An Interdisciplinary and Integrated Methodological Framework to Analyze Aesthetic Experience in Music Performances
Objective: Investigations of aesthetic experience have continually searched for field-research methodologies that measure physiological and self-report responses reliably and with little invasiveness. On this background, the interdisciplinary research project “ECR–Experimental Concert Research” set out to study aesthetic experience in live public concerts. Methods: A team of scientists from musicology, psychology, cultural studies, and software e…
A cross-cultural study in Chinese and Western music
The ability of music to communicate emotions cross-culturally has been explored in many studies. The first purpose of this study was to examine whether the previously hypothesised in-group advantage of emotion recognition in music holds between the Chinese and Western contexts. The second purpose was to investigate the associations between psychoacoustic features and the recognition of musical emotions in Chinese and Western listeners. Chinese an…
Concert formats influence how audiences experience live classical music
Many people enjoy listening to live music. But what exactly does a live context contribute to people’s experience, and do different types of concerts influence the musical experience in different ways? In this study, we focus on the Western classical concert, which has been claimed to be in an existential crisis. One way in which practitioners are seeking to counter this crisis is by adapting the concert format. Our study was inspired by such art…
The influence of formats and preferences on the aesthetic experience of classical music concert streams
Music is listened to in many different situational and media frames that can be expected to shape its experience. In this study, we were interested in the effects that different formats of audiovisual streaming of classical concerts can have on the aesthetic experience of their audience. We also investigated the effects of preferences for streaming features. A total of N =525 participants watched one of four chamber music concert streams and repo…
Developing Digital Classical Concert Stream Offerings – A Typology of Audience Preferences
To explore the issues around the production and design of digital concert streams, we conducted an online survey of n = 1,619 classical concert stream audience members (56,5% females, mean age 49 years). Participants were asked about their preference of various characteristics of digital concert productions, their use of and experience with various stream platforms and their socio-demographics. Considering various media user typologies previously…
Meditation as a tool to counteract music performance anxiety from the experts’ perspective
Music performance anxiety (MPA) affects numerous musicians, preventing them from performing to the full extent of their abilities. A variety of tools are used to cope with MPA among which is meditation. Although research conducted to date has made a distinction between the types of meditative techniques and their effects, this aspect is still not thoroughly investigated. The aim of this qualitative study is to investigate the experience of specia…

Induced empathy moderates emotional responses to expressive qualities in music
Recent research has explored the role of empathy in the context of music listening. Here, through an empathy priming paradigm, situational empathy was shown to act as a causal mechanism in inducing emotion, although the way empathy was primed had low levels of ecological validity. We therefore conducted an online experiment to explore the extent to which information about a composer’s expressive intentions when writing a piece of music would sign…
The Use of Binaural Based Spatial Audio in the Reduction of Auditory Hypersensitivity in Autistic Young People
Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are characterised as experiencing impairments in social-emotional interaction and communication, alongside frequently displaying repetitive behaviours and interests. Further to this, they are often described as experiencing difficulties in processing sensory information, with particular prevalence within the auditory modality. Provoked by common environmental sounds, auditory hypersensitiv…
Temperament systems influence emotion induction but not makam recognition performance in Turkish makam music
We tested how induced emotions and Turkish makam recognition are influenced by participation in an ear training class and whether either is influenced by the temperament system employed. The ear training class was attended by 19 music students and was based on the Hicaz makam presented as a between-subjects factor in either unfamiliar Turkish original temperament (OT, pitches unequally divided into 24 intervals) or familiar Western equal temperam…
Popular Music as Entertainment Communication
Our contribution addresses popular music as essential part of media entertainment offerings. Prior works explained liking for specific music titles in ‘push scenarios’ (radio programs, music recommendation, curated playlists) by either drawing on personal genre preferences, or on findings about ‘cognitive side effects’ leading to a preference drift towards familiar and society-wide popular tracks. However, both approaches do not satisfactorily ex…
Exploring the motivations for building new digital musical instruments
Over the past four decades, the number, diversity and complexity of digital musical instruments (DMIs) has increased rapidly. There are very few constraints on DMI design as such systems can be easily reconfigured, offering near limitless flexibility for music-making. Given that new acoustic musical instruments have in many cases been created in response to the limitations of available technologies, what motivates the development of new DMIs? We …
A computational model for predicting perceived musical expression in branding scenarios
We describe the development of a computational model predicting listener-perceived expressions of music in branding contexts. Representative ground truth from multi-national online listening experiments was combined with machine learning of music branding expert knowledge, and audio signal analysis toolbox outputs. A mixture of random forest and traditional regression models is able to predict average ratings of perceived brand image on four dime…
From acceleration to rhythmicity
Querying music is still a disembodied process in Music Information Retrieval. Thus, the goal of the presented study was to explore how free and spontaneous movement captured by smartphone accelerometer data can be related to musical properties. Motion features related to tempo, smoothness, size, and regularity were extracted and shown to predict the musical qualities ‘rhythmicity’ (R2 = .45), ‘pitch level + range’ (R2 = .06) and ‘complexity (R2 =…
Exploring the potential of virtual reality technology to investigate the health and well being benefits of group singing
There is a growing body of academic research aiming to quantify and understand the associated health and well being benefits of group singing. The social interaction is known to strongly contribute to perceived improvements to mental and physical health but there are also indications that singing together elicits better well being outcomes than other community activities. This paper introduces the Vocal Interaction in an Immersive Virtual Acousti…

Musique et émotion
Cet article prend pour prétexte une expérimentation menée en 2011 par une ethnomusicologue et une équipe de psychologues de la musique pour évoquer les problématiques reliées au travail interdisciplinaire. Le sujet qui fait l'objet de la recherche concerne les émotions évoquées par la musique en lien avec l'expressivité de la musique. L'hypothèse qui motive ce travail est l'existence éventuelle d'universaux musicaux en relation avec la significat…
Does music listening in a social context alter experience? A physiological and psychological perspective on emotion
Music has often been shown to induce emotion in listeners and is also often heard in social contexts (e.g., concerts, parties, etc.), yet until now, the influences of social settings on the emotions experienced by listeners was not known. This exploratory study investigated whether listening to music in a group setting alters the emotion felt by listeners. The emotional reactions to 10 musical excerpts were measured both psychologically (rating o…
