  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. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance.  ISSN 0096-1523.  45(3), s 402- 418 . doi: 10.1037/xhp0000611 Vis sammendrag

  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.

  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.

  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.

  The relationships between human body motion and music have been the focus of several studies characterizing the correspondence between voluntary motion and various sound features. The study of involuntary movement to music, however, is still scarce. Insight into crucial aspects of music cognition, as well as characterization of the vestibular and sensorimotor systems could be largely improved through a description of the underlying links between music and involuntary movement. This study presents an analysis aimed at quantifying involuntary body motion of a small magnitude (micromotion) during standstill, as well as assessing the correspondences between such micromotion and different sound features of the musical stimuli: pulse clarity, amplitude, and spectral centroid. A total of 71 participants were asked to stand as still as possible for 6 min while being presented with alternating silence and music stimuli: Electronic Dance Music (EDM), Classical Indian music, and Norwegian fiddle music (Telespringar). The motion of each participant's head was captured with a marker-based, infrared optical system. Differences in instantaneous position data were computed for each participant and the resulting time series were analyzed through cross-correlation to evaluate the delay between motion and musical features. The mean quantity of motion (QoM) was found to be highest across participants during the EDM condition. This musical genre is based on a clear pulse and rhythmic pattern, and it was also shown that pulse clarity was the metric that had the most significant effect in induced vertical motion across conditions. Correspondences were also found between motion and both brightness and loudness, providing some evidence of anticipation and reaction to the music. Overall, the proposed analysis techniques provide quantitative data and metrics on the correspondences between micromotion and music, with the EDM stimulus producing the clearest music-induced motion patterns. The analysis and results from this study are compatible with embodied music cognition and sensorimotor synchronization theories, and provide further evidence of the movement inducing effects of groove-related music features and human response to sound stimuli. Further work with larger data sets, and a wider range of stimuli, is necessary to produce conclusive findings on the subject.

  Sound and music computing (SMC) is still an emerging field in many institutions, and the challenge is often to gain critical mass for developing study programs and undertake more ambitious research projects. We report on how a long-term collaboration between small and medium-sized SMC groups have led to an ambitious undertaking in the form of the Nordic Sound and Music Computing Network (NordicSMC), funded by the Nordic Research Council and institutions from all of the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden). The constellation is unique in that it covers the field of sound and music from the “soft” to the “hard,” including the arts and humanities, the social and natural sciences, and engineering. This paper describes the goals, activities, and expected results of the network, with the aim of inspiring the creation of other joint efforts within the SMC community.

Vis sammendrag

  This article describes the design and construction of a collection of digitally-controlled augmented acoustic guitars, and the use of these guitars in the installation \textit\{Sverm-Resonans\}. The installation was built around the idea of exploring `inverse’ sonic microinteraction, that is, controlling sounds by the micromotion observed when attempting to stand still. It consisted of six acoustic guitars, each equipped with a Bela embedded computer for sound processing (in Pure Data), an infrared distance sensor to detect the presence of users, and an actuator attached to the guitar body to produce sound. With an attached battery pack, the result was a set of completely autonomous instruments that were easy to hang in a gallery space. The installation encouraged explorations on the boundary between the tactile and the kinesthetic, the body and the mind, and between motion and sound. The use of guitars, albeit with an untraditional `performance’ technique, made the experience both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Many users reported heightened sensations of stillness, sound, and vibration, and that the `inverse’ control of the instrument was both challenging and pleasant.

  We evidently have features at different timescales in music, ranging from the sub-millisecond timescale of single vibrations to the timescale of a couple of hundred milliseconds, manifesting perceptually salient features such as pitch, loudness, timbre , and various transients. At the larger timescales of several hundred milliseconds, we have features such as the overall dynamic and timbral envelopes of sonic events, and at slightly larger timescales, also of various rhythmic, textural, melodic, and harmonic patterns. And at still larger timescales, we have phrases, sections, and whole works of music, often lasting several minutes, and in some cases, even hours. Features at these different timescales all contribute to our experience of music, however the focus in the present chapter is on the salient features of what has been called sonic objects, meaning on holistically perceived chunks of musical sound in the very approximately 0.5 − 5 s duration range. A number of known constraints in the production and perception of musical sound as well as in human behavior and perception in general, seem to converge in designating this timescale as crucial for our experience of music. The aim of this chapter is then to try to understand how sequentially unfolding and ephemeral sound and sound-related body motion can somehow be transformed in our minds to sonic objects.

  This chapter presents an overview of some methodological approaches and technologies that can be used in the study of music-related body motion. The aim is not to cover all possible approaches, but rather to highlight some of the ones that are more relevant from a musicological point of view. This includes methods for video-based and sensor-based motion analyses, both qualitative and quantitative. It also includes discussions of the strengths and weaknesses of the different methods, and reflections on how the methods can be used in connection to other data in question, such as physiological or neurological data, symbolic notation, sound recordings and contextual data.

