Dynamic Range Processing’s Influence on Perceived Timing in Electronic Dance Music
2020
In this article, we explore the extent to which dynamic range processing (such as compression and sidechain compression) influences our perception of a sound signal’s temporal placement in music. Because compression reshapes the sound signal’s envelope, scholars have previously noted that certain uses of sidechain compression can produce peculiar rhythmic effects. In this article, we have tried to interrogate and complicate this notion by linking a description of the workings and effects of dynamic range processing to empirical findings on the interaction between sound and perceived timing, and by analyzing multitracks and DAW project files, as well as released audio files, of selected EDM …
Comparison of Body Composition and Energy Intake of Young Female Ballet Dancers and Ordinary School Girls
2017
Abstract The aim of this study is to assess body fat level, energy and nutrient intake of adolescent ballet dancers and to compare these results with those of adolescents from ordinary school. Participants included 39 ballet dancers and 70 adolescents from ordinary school. Body composition was measured using a multi-frequency 8-polar bioelectrical impedance leg-to-hand analyser (X-Scan Plus II, Korea). Dietary intakes were assessed using a three-day estimated food record. Nutritional intake was calculated using the Nutri Survey software. Ballet dancers were slightly shorter, lighter, with less fat and fat-free mass compared to girls from ordinary school. 51.3% (95% CI 35.59 to 66.97) of bal…
Danza oriental, género y políticas coloniales: del cabaret moderno al mercado global de la cultura.
2015
La tesis doctoral “Danza oriental, género y políticas coloniales: del cabaret moderno al mercado global de la cultura” es un análisis historicista de la internacionalización de la práctica de la denominada danza del vientre u oriental desde la aparición de su forma escénica, dentro de la cultura urbana de fin-de-siècle, hasta la actualidad. En cuanto al marco teórico y metodología, este estudio parte de la historia y la etnología de la danza para ofrecer una aproximación interdisciplinar sirviéndose de los estudios de género, poscoloniales y culturales. La danza oriental es entendida como un sistema de representación simbólica que siendo expresión del cuerpo sexuado revela, particularmente,…
La maschia potenza. Pratiche ergologiche e coreutica rituale nella civiltà contadina
2020
In occasione di diverse celebrazioni religiose che scandiscono il calendario cerimoniale siciliano, in specie nel corso della Settimana Santa e di alcune feste patronali, possibile osservare delle modalità di trasporto dei fercoli processionali (vare) assai peculiari. I santi simulacri, infatti, in tali circostanze, sono fatti correre e danzare sia per le strade dei centri abitati sia, in rari casi, all’interno degli edifici religiosi. Il disordine che connota queste performances coreutiche solo apparente. Esse obbediscono in realtà a un preciso codice cinetico: i fercoli vengono ritmicamente alzati e abbassati sulle braccia dai portatori, roteano ripetutamente su se stessi facendo id…

Embodied Meter Revisited : Entrainment, Musical Content, and Genre in Music-Induced Movement
2022
Previous research has shown that humans tend to embody musical meter at multiple beat levels during spontaneous dance. This work that been based on identifying typical periodic movement patterns, or eigenmovements, and has relied on time-domain analyses. The current study: 1) presents a novel method of using time-frequency analysis in conjunction with group-level tensor decomposition; 2) compares its results to time-domain analysis, and 3) investigates how the amplitude of eigenmovements depends on musical content and genre. Data comprised three-dimensional motion capture of 72 participants’ spontaneous dance movements to 16 stimuli including eight different genres. Each trial was subjected…

Effects of a dynamic stretching warm-up on functional movement patterns in female hip-hop dancers
2022
Background: A large percentage of dancers suffer an injury to their musculoskeletal system at least once in their careers, as well as from pain caused by overloading or overtraining this system. A high frequency of injuries has been observed in hip-hop dancers. Before each workout, there should be a solid warm-up and stretching period. The lack of these two important elements increases the risk of injury. Aim of the study: This study aimed to examine the effects of dynamic stretching warm-ups on fundamental movement patterns in female hip-hop dancers. Material and methods: This study included 14 hip-hop female dancers, aged 15–17. Dancers participated in 6 weeks of dynamic stretching warm-u…

“Waiting for the Bass to Drop”: Correlations Between Intense Emotional Experiences and Production Techniques in Build-up and Drop Sections of Electro…
2014
This study investigates the correlations between theories of intense emotional experiences and production techniques used in the electronic dance music (EDM) sections “build-up” and “drop”, which are designed to build tension and create a heightened emotional intensity among clubbers. This is done by descriptive and interpretive music analysis, where spectrograms and a schematic model visually represent the dominant production techniques. Through a theoretical framework consisting of musical expectancy and gravity, the analysis suggests that i) extensive use of uplifters, ii) the “drum roll effect”, iii) large frequency changes, iv) removal and reintroduction of bass and bass drum and v) a …
