the world, and the world that inhabits us.

  Between April and May 2018, nine Colombian migrant women coming from the cities of Barcelona, London and Oslo had the opportunity to creatively share their listening experiences of migration. Their deep immersion in listening to their migratory journeys – through their bodies, dreams, voices, languages and surrounding environments – is informing the design of the system INTIMAL. The first month of working with the nine women was realized through online meetings, interrelating dreams, migrations and virtuality. After this initial month, we all met in Norway to engage in two full days of Deep Listening practice. We counted on the dedicated support of Deep Listening body facilitator Sharon Stewart, who co-led the retreat with project leader Ximena Alarcón, at the art center Glasslåven in the city of Gran. Our shared verbal silence, the performance of environmental dialogues, the connections to the earth through early morning walks, the exploration of inner geographies, and improvisations with voice and language opened spaces for each of the participants for respectful and powerful sharing as well as creative expressions. These were rooted in common, diverse and opposite perspectives, which helped us to achieve needed acoustic spaces within our cultural diversity and shared history of conflict. Each woman developed an individual repertoire which was expressed as a sonic improvisation of their migratory journeys. This also opened the space for each participant to listen to the testimonies of other Colombian migrant women (collected by the Commission of Truth, Peace and Reconciliation of Colombian Women in Diaspora) and interrelate it with her own story through free body movement, voice and words. The entire experience was registered through different media, spatialised and closed microphone sound, and technologies of Motion Capture and bio-feedback devices in the MOCAP lab at the Department of Musicology at the University of Oslo. Colleagues at RITMO, IMV – UiO supported the MOCAP Lab experiments: Victor Evaristo González Sánchez and Ulf A S Holbrook. The Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, supported the use of the Google Hangouts platform for large group communication.

  Industry in change: cultural labour in a globalised and digitalised music industry The use of digital media has changed the ways in which music is produced and distributed. Following, the revenue base for music has also changed, and both music and money circulate differently. Several recent music industry reports (e.g. IFPI and Music Norway) describe economic growth and optimism in the sector. In Norway this is evident in strengthened ambitions for international distribution of Norwegian music, and in increasing employment numbers of music industry professionals, working with music in different roles. The music market is entailed with new opportunities, but also new competition. Music distribution via the internet means that geographical boundaries are less important, and the opportunity to reach audiences abroad is vast. To exploit the new media opportunities, however, also abilities, skills and strategies to interact and negotiate with a greater range of parties under new conditions is demanded. Artists, producers, copyright holders, song writers and other music professionals have to face changing industry dynamics and market structures. The traditional music industry companies, networks, power relations, roles and hierarchies seem to be at flux. In parallel, the digital turn of the music industry has exposed a vulnerability of artists and industry professionals when confronted by new media technology with a global reach (NOU 2013). In this context, the music industry as a workplace is also changing, but how and to which degree, is underexplored. This paper therefore asks what practices and activities are regarded as key among music industry professionals when the goal is to reach international markets and audiences with music. Inspired by production studies (Hesmondhalgh and Baker 2011), the study adapts an agenda of studying how workers in different professions act and interact within digitalised music industry contexts, and what they achieve or fail to achieve. Using survey methodology supplemented by case studies and interviews with industry professionals, the study will account for broad perspectives from both artists, managements, record labels, publishers and others. The study expects to find patterns of cultural labour in a growing music industry that include professional interplays and relationships between both humans and digital media. With an assumption that investment areas, core competences, and professional network thinking have to be adjusted according to the market logics of social media, streaming services and online distribution models, the study aims to display how tasks and practices, but also bargaining power and other power relations, are distributed among traditional workers and companies in the music industry. Issues related to the changed roles of copyright in a digitalised and globalised music industry are also expected to be central, as well as the distinctive negotiation of music as art and commodity. The study is part of a larger research project MUSEC (Music Media, Economy, Copyright) University of Oslo, funded by the Norwegian Research Council, researching how values and rights are negotiated and evaluated when music is produced and distributed via digital media.

