From Bach to Pélog
Dissonant stimuli or stimuli with high auditory roughness are often related to jagged shapes, while consonant stimuli or those with low auditory roughness are associated with curvy and smooth shapes. This empirical study explores auditory-tactile associations for roughness in diverse musical excerpts. We investigate whether auditory harmonic dissonance is perceptually associated with tactile roughness in sandpapers with varying grit values, and w…
Music as social surrogate? A qualitative analysis of older adults’ choices of music to alleviate loneliness
People are living longer than ever. Loneliness is prevalent across various age groups, posing a serious threat to both wellbeing and health. The social surrogacy hypothesis predicts that people make use of temporary substitutes for interaction with other people. In this qualitative study, we explored the role of self-chosen music as a social surrogate. A sample of older adults ( N = 35) was asked to name three pieces of music they would choose to…
Mind-wandering during contemporary live music
During a live concert, the mind can wander to unrelated thoughts such as personal concerns or past memories or to vivid images that are inspired by the music. This is an omnipresent phenomenon commonly referred to as mind-wandering. Psychological research on mind-wandering has explored its main characteristics, such as frequency, phenomenology, and impact on mood, both in the laboratory and in daily life contexts. This study aimed to harness the …
A huge man is bursting out of a rock’”
The present study proposes a new approach to musical referentiality and its alleged tendency to relate to bodily experience and movement. To address this, we collected a corpus of 38,587 words (2,265 verbal descriptions of ‘associations’ or ‘imagery’ sparked by short musical excerpts by 554 participants from 32 countries). We tested the hypotheses that verbalizations containing clear references to bodies and/or their movement will (1) be prevalen…
All Eyes on Me
Duo musicians exhibit a broad variety of bodily gestures, but it is unclear how soloists’ and accompanists’ movements differ and to what extent they attract observers’ visual attention. In Experiment 1, seven musical duos’ body movements were tracked while they performed two pieces in two different conditions. In a congruent condition, soloist and accompanist behaved according to their expected musical roles; in an incongruent condition, the solo…