  There can be no doubt that we often experience correspondences between different sense modalities in music, such as between sound, vision, motion, and touch (just to mention the most prominent ones). This is evident in dance and other kinds of music-related body motion, and also reflected in listeners' innumerable accounts of visual associations with music, and in the ubiquitous use of visual metaphors for musical sound such as "rough", "smooth", "narrow", "broad", etc. In short, it should not be controversial to say that music is a multimodal form of art, that music involves a number of sensations in addition to pure sound. But more precisely how different sense modalities are activated, and how they interact in musical experience, still presents us with a number of unanswered questions. In our research, we have been pursuing the idea of what we call "motormimetic cognition", meaning an incessant mental simulation of sound-related body motion in music perception, primarily of assumed sound-producing body motion (e.g. hitting, stroking, bowing, blowing), but also of various kinds of sound-accompanying body motion (e.g. dancing, walking, gesticulating). We regard such mental simulation of body motion as applicable to most features of music, and we believe motormimetic cognition also can translate between different modalities, for instance that mental simulation of motion can translate between sound and visual images in musical experience. We thus believe motormimetic cognition can be the basis for a systematic research effort on feature mapping between different modalities in music, by way of studying both musicians' and listeners' body motion trajectory shapes and/or posture shapes in music-related contexts. In this chapter, we shall present basic principles of motormimetic cognition and demonstrate how it is relevant for work with new technologies and in multimedia art. Starting out with a review of timescales in our experiences of sound and motion, we shall present a rudimentary taxonomy of sound-motion categories, proceeding in a top-down manner from some global, salient features down to a fairly large number of detail features. This should enable us to have a versatile and flexible conceptual apparatus, as well as a collection of practical tools (using available technologies for sound and motion research), that will allow us to explore our aesthetic and affective images of sound and motion in music, hopefully also contributing to bridging the gaps between quantitative and qualitative approaches in research.

  In this paper, we report on a free-hand motion capture study in which 32 participants ‘traced’ 16 melodic vocal phrases with their hands in the air in two experimental conditions. Melodic contours are often thought of as correlated with vertical movement (up and down) in time, and this was also our initial expectation. We did find an arch shape for most of the tracings, although this did not correspond directly to the melodic contours. Furthermore, representation of pitch in the vertical dimension was but one of a diverse range of movement strategies used to trace the melodies. Six different mapping strategies were observed, and these strategies have been quantified and statistically tested. The conclusion is that metaphorical representation is much more common than a ‘graph-like’ rendering for such a melodic sound-tracing task. Other findings include a clear gender difference for some of the tracing strategies and an unexpected representation of melodies in terms of a small object for some of the Hindustani music examples. The data also show a tendency of participants moving within a shared ‘social box’.

  Background: Previous evidence suggests that the variability of the spatial center of infant movements, calculated by computer-based video analysis software, can identify fidgety general movements (GMs) and predict cerebral palsy. Aim: To evaluate whether computer-based video analysis quantifies specific characteristics of normal fidgety movements as opposed to writhing general movements. Methods: A longitudinal study design was applied. Twenty-seven low-to moderate-risk preterm infants (20 boys, 7 girls; mean gestational age 32 [SD 2.7, range 27–36] weeks, mean birth weight 1790 grams [SD 430g, range 1185–2700g]) were videotaped at the ages of 3–5 weeks (period of writhing GMs) and 10–15 weeks (period of fidgety GMs) post term. GMs were classified according to Prechtl’s general movement assessment method (GMA) and by computer-based video analysis. The variability of the centroid of motion (CSD), derived from differences between subsequent video frames, was calculated by means of computer-based video analysis software; group mean differences between GM periods were reported. Results: The mean variability of the centroid of motion (CSD) determined by computer-based video analysis was 7.5% lower during the period of fidgety GMs than during the period of writhing GMs (p = 0.004). Conclusion: Our findings support that the variability of the centroid of motion reflects small and variable movements evenly distributed across the body, and hence shows that computer-based video analysis qualifies for assessment of direction and amplitude of FMs in young infants.

  The focus of this chapter is on how our notions of shape in music emerge from experiences of sound-producing body motion such as hitting, stroking, bowing, shaking or blowing. Sound-producing body motion is seen as organized around postures at salient moments in the music, around so-called key-postures, and as making continuous trajectories between these key-postures. It is suggested that our experiences of making and/or seeing such key-postures and continuous trajectories in sound-producing body motion link the sonic and visual elements in music, meaning that body motion strongly contributes to our notions of shape in music.

