Report on the 10th International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus17)
2018
The 10th annual International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus) took place on September 13–15, 2017, at Queen Mary University of London (UoL). The SysMus series has established itself as an international, student-run conference series aimed at introducing graduate students to networking and discussing their work in an academic conference environment. The term “Systematic Musicology,” first coined by Guido Adler (1885), nowadays covers a wide range of systematic or empirical approaches to theoretical, psychological, neuroscientific, ethnographic, and computational methodologies in music research. Presentations for SysMus17 focused on three central topics in relation t…
Measuring Aksak Rhythm and Synchronization in Transylvanian Village Music by Using Motion Capture
2015
<p>Techniques based on motion capture can be useful in <span><span style="font-size: x-small;">analyzing a wide range of musical styles and practices</span></span>: in this case, Transylvanian village music. We focused on a repertoire known as “Gypsy songs of sorrow”, played by professional Gypsy musicians during parties and celebrations of their own community. Two parameters were the object of study: rhythmic duration, and synchronization between musicians (a violinist and a viola player). Results show that rhythm is a local variant of <em>aksak</em> and is based on two duration units (S=short, L=long) which respect the formula 2:3 &lt; S:L &am…
Is it me or the music? : Stress reduction and the role of regulation strategies and music
2019
Music is a common resource for the regulation of emotions, moods, and stress. This study aimed at determining the individual and relative impact on stress reduction of two of the main factors involved in musical affect regulation: regulation strategies and music itself. The current study took place in an experimental setting and followed a factorial within-subjects design. First, the participants ( n = 34) filled in an online survey where they identified their self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” music examples for the purpose of reducing stress and self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” strategies for the same purpose. In the lab they went through a stress induction procedure and then w…
Música medieval al més enllà
2007
According to the Middle Ages anthropomorphic and anachronical conception, in the other world -in heaven and in hell- they play, listen and dance different musics, vochal and instrumental, mystical hymns or torture shapes. There is too a defined and giving legitimation liturgycal and musical collaboration between heaven and earth’s church, which devils try to sabotage. And different heavenly and hellish attitudes, from pleasure to absolut condemnation, towards human musicians and musics.
¿Música o magia? La presentación de las ondas musicales de Maurice Martenot en España
2015
On 1928, the French musician Maurice Martenot presented at Paris Opera a new electronic musical instrument which he called musical waves. It had success like only a few and attracted the interest of the composers, Martenot strove to spread it with a initial tour that took it all around the world between 1931 and 1932. From the information given by the press –because there are not more references– this article aims to rebuild the presentation of the instrument in Spain all along 1932, to report about the reception by the review and to justify the mystery that involved the instrument because of its unknown electronic running and its performance only with the hands movement on the air.En 1928,…
Access-Awareness-Agency (AAA) Model of Music-Based Social-Emotional Competence (MuSEC)
2019
Social–emotional competence (SEC) is a set of psychological resources, highly relevant for adaptive growth and wellbeing. Music has been argued to support social–emotional skills, yet there is little theoretical consensus about the underlying impact mechanisms and the special nature of music as a medium for SEC. This article presents a theoretical model of music-based SEC that combines research from general SEC models with music-specific literature from music psychology, music education, music therapy, and music for health and wellbeing. The proposed access-awareness-agency (AAA) model defines music-based social–emotional competence (MuSEC) as interplay of embodied access, reflective awaren…
Professional Competences of Music Therapists Working in Post-stroke Rehabilitation
2012
The aim of this qualitative study is to gain more insight into the skills and knowledge that music therapists feel they need, in order to work successfully with people who have had an acute stroke. For this purpose, six music therapists were interviewed about their own particular specialist education. Another interview topic for them was to recount their subjective experiences of poststroke rehabilitation work in hospitals and health care units during the course of two projects that they participated in. The first was a project that specifically used music listening during acute stroke rehabilitation; and the second was a project, which used more active music therapy techniques, like drummi…
La utilización de las preferencias musicales de los estudiantes desde un enfoque crítico. Hacia una educación musical democratizadora
2021
Una de las principales funciones que se asigna a las instituciones escolares es la de construir sujetos activos y críticos que contribuyan al desarrollo de las sociedades democráticas. Se trata de un objetivo transversal que debe tener su concreción en cada una de las áreas de conocimiento. Generalmente, este tipo de fin se persigue mediante la utilización de enfoques educativos críticos. En este sentido, aquí se estudian las posibilidades y dificultades didácticas que implican la incorporación de un enfoque de este tipo en la asignatura de música durante los últimos cursos de la etapa de educación primaria. Para ello, se ha implementado un proceso de investigación acción de dos ciclos en e…
Music May Reduce Loneliness and Act as Social Surrogate for a Friend: Evidence from an Experimental Listening Study
2020
After losing a close other, individuals usually confide in an empathic friend to receive comfort and they seem to have a heightened desire for mood-congruent, consoling music. Hence, it has been proposed that affect-congruent music acts as a social surrogate for an empathic friend. Thus, we hypothesized that listening to comforting music, as a response to a social loss experience, provides a sense of empathic company as indicated by reduced loneliness and heightened empathy. We further predicted that distracting music would have a stronger impact on the listeners’ mood in comparison to comforting pieces. To test these assumptions, an experiment with two factors was designed: (1) Sadness wa…
Interrelaciones entre acción y cognición. Aportaciones de la neurociencia a la educación rítmico-musical
2020
Body movement has played an important role in music education and there appears to be a consensus that it is one of the most effective means to develop rhythmic skills. In this article, we relate and analyze recent findings of neurocognitive research that support formative actions in this direction. Some results show that the link between sensory and motor systems provides a sophisticated mechanism of temporal prediction and feedback, which has led to the belief that body expression influences the way certain rhythmic elements are perceived. Finally, we propose some suggestions for rhythm education in school and cross training perspectives related to the link between music and movement. El …
