Substance, Subject, and Functional Metamorphosis: Theorising Collective Subjectivity in Ferdinand David’s Solo-Tutti Interaction (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitterer, D. (2024, July). Substance, Subject, and Functional Metamorphosis: Theorising Collective Subjectivity in Ferdinand David’s Solo-Tutti Interaction. Paper presented at Edinburgh Music Analysis Conference, Edinburgh

Speculation about the expressivity of the socio-political order in concertante works has persisted in the aftermath of the New Musicology (McClary 1986, Kerman 1999, and Tusa 2012), and in hermeneutic responses to the New Formenlehre (Caplin 2001, He...

Verbal semantic expertise is associated with reduced functional connectivity between left and right anterior temporal lobes (2024)
Journal Article
Wu, W., & Hoffman, P. (2024). Verbal semantic expertise is associated with reduced functional connectivity between left and right anterior temporal lobes. Cerebral Cortex, 34(6), Article bhae256. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhae256

The left and right anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) encode semantic representations. They show graded hemispheric specialization in function, with the left ATL contributing preferentially to verbal semantic processing. We investigated the cognitive cor...

The Rarity of Musical Audio Signals Within the Space of Possible Audio Generation (2024)
Report
Collins, N. (2024). The Rarity of Musical Audio Signals Within the Space of Possible Audio Generation. None

A white noise signal can access any possible configuration of values, though statistically over many samples tends to a uniform spectral distribution, and is highly unlikely to produce intelligible sound. But how unlikely? The probability that white... Read More about The Rarity of Musical Audio Signals Within the Space of Possible Audio Generation.

Hindustani raga and singer classification using 2D and 3D pose estimation from video recordings (2024)
Journal Article
Clayton, M., Li, J., Clarke, A., & Weinzierl, M. (online). Hindustani raga and singer classification using 2D and 3D pose estimation from video recordings. Journal of New Music Research, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1080/09298215.2024.2331788

Using pose estimation with video recordings, we apply an action recognition machine learning algorithm to demonstrate the use of the movement information to classify singers and the ragas (melodic modes) they perform. Movement information is derived... Read More about Hindustani raga and singer classification using 2D and 3D pose estimation from video recordings.

Sonata Form as Temporal Process: the First Movement of Bruckner's Sixth symphony (2024)
Journal Article
Kim, S. (2024). Sonata Form as Temporal Process: the First Movement of Bruckner's Sixth symphony. Music Analysis, 43(1), 36-76. https://doi.org/10.1111/musa.12224

The timeworn view that Bruckner's sonata form is a motionless architecture devoid of dynamic processes has long contributed his isolation from the mainstream post-Beethovenian tradition. Taking inspiration from August Halm's (1914) and Ernst Kurth's... Read More about Sonata Form as Temporal Process: the First Movement of Bruckner's Sixth symphony.

Commonality and variation in mental representations of music revealed by a cross-cultural comparison of rhythm priors in 15 countries (2024)
Journal Article
Jacoby, N., Polak, R., Grahn, J. A., Cameron, D. J., Lee, K. M., Godoy, R., …McDermott, J. H. (2024). Commonality and variation in mental representations of music revealed by a cross-cultural comparison of rhythm priors in 15 countries. Nature Human Behaviour, 8, 846–877. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-023-01800-9

Music is present in every known society but varies from place to place. What, if anything, is universal to music cognition? We measured a signature of mental representations of rhythm in 39 participant groups in 15 countries, spanning urban societies...

Valenced Priming with Acquired Affective Concepts in Music: Automatic Reactions to Common Tonal Chords (2024)
Journal Article
Lahdelma, I., & Eerola, T. (2024). Valenced Priming with Acquired Affective Concepts in Music: Automatic Reactions to Common Tonal Chords. Music Perception: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 41(3), 161-175. https://doi.org/10.1525/mp.2024.41.3.161

This study tested whether chords that do not differ in acoustic roughness but that have distinct affective connotations are strong enough to prime negative and positive associations measurable with an affective priming method. We tested whether music... Read More about Valenced Priming with Acquired Affective Concepts in Music: Automatic Reactions to Common Tonal Chords.

Music, Memory, and Imagination (2024)
Journal Article
Margulis, E. H., & Jakubowski, K. (2024). Music, Memory, and Imagination. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 33(2), 108-113. https://doi.org/10.1177/09637214231217229

This article argues that the capacity of music to reliably cue both autobiographical memories and fictional imaginings can be leveraged to better understand the relationship and interdependence between memory and imagination more generally. The multi... Read More about Music, Memory, and Imagination.

A Survey into Piano Teachers’ Perceptions of Music Memorization in One-to-one Piano Lessons: A Preliminary Study (2024)
Journal Article
Steliou, C., & Jakubowski, K. (2024). A Survey into Piano Teachers’ Perceptions of Music Memorization in One-to-one Piano Lessons: A Preliminary Study. Music & Science, 7, https://doi.org/10.1177/20592043231225733

Despite more than a century of research on music memorization and practicing strategies, there is a lack of comprehensive evidence on how instrumental music teachers teach memorization to children and adolescents in one-to-one lessons. The present qu... Read More about A Survey into Piano Teachers’ Perceptions of Music Memorization in One-to-one Piano Lessons: A Preliminary Study.
