4. 2. The Melody Phrasing Curve : A Visual Tool for Illustrating Perceived Musical Dynamics

   Author : Ingemar Fridell; Musikhögskolan i Malmö; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; melody line; musical dynamics; Melody phrasing; perception; interpretation; visual tools; musical communication; performance;

   Abstract : In Western classical music traditions, conventional ways of considering melody have been established. The tones of a melody phrase might be experienced as building up a continuous line moving between dynamical culmination points and relaxation points. In this study, a special visual tool called the Melody phrasing curve (MPhC) has been tested. READ MORE

5. 3. Effects of environmental acoustic factors, individual differences and musical training on speech perception in simulated classrooms

   Author : Douglas MacCutcheon; Robert Ljung; Daniel Västfjäll; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; speech in noise; cognition; perception; musical training; spatial listening; virtual classroom environment; bakgrundsljud; kognition; taluppfattning; musikalisk träning; rumsligt lyssnande; virtuella klassrumsmiljöer; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

   Abstract : Formal learning takes place primarily through speech perception in classroom environments and is therefore dependent on the listener’s ability to cope with a number of acoustic factors that interfere with the speech signal. As classrooms are inclusive spaces accommodating learners with a broad range of abilities and backgrounds, this research investigated some of the ways in which individual differences in supporting cognitive skills are related to speech perception outcomes in various challenging acoustic environments.

6. 4. SHUT UP 'N' PLAY! Negotiating the Musical Work

   Author : Stefan Östersjö; Musikhögskolan i Malmö; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Contemporary art music; Collaboration; Musical performance; Methodology; Artistic research; Ontology; Music philosophy; Musical work; Musical interpretation; Performance practice;

   Abstract : 'SHUT UP ’N’ PLAY! Negotiating the Musical Work’ is a piece of artistic research that attempts to merge artistic practice, qualitative research methods and critical analysis in a project concerned with contemporary performance practices, and specifically how these practices are created and transmitted in the interaction between composer and performer. By way of a critical reading of the musico-philosophical discussion of the ontology of the musical work and by way of a deconstruction of the concept of musical interpretation I propose a model in which the identity of the musical work is analysed as the result of interaction between multiple agents: composer, performer, instrument, score and electronics, among others.
