Variations of the perception of mood and tension of music excerpts depending on the visual context
2009
We study the influence that image features may have on music tension and liveliness perception. 72 music excerpts from different genres and periods were selected, and 72 still shots were taken from different animation features little known to the subjects. 62 subjects rated the isolated images for tension and liveliness, 37 subjects rated the isolated music excerpts for tension and liveliness, and 153 subjects rated the music excerpts combined with the images for music tension and liveliness, and for music-image congruence. There is a significant variation of tension and liveliness of the music as a function of the tension and liveliness of the pairing image, showing a transfer of mood from…
Analysis of corporal gestures in dance students’ improvisations as a response to controlled musical parameters

This study addresses the lack of a theoretical basis in dance piano accompaniment music geared towards dance.

The pieces varied along 6 musical features: mode, tempo, time signature, intensity, anacrusis and syncopation. For each video-recorded improvisation, we analyzed the performance of movement and gesture types. One-way ANOVAs were performed taking each musical feature as a factor and each movement as a dependent vari…
