Modelling the Dynamics of Musical Engagement
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents work in progress on the modelling of emergence in an intelligent music composition/performance system. A model is described which seeks to encourage such emergence by facilitating interaction between musician and system. A complex adaptive systems population of musical behaviours inhabits a landscape which in turn is shaped by a process of description and redescription of the events which constitute its environment. It is suggested that the mutually evolving space thus generated might be considered a useful model of the emotional engagement between musician or listener and an external musical "object".

Measuring Musical Engagement Using Expressive Movement and EEG Brain Dynamics
We have developed a method for studying musical engagement using simple expressive rhythmic “conducting” gestures matching the musical pulse. Expert and nonexpert participants attempted to communicate the feeling of heard musical excerpts using simple rhythmic U-shaped hand/arm “conducting” gestures that animated, in real time, the movement of a spot of light on a video display, while body moti...
متن کاملMechanical System Modelling of Robot Dynamics Using a Mass/Pulley Model
The well-known electro-mechanical analogy that equates current, voltage, resistance, inductance and capacitance to force, velocity, damping, spring constant and mass has a shortcoming in that mass can only be used to simulate a capacitor which has one terminal connected to ground. A new model that was previously proposed by the authors that combines a mass with a pulley (MP) is shown to simulat...
متن کاملMusical activity and emotional competence – a twin study
The hypothesis was tested that musical activities may contribute to the prevention of alexithymia. We tested whether musical creative achievement and musical practice are associated with lower alexithymia. 8000 Swedish twins aged 27-54 were studied. Alexithymia was assessed using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20. Musical achievement was rated on a 7-graded scale. Participants estimated number o...
متن کاملThe influence of polyphony on the dynamical modelling of musical timbre
This letter addresses the problem of pattern recognition of polyphonic musical timbre. Frame-level dynamics of audio features are particularly difficult to model, although they have been identified as crucial perceptive dimensions of timbre perception. Recent studies seem to indicate that traditional means to model data dynamics, such as delta-coefficients, texture windows or Markov modelling, ...