  Since 2012 I compose telematic sonic performances using long-distance bi-directional transmission of sound through the Internet: a mediation that strengthens metaphors of migration and dislocation. I am interested in the situations of connection and disconnection that are created and in the ‘in-between’ sonic spaces, which defy predictability. In the performances, geographical migrants participate as well as other people with interest in the experience of cultural dis-location. I invite them to work with spoken word and vocal expression and pre-recorded or acoustic sounds, as driving forces for their exchange. With this work my intention is the exploration of sonic spaces that support the search for sense of place, healing the contradictory feelings associated with the migratory experience. Here, I am reflecting on this creative process, and the aesthetics produced as the result of the interactions between people, through improvisatory sound practice when listening and performing in the distance, and the mediation of networking technologies.

  This paper describes an experiment in which the subjects performed a sound-tracing task to vocal melodies. They could move freely in the air with two hands, and their motion was captured using an infrared, marker-based system. We present a typology of distinct strategies used by the recruited participants to represent their perception of the melodies. These strategies appear as ways to represent time and space through the finite motion possibilities of two hands moving freely in space. We observe these strategies and present their typology through qualitative analysis. Then we numerically verify the consistency of these strategies by conducting tests of significance between labeled and random samples.

  Pitch and spatial height are often associated when describing music. In this paper we present results from a sound tracing study in which we investigate such sound–motion relationships. The subjects were asked to move as if they were creating the melodies they heard, and their motion was captured with an infra-red, marker-based camera system. The analysis is focused on calculating feature vectors typically used for melodic contour analysis. We use these features to compare melodic contour typologies with motion contour typologies. This is based on using proposed feature sets that were made for melodic contour similarity measurement. We apply these features to both the melodies and the motion contours to establish whether there is a correspondence between the two, and find the features that match the most. We find a relationship between vertical motion and pitch contour when evaluated through features rather than simply comparing contours.

  A musical texture, be that of an ensemble or of a solo instrumentalist, may be perceived as combinations of both simultaneous and sequential sound events. However, we believe that also sensations of the corresponding sound-producing events (e.g. hitting, stroking, bowing, blowing) contribute to our perceptions of musical textures. Musical textures could thus be understood as multimodal, with features of both sound and motion, hence the idea here of sound-motion textures in music. The study of such multimodal sound-motion textures will necessitate collecting and analyzing data of both the produced sound and of the sound-producing body motion, thus entailing a number of methodological challenges. In our current work on sound-motion textures in music, we focus on short and idiomatic figures for different instruments (e.g. ornaments on various instruments), and in this paper, we present some ideas, challenges, and findings on typical sound-motion textures in drum set performance. Drum set performance is particularly interesting because the often very complex textures are produced by one single performer, entailing a number of issues of human motion and motor control.

  The perception of musical meter is fundamental for rhythm production and perception in much music. Underlying structures such as pulse, meter, and metrical subdivisions are often described as successive points in time. This paper investigates whether experienced musical meter may not only include such points in time, but also trajectories between the points–that is, metrical shapes. Previous studies have pointed out that there seems to be a relationship between musical meter and periodic body motion like foot tapping, head nodding and dancing. This paper investigates musical meter in music styles with an intimate relationship with dance, and whether metrical points and trajectories can be understood by investigating performers’ periodic body motion. Two motion capture studies form the empirical basis of this paper; first, a percussionist and a dancer performing Brazilian samba; second, a fiddler and two dancers performing Norwegian telespringar. The analysis showed that it seemed to be a relationship between the periodic fluctuation in audio amplitude and the performers’ periodic foot motion on sixteenth note level in samba. Furthermore, motion analysis revealed similar periodic shapes in both percussionist and dancer foot motion. In telespringar there seemed to be a relationship between the metrical beat level and the fiddler’s foot stamping. In addition, the beat duration pattern, as indicated by the fiddler’s periodic foot stamping, seemed to correspond to the shape of the dancers’ vertical body motion. The results support the view that there is a close relationship between musical meter and performers’ periodic body motion. This suggest that the underlying meter may not only include metrical points in time, but that each metrical beat/subdivision duration has a corresponding metrical trajectory with a certain shape. If this is the case, then perceivers’ and performers’ implicit knowledge of the underlying reference structure in samba and telespringar might incorporate knowledge about the underlying metrical shape.

  Background: Absence of fidgety movements (FMs) at 3 months’ corrected age is a strong predictor of cerebral palsy (CP) in high-risk infants. This study evaluates the association between computer-based video analysis and the temporal organization of FMs assessed with the General Movement Assessment (GMA). Methods: Infants were eligible for this prospective cohort study if referred to a high-risk follow-up program in a participating hospital. Video recordings taken at 10–15 weeks post term age were used for GMA and computer-based analysis. The variation of the spatial center of motion, derived from differences between subsequent video frames, was used for quantitative analysis. Results: Of 241 recordings from 150 infants, 48 (24.1%) were classified with absence of FMs or sporadic FMs using the GMA. The variation of the spatial center of motion (CSD) during a recording was significantly lower in infants with normal (0.320; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.309, 0.330) vs. absence of or sporadic (0.380; 95% CI 0.361, 0.398) FMs (P<0.001). A triage model with CSD thresholds chosen for sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 80% gave a 40% referral rate for GMA. Conclusion: Quantitative video analysis during the FMs’ period can be used to triage infants at high risk of CP to early intervention or observational GMA.