  This course gives an introduction to analysis of signals, audio recordings, music recordings and music scores with MiningSuite - a free open-source Matlab toolbox. The MiningSuite is a free open-source Matlab toolbox for the analysis of signals, audio recordings, music recordings and music scores (and soon video and motion trajectories) under a common modular framework. The MiningSuite adds a syntactic layer on top of Matlab, so that advanced operations can be specified using a simple and adaptive syntax. This makes the Matlab environment very easy to use for beginners, and in the same time allows power users to design complex workflows in a modular and concise way through a simple assemblage of operators featuring a large set of options. The MiningSuite is an extension of MIRtoolbox, a Matlab toolbox that has become a reference tool in the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) research and academic community. In this course, you will first learn the basic principles of the MiningSuite’s syntax, which enables you to quickly design analytic processes, from simple operators to complex pipelines. You will get a broad overview of the analytic tools available, from basic signal processing to auditory modelling to music analysis. All concepts will be explained from the ground up, so that no prior expertise in signal processing or in music analysis is required.

  Musical imagery can be defined as having experiences of music in our minds in the absence of any physically present sound. Experiences of 'tunes in the head' seem to be quite common among both musically trained and untrained people, but one of the pressing questions here is how such images are triggered, or what is the engine of musical imagery in our minds. One possible answer could be that mental images of sound-producing body motion may trigger images of sound in our minds, e.g. images of hitting motion triggering images of drum sound. In this presentation, the focus will be on motor elements of musical imagery, in particular on how fragments of combined sound and motion, what may be called sound-motion objects, are triggered by motion impulses in our minds.

  A map is a representation of a space, which we use to navigate a terrain and to get from where we are to where we're going, or, at least to where we think we're going. This abstract discusses experimentation as mapping and how the process of composition can be understood as a “cascade of mappings.” With references to both Bruno Latour and Martin Heidegger, the aim is to present a sonic ontology of composition with reference to the process of experimentation. A map, or mapping, is well-known to anyone who works with electronic music, electroacoustic music, computer music and pretty much any other genre or form of music, be it the notated score or the assignment of data to one or more parameters. At the heart of any creative expression is a process of experimentation, either as a means to explore a medium, a material, a place, feeling, idea, structure. Yet the process of experimentation might not be manifested until the completion of several iterations of a process and the analysis of the outcome of the experimentations. Musical experimentation is the process of investigating, listening, understanding, reworking and challenging sounds. In the process of investigating a sound object, we take a curiosity and inquisitive nature about the sounds we hear and turn the investigation towards the inner, innate properties of the sound as it manifests itself to us. Then, our focus will naturally turn from the inner workings and properties of this sound object back to an understanding of the sound as it is contextually experienced. Bruno Latour talks of a “cascade of inscriptions” as a descriptor of objective scienti fic knowledge, meaning that there isn’t an isolated mapping between a model and a representation. Instead there are multiple mappings of correspondence between the different maps. A map (a scienti fic visualization) is only meaningful when presented in context to other mappings - theories, instruments, texts, charts, equations and citations etc. Each inscription is one step in a chain of reasoning to reach a conclusion. Remove any one element from this cascade of inscriptions and it looses its meaning because it looses its context. If you remove an inscription, the process becomes meaningless. Each of these inscriptions are one step in a chain of reasoning to reach a conclusion, which creates a cascade of meaningful mappings that as a whole presents, preserves and conveys a meaningful content. New mappings are based on previous mappings, which creates new forks and again creates new mappings. The cascade inscriptions of Bruno Latour forms a good basis for understanding how we work to attain knowledge in (any) field. But further, to gain a deeper understanding of the ontological characteristics of these mappings we cannot ignore Heidegger's important contribution to ontology. Heidegger went contra Husserl, who insisted in his method of bracketing objects to such a degree that we can only focus on the phenomena which appears to us in consciousness. Heidegger realized that, in fact, almost all of our perception happens in the unconscious. A map, with its mapping, is always belonging to other mappings. We can combine any number of mappings to create new mappings, as such, we create sounds consisting of a cascade of sounds, we can combine any number of sounds to create new sounds.

