Success in reaching affect self-regulation goals through everyday music listening
2023
While music listening on mobile phones can serve many affect-regulatory goals, success in reaching these goals is yet to be empirically assessed. This study aimed to determine how frequently listeners successfully reach their affect-regulatory goals, and the predictors of this success. Data were collected using the experience sampling app MuPsych, from 293 Finnish participants. Goals were successfully reached in less than half of cases, with adults more successful than adolescents. Success was determined largely within contexts, and strongly predicted by an initial low-valenced emotional state of the listener, suggesting that music listening is particularly useful for those in negative stat…
Validation of the German Version of the Music-Empathizing-Music-Systemizing (MEMS) Inventory (Short Version)
2018
Background: Kreutz et al. (2008) developed the Music-Empathizing-Music-Systemizing (ME-MS) Inventory to extend Baron-Cohen's cognitive style theory to the domain of music. We sought to confirm the ME-MS construct in a German sample and to explore these individual differences in relation to music preferences. Methods: The German adaptation of the MEMS Inventory was achieved by forward and backward translation. A total of 1014 participants (532 male, age: 33.79 ± 11.89 years) completed the 18-item short version of the MEMS Inventory online. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed and cut-off values were established to identify individuals who could be classified as ME, Balanced, or M…
Returning to musical universals - Question of equidistant scale
2009
It is widely accepted that asymmetries in intervals of the musical scale (i.e., inequalities of the interval steps) serve as “orientation points so that we can know ‘where’ we are in the scale” (Krumhansl, Snyder). This feature is often treated as universal (Dowling, Harwood, Trehub, etc.). At the same time, there is evidence of equitonics (equidistant scales) in various world musics. Examples of equitonics can be found in European folk music (Grainger, Sachs, Sevåg, etc.), as well as in “exotic” music cultures. Often such scales are anchored on a framework of a fourth or fifth (i.e. the strongest consonances) and filled in with “loosely-knit” (Grainger) intermediate tones. The result is "a…
Musica sbagliata
2020
Our paper examines the errors made by composers and book-makers in 16th- and 17th-century Italy. Errors made by composers were denounced by other composers, through the diffusion of written censures, or during public challenges in the presence of judges and witnesses. Errors made during the printing process can be found both in the paratext (forgotten or inverted letters and numbers in the title page) and in the text itself (omission of alterations or mistaken notes and words). Our paper ends with a discussion of errors and misunderstandings made by performers and listeners, including both those contemporary to the music, and others committed in modern performances of early music.
Technical issues in beginning violin: an exploratory study in the classroom with 4-5 years old preschoolers
2018
Conocer los errores técnicos de los alumnos en la enseñanza de la música puede ser de gran ayuda en la planificación de la enseñanza instrumental en sus fases iniciales. Esto es particularmente valioso en el trabajo con alumnado de 4-5 años. Este estudio explora esta cuestión mediante una Investigación-Acción realizada con 11 estudiantes voluntarios de dichas edades. A lo largo de 30 sesiones individuales de 30 minutos, se recogieron datos mediante observación participante realizada por el profesor en una Escuela Municipal de Música, comparándose dos aproximaciones didácticas de iniciación al violín. Una aproximación se centró en el manejo de la mano derecha (aproximación MD), introduciendo…
Flamand et pélicans. Du flamenco puriste à la fusion loubard. Duende y misterio del flamenco (Edgar Neville, 1952) y Dame veneno (Pedro Barbadillo, 2…
2012
Le cinéma musical espagnol a servi à de nombreuses reprises, des éléments caractéristiques de la espagnolade, comme le flamenco. Cependant, très peu de films ont cessé de les analyser en profondeur. Contrairement à cette tendance, «Duende y Misterio del flamenco» (Edgar Neville) et «Dame veneno» (Pedro Barbadillo) sont présentés comme deux raretés capables de réfléchir profondément sur ce genre musical et son évolution depuis les années soixante-dix. Réminiscence de deux moments distincts de la société espagnole, la comparaison entre les deux films montre l'évolution de la pureté du genre à sa fusion avec d'autres styles musicaux, ce qui reflète l'ouverture de passage à la culture internati…
Sabotajes de la cultura vasca: acerca de la nación encima del canon y hacia una nación-otra bajo tachadura
2014
Esta tesis, Sabotajes de la cultura vasca: acerca de la nación encima del canon y hacia una nación-otra bajo tachadura, pretende comprender la producción cultural vasca como agente performativo que toma parte en formaciones de posiciones de sujeto hegemónicos y subalternos. Esta tesis no está tan interesada en estudiar la identidad vasca, sino que espera comprender los múltiples procesos que toman parte en su formación y el carácter modelador que asumen. En esta tesis defiendo que Ziutateaz, Bilbao-New York-Bilbao, la poesía de Itxaro Borda y la música punk de Hertzainak hacen posible que la lectora pueda elaborar una crítica estratégica de la modernidad, de las formaciones del estado y la …
Exploring Disciplinary Boundaries between Eth-nomusicology and Cultural Musicology through My Own Ph.D. Research Project
2012
The present paper seeks to establish the distinction (if there is any) between contemporary ethnomusicology and cultural musicology by using my own Ph.D. research project as a case study. One way to approach this task is to assess the extent to which the very topic and objectives of my Ph.D. project, as well as at the theories and methodologies used, correspond to the current tendencies in the two fields of studies. The aim of such a survey is twofold: one is to open a debate on the (im)possibility of drawing clear disciplinary boundaries, and the other is to try and position my Ph.D. research along disciplinary lines.

La modulación tonal en las formas musicales del Flamenco: propiedades de preferencia e hibridación armónica
2010
En este trabajo se describe un fenómeno musical, la modulación tonal, que aparece con frecuencia en determinadas formas o estilos del cante flamenco, y se analiza su ejecución desde un punto de vistaetnomusical. Planteamos la tesis de que se trata, en efecto, de una propiedad de preferencia que persigue una determinada estética musical. This paper describes a musical phenomenon: tonal modulation, which frequently appears in certain flamenco types or styles, and analyzes their performance under an ethnomusic point of view. We propose the thesis that it is indeed a preference property that pursues a particular musical aesthetic.