  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.

  The paper presents results from an experiment in which 91 subjects stood still on the floor for 6 minutes, with the first 3 minutes in silence, followed by 3 minutes with mu- sic. The head motion of the subjects was captured using an infra-red optical system. The results show that the average quantity of motion of standstill is 6.5 mm/s, and that the subjects moved more when listening to music (6.6 mm/s) than when standing still in silence (6.3 mm/s). This result confirms the belief that music induces motion, even when people try to stand still.

  The attack phase of sound events plays an important role in how sounds and music are perceived. Several approaches have been suggested for locating salient time points and critical time spans within the attack portion of a sound, and some have been made widely accessible to the research community in toolboxes for Matlab. While some work exists where proposed audio descriptors are grounded in listening tests, the approaches used in two of the most popular toolboxes for musical analysis have not been thoroughly compared against perceptual results. This article evaluates the calculation of attack phase descriptors in the Timbre toolbox and the MIRtoolbox by comparing their predictions to empirical results from a listening test. The results show that the default parameters in both toolboxes give inaccurate predictions for the sound stimuli in our experiment. We apply a grid search algorithm to obtain alternative parameter settings for these toolboxes that align their estimations with our empirical results.

  Live music events are increasingly saturated with and mediated via the online and mobile devices of the audience. This article explores patterns in this media use surrounding the Øya festival in Norway and focuses, in particular, on music streaming and social media activity. It presents sta- tistical analysis of listening sessions via the streaming service Wimp and social interactions via the micro-blogging platform Twitter. The juxtaposition of these unique access points allows the analysis to explore the impact of physical live concerts on the digital music experience. It also enables a nuanced examination of how the festival audience responds to different artist segments, from international headliners to local acts. One key finding is that local artists that are positively evaluated via Twitter have the greatest boost in subsequent music streaming. The article argues that in-depth studies of the intersection of live and mediated music are essential to understanding the encounter between artists and audiences that is facilitated by contemporary live music events.

  Abstract: Sound-producing body motion and associated body postures shape musical sound in interaction with musical instruments or the vocal apparatus, making images of such body motion and postures integral to our experiences of music. In this chapter we shall look at some sound-producing body motion features, and focus on how postures at salient moments in time serve as landmarks for both motion and sound, as well as how the fusion of small-scale motion units and sounds by so-called coarticulation creates posture-centered sound-motion objects in musical experience.

  This paper explores sonic microinteraction using muscle sensing through the Myo armband. The first part presents results from a small series of experiments aimed at finding the baseline micromotion and muscle activation data of people being at rest or performing short/small actions. The second part presents the prototype instrument MicroMyo, built around the concept of making sound with little motion. The instrument plays with the convention that inputting more energy into an instrument results in more sound. MicroMyo, on the other hand, is built so that the less you move, the more it sounds. Our user study shows that while such an "inverse instrument" may seem puzzling at first, it also opens a space for interesting musical interactions.

  How do dancers engage with electronic dance music (EDM) when dancing? This paper reports on an empirical study of dancers' pleasurable engagement with three structural properties of EDM: (1) breakdown, (2) build-up, and (3) drop. Sixteen participants danced to a DJ mix in a club-like environment, and the group’s bodily activity was recorded with an infrared, marker-based motion capture system. After they danced, the subjects filled out questionnaires about the pleasure they experienced and their relative desire to move while dancing. Subsequent analyses revealed associations between the group’s quantity of motion and self-reported experiences of pleasure. Associations were also found between certain sonic features and dynamic changes in the dancers' movements. Pronounced changes occurred in the group's quantity of motion during the breakdown, build-up, and drop sections, suggesting a high level of synchronization between the group and the structural properties of the music. The questionnaire confirmed this intersubjective agreement: participants perceived the musical passages consistently and marked the build-up and drop as particularly pleasurable and motivational in terms of dancing. Self-reports demonstrated that the presence and activity of other participants were also important in the shaping of one's own experience, thus supporting the idea of clubbing as an intersubjectively embodied experience.

  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.

  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?

  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.

  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).

