Moving together, feeling together
This study investigated the relationships between bodily expression, bodily coordination, mental effort, and self-reported experiences of musical togetherness. Singer-pianist duos performed pieces of classical repertoire before and after rehearsing together. Video, head motion, respiration, and pupillometry data were collected. Afterwards, the performers watched a video of their post-rehearsal performance and made continuous ratings of how togeth…
Interperformer coordination in piano-singing duo performances
Musicians’ body motion plays a fundamental role in ensemble playing, by supporting sound production, communication, and expressivity. This research investigates how Western classical musicians’ head motion during ensemble performances relates to a piece’s phrase structure and musicians’ empathic perspective taking (EPT) profile. Twenty-four advanced piano and singing students took part in the study, and their EPT score was pre-assessed using the …
Fair Interconnection and Enrichment of Public-Domain Music Resources on the Web
Vast amounts of publicly licensed classical music resources are housed within many different repositories on the Web encompassing richly diverse facets of information—including bibliographical and biographical data, digitized images of music notation, music score encodings, audiovisual performance recordings, derived feature data, scholarly commentaries, and listener reactions. While these varied perspectives ought to contribute to greater holist…
Eye gaze as a means of giving and seeking information during musical interaction
During skilled music ensemble performance, a multi-layered network of interaction processes allows musicians to negotiate common interpretations of ambiguously-notated music in real-time. This study investigated the conditions that encourage visual interaction during duo performance. Duos recorded performances of a new piece before and after a period of rehearsal. Mobile eye tracking and motion capture were used in combination to map uni- and bid…
The Tight-interlocked Rhythm Section
This study investigates the production and perception of timing, synchronisation and dynamics in jazz trio performances. In a production experiment, six trio combinations of one saxophonist, two bassists, and three drummers were recorded while they performed three popular jazz songs. Onset timing and dynamics of each performer were extracted and analysed. Results showed that the tempo was significantly influenced by the timing of the drummers and…
When they listen and when they watch
Nonverbal auditory and visual communication helps ensemble musicians predict each other’s intentions and coordinate their actions. When structural characteristics of the music make predicting co-performers’ intentions difficult (e.g., following long pauses or during ritardandi), reliance on incoming auditory and visual signals may change. This study tested whether attention to visual cues during piano–piano and piano–violin duet performance incre…
The Magaloff Project
One of the main difficulties in studying expression in musical performance is the acquisition of data. While audio recordings abound, automatically extracting precise information related to timing, dynamics, and articulation is still not possible at the level of precision required for large-scale music performance studies. In 1989, the Russian pianist Nikita Magaloff performed essentially the entire works for solo piano by Frédéric Chopin on a Bö…
Phase-plane Representation and Visualization of Gestural Structure in Expressive Timing
For the past few decades there has been considerable scientific interest in expression in music performance (Gabrielsson, Citation2003). A particularly relevant aspect of music performance is expressive timing, that is, the intentional fluctuations of tempo during a performance. Accordingly, expressive timing has been one of the major topics in music performance research. As an expressive parameter, timing is used to clarify the musical structure…
Computational Models of Expressive Music Performance
This contribution gives an overview of the state of the art in the field of computational modeling of expressive music performance. The notion of predictive computational model is briefly discussed, and a number of quantitative models of various aspects of expressive performance are briefly reviewed. Four selected computational models are reviewed in some detail. Their basic principles and assumptions are explained and, wherever possible, empiric…
Tempo and Loudness Analysis of a Continuous 28-Hour Performance of Erik Satie?s Composition ?Vexations
This study extends the perspective of music performance research with an examination of a long-term performance. In a single case study, an uninterrupted recording of Erik Satie’s “Vexations” performed by one pianist over almost 28 hours is used as a performance of extreme length to explore new approaches in performance data analysis. The MIDI and acoustical data are analysed with linear and non-linear methods to describe changes in tempo and lou…