  The event seeks to analyse the following questions: to what extent do the divisions between labels, distributors, and stores still obtain after the internet? Do notions of 'major', 'independent', and 'DIY' still carry the same descriptive and analytical meaning in light of self-publishing platforms like Bandcamp, or do we need new concepts to capture the ways in which popular, unpopular, fringe and underground musicians move between institutions and fields? How should we theorise the complex relations between musical media - CD, vinyl, cassette tape, streaming - in contemporary popular musics, and what roles do institutions play in mediating these relations? Are platform-based musical institutions more labile and transitory than their bricks-and-mortar precursors, or is this view now outdated in the age of the 'normal internet'? With the 'gig economy' ascendent--a concept derived from musical labour that is today used to capture the precarity of 21st century work--analysing musical labour and its supporting institutions seems more important than ever. Does musical work serve as barometer for current labour conditions?

I will discuss about the current state of the art, in particular the limitations of computational approaches so far, the technical challenges, and how I propose to transcend the current limitations. Practical applications of this area of research will be discussed, such as retrieval of musical queries in databases, automated identification (of genre, composer, etc.) or music performance and generation.

  Workshop: Listening To Migration Sentralen/Gymsalen 14/9, 11 – 15 Free Entry, including refreshments Artistic research project INTIMAL invites everyone interested to a one-day workshop dedicated to listening deeply to traces of human migration. Led by Ximena Alarcón Diaz, participants will carry out sonic meditations involving breathing, body movement, dream awareness and voice expression. Participants are invited to explore in-between sonic spaces through the actions and to connect with individual memories and collective migratory journeys. Inspired by Pauline Oliveros’s Deep Listening practice, combined with Embodied Music Cognition methods, this INTIMAL workshop explores the role of the body as a medium that carries a memory of place. The project is developed by Ximena Alarcón Diaz at RITMO (Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion), Department of Musicology, University of Oslo. The workshop has a capacity of 15 and is open to all comers. Free Pre-registration here is required by 3 September: http://bit.ly/2nC7QSy Produced in collaboration with INTIMAL. Ultima Context is supported by Norsk Komponistforening, Fritt Ord and Bergesenstiftelsen.

• Alarcón Diaz, Ximena (2018). INTIMAL: Migrant Women's Sonic Statements of Presence. Vis sammendrag

  Departing from the fieldwork of the art research project INTIMAL, and reflecting on studies of gender, emotions, embodiment and migration (Brooks & Simpson, 2013; Ahmed, 2000), listening, language and voice studies (Oliveros, 2005; Choi, 2017; Cavarero, 2005; El Haouli, 2014) this paper suggests how listening and improvisatory mediated telematic performance (Alarcon, 2014), become key relational processes opening paths for women to explore identities, and heal feelings of loss, while augmenting their sense of space and acoustic presence. INTIMAL is a physical-virtual embodied interactive system that explores the body as an “interface” that keeps memory of place in migratory contexts, and through the practice of telematic sonic improvisatory performance. In the historical context of Colombian post-conflict and European diaspora, the research analyses the embodied acoustic experiences of nine Colombian migrant women living in Barcelona, London and Oslo, following their creative and personal healing process as they engage in a Deep Listening process (Oliveros, 2005) to their surroundings, language, voice, and silences, through memories and dreams (Lewis, 2005), and listening body (Gold, 2008), meeting physically and using internet-mediated communication. In the process, they also respond to an oral archive of testimonies from the Commission of Colombian Women in Diaspora (2017) with experiences rooted in the Colombian conflict. The resulting narratives have been recorded through Embodied Music Cognition methods (Jensenius, 2018), looking at individual agency and togetherness. Thus, the paper highlights how listening and expression processes through body movement, language and voice, free and technologically mediated improvisatory physical-virtual performance, help in the unfolding of layers of historical and cultural memory of conflict, including gendered violence (Thomas, 2006; Tolton, 2011; Tolton, 2014), as women move from a sense of place to the creation of a sense of presence (and telepresence) (ISPR, 2000), through individual and collective statements of presence.