  Several empirical studies have investigated the role of tempo on the characteristic non-isochronous long–short duration pattern on eight note level in jazz. Friberg and Sundström (1997) found an approximately linear decrease of swing ratio with increasing tempo and suggest a lower limit to the duration of the short second eight note around 100 ms. Honing and Haas (2008) found that the swing ratio is adapted to the overall tempo, but did not find that it scaled linearly with tempo. Non-isochronous subdivision patterns have also been found in samba groove (e.g., Gerischer, 2006; Haugen, 2016; Naveda, 2011)–that is, at the level of sixteenth notes. In samba groove the fourth sixteenth note seems to be longer in duration than the others. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of tempo on the duration pattern on sixteenth note level in a performed samba groove. Two professional samba performers, a percussionist and a dancer, participated in the study. The analysis in present paper is based on the recorded sound. The percussionist played a samba groove at three different tempi: 133, 100, and 69 BPM. Since all the sixteenth notes are played in this recording, their temporal position could be detected using onset detection. Subsequently, the inter-onset-intervals (IOIs) between the sixteenth notes were calculated and converted into percent values according to their percentage of the beat. The analysis showed significant differences between all the sixteenth note durations in all three tempi–that is, a medium/long–short–medium/short–long duration pattern on sixteenth note level were found at all tempi. In addition, a significant interaction between sixteenth note type and tempo were found. The analysis showed that as the tempo increases the short second sixteenth note became shorter and the long fourth sixteenth note became longer. In the fastest tempo, the short second sixteenth note’s mean duration is only 68 ms, something that is much shorter than 100 ms that has previous been suggested to be the shortest interval that we can hear and perform. The results suggest that the non-isochronous duration pattern on sixteenth note level in samba becomes even more non-isochronous with increasing tempo. In addition, the results indicate that the lower limit for IOIs in samba groove is below 100 ms. REFERENCES: Friberg & Sundström. (1997). Preferred swing ratio in jazz as a function of tempo.

  Introduction Postural stability have been the focus of a number of studies on fall prevention and sports, with an emphasis on walking dynamics1 . Fewer studies have aimed at understanding the influence of sound stimuli in standing posture sway 2. Although the vestibular system plays a fundamental role in the control of postural stability, it has also been shown to be key in embodied cognition processes 3. It is in part through the vestibular system that music activates motor areas in the brain to induce movement, while body movement enhances the cognitive processing of sound and music 3. This study explored the influence of music on postural control by measuring synchronization between body center of mass (COM) sway with music. Methods 7 women (32 ± 4.39 years, 1.73 ± 0.04 m, mean ± SD), and 5 men (29.67 ± 4.63 years, 1.81 ± 0.04 m) participated in the study. Participants were asked to stand still for 6 minutes as they were presented with alternating segments of silence and music. COM movements were measured from the position of a passive marker placed in the midline of the sacrum, recorded using an infrared motion capture system. Radial and vertical COM movements were cross-correlated with the pulse clarity, RMS, and spectral centroid of the stimuli. Results Paired samples t-test revealed differences in COM radial and vertical sway between silent and music conditions to be significant at the 0.05 level. A repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant effect of the stimuli on COM sway (p < 0.05). The effect of the stimuli on the lag of maximum cross-correlation (delay) between COM radial sway and RMS was shown to be significant (p < 0.05). Differences in delay between pulse clarity and COM vertical sway were significant between stimuli (p < 0.05 ). Discussion Results suggest that the effect of RMS in music-induced postural sway might be predominant in the radial plane, with anticipatory behavior observed for stimuli with low RMS. Vertical sway correspondence patterns suggest anticipatory vertical motion to music spectral centroid. A more robust understanding of a range of music features and their links with induced movement could lead to insight into the role of the vestibular and sensory systems in balance control.

  Can we better understand the complex process of human music perception through a standardisation of the quantification of involuntary correspondences between motion and music? Exploring the frequency-domain and time-domain links between sound and motion signals in a systematic manner might encourage international and interdisciplinary collaboration, boosting developments in the field and knowledge transferability.

  Sound and music computing (SMC) is still an emerging field in many institutions, and the challenge is often to gain critical mass for developing study programs and undertake more ambitious research projects. We report on how a long-term collaboration between small and medium-sized SMC groups have led to an ambitious undertaking in the form of the Nordic Sound and Music Computing Network (NordicSMC), funded by the Nordic Research Council and institutions from all of the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden). The constellation is unique in that it covers the field of sound and music from the “soft” to the “hard,” including the arts and humanities, the social and natural sciences, and engineering. This paper describes the goals, activities, and expected results of the network, with the aim of inspiring the creation of other joint efforts within the SMC community.

In this keynote, I will analyse some examples of new sonic expressions within the field of popular music that have been produced through unorthodox application of the digital audio workstation. I will also touch upon new patterns of personalised use and the so-called “prosumption” practices that have arised in the digital era in the form of remix, sample and mashup.

  Stillness Under Tension​ is an ensemble standstill work for Myo gesture control armband and Bela embedded music platform. Humans are incapable of standing completely still due to breathing and other involuntary micromotions. This work explores the expressive space of standing still through an inverse action-sound mapping: less movement leads to more sound. Four performers stand as still as possible on stage, each wearing a Myo armband connected to a Bela embedded sound processing platform. The Myo is used to measure the performers movement, and the muscle activity in their forearm which they can use--both voluntarily and involuntarily--to control a synthesised sound world. Each performer uses one Myo and Bela in a musical space defined by their physical position and posture while standing still.

