Recent years have seen mediated concerts grow in popularity. As physical events, accommodate both small- and large-scale interaction. However, the extent to which these interactions establish emotional energy online is debated. Combining video observations elicitation interviews with participants of live music on platform Twitch, this paper explores growing form consumption while also adding de...

In this paper, we approach the tasks of beat tracking, downbeat recognition and rhythmic style classification in nonWestern music. Our approach is based on a Bayesian model, which infers tempo, downbeats and rhythmic style, from an audio signal. The model can be automatically adapted to rhythmic styles and time signatures. For evaluation, we compiled and annotated a music corpus consisting of e...

musical performances and synchronize prestored computer music accompaniments. The Interaction with computers in musical third project is a system for analyzing the performances is very much limited by a lack harmonic and rhythmic content of an of music understanding by computers. If improvised solo in order to follow a jazz computers do not understand musical improvisation. This work led to fur...

It has been suggested that a key function of music during its development and spread amongst human populations was its capacity to create and strengthen social bonds amongst interacting group members. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs have not been fully discussed. In this paper we review evidence supporting two thus far independently investigated mechanisms for this social bonding e...

While Professor of Solfège...and Harmony at the Geneva Conservatory of Music, he was both interested and troubled by his students’ rhythmic problems. He noticed that one of his students, despite his musical problems, was capable of walking rhythmically. His observation caused him to conclude that people possessed musical rhythm instinctively, but did not transfer these instincts to fulfill thei...

Recording music-related motions in ecological valid situations can be challenging. We investigate the performance of three devices providing 3D acceleration data, namely Axivity AX3, iPhone 4s and a Wii controller tracking rhythmic motions. The devices are benchmarked against an infrared motion capture system. The devices tracked simple and complex rhythmic motions to pre-recorded music and wer...

Much of music structure might appropriately be viewed as auralized mathematics. African and African Diasporic music traditions are areas of untapped potential for exploring this notion, particularly with respect to the ways in which the elements of pulse, cycle, and subpulse are manipulated in complex rhythmic structures. In this paper, we describe our preliminary investigations into the use of...

the aim of this study was to examine the effect of a rhythmic motor program on the perceptual – motor abilities (pma) and the intelligence quotient (iq) of educable mentally retarded (emr) children. the sample consisted of 24 emr girls (mean age = 11.98+1.43 years and iq = 70.58+ 9.95). then, they were matched and assigned to two groups of intervention and control according to their iq and pma ...

There is extensive modulation of cutaneous and H-reflexes during rhythmic leg movement in humans. Mechanisms controlling reflex modulation (e.g., phase- and task-dependent modulation, and reflex reversal) during leg movements have been ascribed to the activity of spinal central pattern generating (CPG) networks and peripheral feedback. Our working hypothesis has been that neural mechanisms (i.e...

This paper investigates how the philosophy of several key choral music educators influenced their working methods and principles that they emphasized in teaching. Lowell Mason, named “Father Music Education”, first public school teacher Boston, spearheaded singing movement mid 1800’s. F. Melius Christiansen, teaching at St. Olaf College Northfield, MN left a legacy “ideal” sound elevated choir ...