  Gender inequalities have long been documented within and across different music spaces. Yet whilst there has been an emphasis on equality as an issue of quantitative representation, or ‘more equal’ numbers of binary genders, inequalities still persist. Furthermore, intersectional feminist critiques have indicated that quantitative, binary measures tend to privilege white, cisgendered bodies, whilst post- and de-colonial approaches have argued that radically reforming patriarchal and colonial institutions, including greater appreciation of geopolitics, mean thinking beyond issues of quantitative representation within institutions. This panel aims to demonstrate how emerging work within cultural and gender studies can help to develop new questions around aesthetics and music practice, in tandem with analyses of intersectionally gendered inequalities. Through exploring the affective dimensions of gender, ontological questions of gendered subjectivity(/ies) and the gendered structuring of material music environments, it aims to offer affirmative strategies for studying, analysing and transforming gender inequalities in relation to music.

• Gadir, Tami (2018). Musical “Quality” over Gender Equality? When Culture Clashes with Law. Vis sammendrag

  My proposed presentation addresses the disparities between the legal and the cultural: on the one hand, equality legislation enacted through formalised workplace policies; on the other, the everyday cultural and political attitudes inscribed into musical practices. I use the case of Musikkfest, Oslo, and a recent history of gender equality in Norway, to show how the rhetorics of postfeminism, individualism, and meritocracy affect musicians who are not male and not white. This aligns with current, global, populist backlashes against so-called political correctness. I further critique the profoundly gendered ideas of “talent” or “skill” in the discourses of music practitioners. Providing further examples of DJs from around the world, I show how such paradigms currently dominate music cultures as much as they do world politics. Overarchingly, I critique the ways that such paradigms are woven into musical aesthetic judgements that, in effect, validate discriminatory practices.

  Head movements of groups of participants moving to music allowing for both duple and triple subdivisions were analysed using Recurrence Quantification Analysis. As expected the maximum recurrence rate varied between participant, position in the music, and between groups. The lags of maximum recurrence were only partly corresponding to the metrical levels of the music and syncopated sections confused participants so that they moved to 4/4 rather than 6/8.

  This exploratory study investigates muscular activity characteristics of a group of audience members during an experimental music performance. The study was designed to be as ecologically valid as possible, collecting data in a concert venue and making use of low-invasive measurement techniques. Muscle activity (EMG) from the forearms of 8 participants revealed that sitting in a group could be an indication of a level of group engagement, while comparatively greater muscular activity from a participant sitting at close distance to the stage suggests performance-induced bodily responses. The self-reported measures rendered little evidence supporting the links between muscular activity and live music exposure, although a larger sample size and a wider range of music styles need to be included in future studies to provide conclusive results.

  In the past few years, the emotion commonly labelled ‘being moved’ has attracted increasing research interest in the context of the arts (e.g., Wassiliwizky et al., 2015; Eerola et al., 2016). ‘Being moved’ is typically characterized as a mixed or predominantly positive emotion, with joy and sadness as its main ingredients. In the context of music listening, feelings of being moved have been found to mediate the enjoyment of sad music (Vuoskoski & Eerola, 2017). However, little is known about the time course of such experiences. The aim of the present study was to investigate continuously rated experiences of ‘being moved’ in response to music, and how these experiences relate to perceived sadness, happiness, and beauty. 415 participants took part in a pre-registered online experiment where they heard 7 moving music excerpts (3 sad, 3 happy, and 1 neutral; duration 121-186 s) and continuously rated their experience or perception (1 scale per participant per excerpt). Before analyses, the continuous rating data was averaged (within each song), de-trended, and downsampled. Perceived beauty cross-correlated highly with being moved across all excerpts (CCF0 = .59). Being moved correlated with perceived happiness in both joyfully (CCF0 = .66) and sadly (CCF0 = .52) moving excerpts, but with perceived sadness only in the sadly moving excerpts (CCF0 = .48). An exploratory analysis of computationally extracted musical features revealed partly excerpt-dependent patterns of correlations, but RMS energy and spectral entropy – reflecting changes in loudness and broadness of the frequency range – significantly correlated with being moved across most pieces.