  This article describes the design and construction of a collection of digitally-controlled augmented acoustic guitars, and the use of these guitars in the installation \textit\{Sverm-Resonans\}. The installation was built around the idea of exploring `inverse’ sonic microinteraction, that is, controlling sounds by the micromotion observed when attempting to stand still. It consisted of six acoustic guitars, each equipped with a Bela embedded computer for sound processing (in Pure Data), an infrared distance sensor to detect the presence of users, and an actuator attached to the guitar body to produce sound. With an attached battery pack, the result was a set of completely autonomous instruments that were easy to hang in a gallery space. The installation encouraged explorations on the boundary between the tactile and the kinesthetic, the body and the mind, and between motion and sound. The use of guitars, albeit with an untraditional `performance’ technique, made the experience both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Many users reported heightened sensations of stillness, sound, and vibration, and that the `inverse’ control of the instrument was both challenging and pleasant.

  Music has the power to influence not only our thoughts and emotions, but also various physiological processes in our bodies. Furthermore, it often encourages physical movement of the listener. While there are numerous studies describing spontaneous psychophysiological responses to music that are linked with emotions, spontaneous body movement to music has became a topic of exploration relatively recently. Mostly, it has been studied in the context of free dance (Burger et al., 2013) or synchronization to musical rhythm while performing repetitive movements such as walking (Styns et al., 2007). But what can we observe if the participants are just standing still? In our project “MICRO - Human Bodily Micromotion in Music Perception and Interaction” we focus on movements so small that they can be unnoticed both by observer and performer, and that can happen involuntarily. This is what we call “micromotion” of the human body. To see how these small movements are affected by music, we develop different experiments using mainly motion capture technology, but also physiological measures such as electromyography (EMG). In this presentation I would like to describe some of our research methods, findings and plans. In one of the experiment paradigms, disguised as the “Norwegian Championship of Standitill”, we invite groups of participants to the laboratory and ask them to stand as still as possible while we present them with segments of selected music or silence. The head motion of each participant is captured using an infrared optical system. In 2012, 91 subjects stood on the floor for 3 minutes in silence and 3 minutes listening to music of increasing level of rhythmicality and energy (Jensenius et al., 2017). In 2017, 71 participants listened to 6 minutes consisting of segments of silence alternating with electronic dance music (EDM), classical Indian music or Norwegian fiddle music. In both studies we observed higher mean quantity of motion of the participants (QoM) in music condition compared to silence condition, and the effect was driven mostly by EDM. We also observed correlations between QoM and participant’s age, height and standing strategy (locked knees), although these results are mixed between the two studies. The future goal is to look more closely into specific features in music that correspond with observed movement, to search for signs of rhythmic entrainment, and to see what demographic and psychological factors might contribute to interpersonal differences in music induced body micromotion.

  Listen up! Sound artist and #MSCA IF fellow of the week Ximena Alarcón from Colombia develops the project INTIMAL at the University of Oslo. Ximena has a Deep Listening Certificate and practices Chi Kung, a form of body and mind energy practice with fluid and continuous movements. The body and mind experience with the sonic space, the intersection of sound art, music cognition, psychology, and human-computer interaction influence Ximena's current research. She links socio-psychological experiences of migration and the reference to distant places through memory and dreams, with practices of networked sonic improvisatory performances and listening. Her case study focuses on Colombian post-conflict and peace building. Ximena works with Colombian migrant women in Europe to explore and test relational listening. Can listening to spoken word, expressing embodied feelings with the voice, and sharing these dynamically with others, be a potential act for healing and reconciliation?

  Music is imbued with connotations of human emotional expression on multiple levels. Although it is likely that music utilises multiple different psychological mechanisms in the induction of emotional responses, one compelling account suggests that we might sometimes respond to music as we would to the observed experiences of another person — with empathy. In this talk, I will introduce the basic premise and outline the evidence for this account, and present recent findings from my own empirical work.

  The prevalent narrative of Norwegian music of the early twentieth century is one of opposition between the “national(ist)” composers – the dominant majority – and the “international(ists)”. Fartein Valen (1887-1952) is considered the foremost proponent of the latter, an artist who developed an atonal style much in line with that of Schoenberg – a language that was received with ambivalence, ignorance and scorn in his home country in the 1920s and 1930s. Valen was only recognized abroad following the performance of his Sonetto di Michelangelo at the festival of International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) in 1947. Yet this alleged international breakthrough seems to have been more modest than Valen’s most ardent protagonists have claimed. There are also striking differences between the scant interest in Valen in Germany and the reception in Britain, where his music had a certain vogue in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Here, a diverse network of personal contacts and agents, partly in central organizations, worked to promote Valen’s music. Among these were composer Humphrey Searle, who held positions in the BBC, The Times and the ISCM, and renowned pianist Alexander Helmann, the cultural attaché at the Norwegian Embassy, as well as other Norwegian advocates, including the chairman of the national section of the ISCM, his publisher and others. Personal encounters with works by Valen sparked much of this engagement. Yet equally decisive was the role of Valen’s music in the history of the post war-politics of cultural exchange between Britain and Norway, as the Scandinavian influence on contemporary music was on the rise and the ISCM worked to curb the dominance of modernism as defined from Vienna, Donaueschingen and (eventually) Darmstadt. To what extent did Valen’s music, upon liberation from its role as “the other” in the context of the national Norwegian milieu, represent a welcome, Nordic brew of modernism in Britain, a country that also was preoccupied with “the national tone” (and subsequently produced its own “narrative of belatedness” in the context of modernism)? How was the aesthetic universalism that Valen himself advocated conveyed, if at all? This paper proposes to discuss how the study of the reception of Valen’s music in Britain – however marginal in the grander narratives of European music – incites broader questions of cross-national inquiry, political contextualization and individual agency in the writing of music history, and issues of aesthetic sensibility with regard to music from the periphery.

  ”En kjent norsk komponist”, stod det i Dagbladet da Fartein Valen-statuen ble vandalisert i Sveio i vår. Men hvem var denne kunstneren som tross sitt stillfarne vesen provoserte og rørte så mange i sin samtid, både i Norge og ute i verden? Astrid Kvalbein, Arnulf Mattes og Ivar Roger Hansen vil snakke om Valen i hans samtid, om nasjonalismen og modernismen som skapte bølger av konflikter mellom norske komponister like før og etter andre verdenskrig. Vi skal dessuten se filmen som ble brukt for å markedsføre Valen og fiolinkonserten hans internasjonalt, og høre hvordan det hadde seg at prinsesse Margaret fikk overrakt partituret til verket på et stor arrangement i London i 1952.

  En installasjon som gir deg tilgang til stillstand, lyd og vibrasjon. Stå stille. Lytt. Finn lyden. Beveg deg. Stå stille. Lytt. Hør spenningen. Kjenn på bevegelsene dine. Slapp av. Stå enda stillere. Lytt dypere. Føl på grensen mellom det kjente og det ukjente, det kontrollerbare og det ukontrollerbare. Hvordan møter kroppen lyden? Hvordan møter lyden kroppen? Hva hører du? Gå bort til en av gitarene. Plasser deg fordan den og kjenn på stillstanden din. Hvis du vil kan du plassere hendene på instrumentet. Forsøk å lukke øynene. Åpne sansene for lydvibrasjonene du føler og hører. Stå så lenge du vil og kjenn på utviklingen av lyden, og dine indre opplevelser, bilder og assosiasjoner. I motsetning til et tradisjonelt instrument "spilles" disse gitarene ved at du står stille. Den levende kroppen interagerer med et elektronisk lydsystem spilt gjennom et akustisk instrument. Sverm-resonans utforsker møtepunktet mellom det taktile og det kinesiske, kroppen og sinnet, og mellom bevegelse og lyd.

  This paper describes an experiment in which the subjects performed a sound-tracing task to vocal melodies. They could move freely in the air with two hands, and their motion was captured using an infrared, marker-based system. We present a typology of distinct strategies used by the recruited participants to represent their perception of the melodies. These strategies appear as ways to represent time and space through the finite motion possibilities of two hands moving freely in space. We observe these strategies and present their typology through qualitative analysis. Then we numerically verify the consistency of these strategies by conducting tests of significance between labeled and random samples.

  Pitch and spatial height are often associated when describing music. In this paper we present results from a sound tracing study in which we investigate such sound–motion relationships. The subjects were asked to move as if they were creating the melodies they heard, and their motion was captured with an infra-red, marker-based camera system. The analysis is focused on calculating feature vectors typically used for melodic contour analysis. We use these features to compare melodic contour typologies with motion contour typologies. This is based on using proposed feature sets that were made for melodic contour similarity measurement. We apply these features to both the melodies and the motion contours to establish whether there is a correspondence between the two, and find the features that match the most. We find a relationship between vertical motion and pitch contour when evaluated through features rather than simply comparing contours.

  Our own and other research seems to suggest that perception and cognition of musical sound is closely linked with images of sound-producing body motion, and that chunks of sound are perceived as linked with chunks of sound-producing body motion, leading us to the concept of sound-motion objects in music (Godøy et al. 2016). One challenge in our research is trying to understand how such sound-motion objects actually emerge in music. Taking into account findings in motor control research as well as in our own research, we hypothesize that there is a so-called intermittent motor control scheme (Sakaguchi et al. 2015) at work in sound-producing body motion, meaning a discontinuous, point-by-point control scheme, resulting in a series of holistically conceived chunks of sound-producing motion, in turn resulting in the perception of music as concatenations of coherent sound-motion objects.

  The perception of musical meter is fundamental for rhythm production and perception in much music. Underlying structures such as pulse, meter, and metrical subdivisions are often described as successive mental beats. This paper investigates whether experienced musical meter may not only include such mental points in time, but also trajectories between the points–that is, metrical shapes. Previous studies have pointed out that there seems to be a relationship between musical meter and periodic body motions like foot tapping, head nodding and dancing. This paper investigates whether metrical shapes might also be present in performers’ periodic body motions. Two motion capture studies form the empirical basis of this paper; first, a percussionist and a dancer performing Brazilian samba; second, a fiddler and two dancers performing Norwegian telespringar. Motion analysis of the samba performers’ periodic body motion revealed similar periodic shapes in both percussionist and dancer foot motion on sixteenth note level. In telespringar there seemed to be a relationship between the beat durations indicated by the fiddler’s periodic foot stamping and the shape of the dancers’ vertical body motion. The results support the view that there is a close relationship between musical meter and performers’ periodic body motion. The analysis of the performers’ periodic body motions revealed periodic motion shapes on beat level in telespringar and on sixteenth note level in samba. This suggest that the underlying meter may not only include metrical points in time, but that each metrical beat/subdivision duration has a corresponding metrical trajectory with a certain shape. If this is the case, then perceivers’ and performers’ implicit knowledge of the underlying reference structure in samba and telespringar might incorporate knowledge about the underlying metrical shape.

  The attack phase of sound events plays an important role in how sounds and music are perceived. Several approaches have been suggested for locating salient time points and critical time spans within the attack portion of a sound, and some have been made widely accessible to the research community in toolboxes for Matlab. While some work exists where proposed audio descriptors are grounded in listening tests, the approaches used in two of the most popular toolboxes for musical analysis have not been thoroughly compared against perceptual results. This article evaluates the calculation of attack phase descriptors in the Timbre toolbox and the MIRtoolbox by comparing their predictions to empirical results from a listening test. The results show that the default parameters in both toolboxes give inaccurate predictions for the sound stimuli in our experiment. We apply a grid search algorithm to obtain alternative parameter settings for these toolboxes that align their estimations with our empirical results.

  Performance of acoustic instruments is often happening at a spatiotemporal micro-level. Violin performance, for example, is based on an extreme control of the spatial placement of the left-hand fingering and the right-hand bow strokes. Even though there are exceptions, many digital musical instruments (DMIs) are based on meso- or macro-level control, that is, fairly large and slow control actions compared to acoustic instruments. In this talk I will present a theoretical framework for sound-producing actions and a related organological model. This will be exemplified with some of my empirical results of music-induced dancing, "air instrument" performance and sonic microinteraction.

• Jensenius, Alexander Refsum (2017). The importance of "nothing": studying human music-related micromotion. Vis sammendrag

  This presentation will focus on my research on human micromotion in musical contexts. My scientific research has focused on understanding more about the phenomenon of human standstill and how music influences our micromotion when standing still. My artistic research has focused on the exploration of micromotion in music and dance performance, and particularly how it is possible to set up systems for sonic microinteraction. My two separate "tracks" of research, the scientific and artistic, have positively reinforced each other, shedding light on a level of musical expressivity on the boundary between the conscious and the unconscious, the voluntary and the involuntary.

  This paper explores sonic microinteraction using muscle sensing through the Myo armband. The first part presents results from a small series of experiments aimed at finding the baseline micromotion and muscle activation data of people being at rest or performing short/small actions. The second part presents the prototype instrument MicroMyo, built around the concept of making sound with little motion. The instrument plays with the convention that inputting more energy into an instrument results in more sound. MicroMyo, on the other hand, is built so that the less you move, the more it sounds. Our user study shows that while such an "inverse instrument" may seem puzzling at first, it also opens a space for interesting musical interactions.

  Digital music technology has brought about unforeseen possibilities for manipulating sound, and, as a consequence, entirely new forms of musical expression have emerged. Among them are new rhythmic feels produced by either inserting glitches into the post-production of a played groove or by warping samples. Such rhythmic feels have been a striking aspect of African-American popular music styles such as, hip-hip, neo-soul, and contemporary R&B from the turn of the millennium onward. In this paper I present an analysis of the song ‘1000 Deaths’ from the album Black Messiah (2014) by D’Angelo. The analysis draws on previous work on D’Angelo’s microrhythms by Danielsen (2010). I will, first, map the micro-rhythmic relationship of the groove, and, secondly, relate its microrhythmic design to examples of similar past and present practices. The aim is to explore the wide array of musical and cultural meanings that such microrhythmic practices have taken on, from an experimental attitude (D’Errico) or political activism to black badness (West) or overtly sexual activities. The paper aims at bridging the gap between analysis of ‘the music itself’ and interpretations of its cultural and contextual meanings, demonstrating the ways in which they can be brought in touch with each other and mutually enhancing.
