Introduction to Gestural Similarity in Music. An Application of Category Theory to the Orchestra

2019

Mathematics, and more generally computational sciences, intervene in several aspects of music. Mathematics describes the acoustics of the sounds giving formal tools to physics, and the matter of music itself in terms of compositional structures and strategies. Mathematics can also be applied to the entire making of music, from the score to the performance, connecting compositional structures to acoustical reality of sounds. Moreover, the precise concept of gesture has a decisive role in understanding musical performance. In this paper, we apply some concepts of category theory to compare gestures of orchestral musicians, and to investigate the relationship between orchestra and conductor, a…

De Musica Disserenda, XII/1, 2016: Nineteenth-Century Music in Central Europe: Paradigms and Popular Canon

2016

Nations and nationalism have been a main research topic for decades, but the last few years have witnessed noticeable growth in these studies. The perspective generally accepted in the humanities – that demands for political independence of the nations in nineteenth-century Central Europe were premised on a sense of cultural identity – has also been taken up by contemporary musicological thought. Essays by philosopher and social anthropologist Ernest Gellner on “invented nations” in Nations and Nationalism (1983), or by historian and political scientist Benedict Anderson on “imagined communities” in Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (1991), supported …

Josep Melcior Gomis 1791-1836. Possibilitats de resistència i transgressió individual a la biografia d'un compositor valencià. Estudi i anàlisi de la…

2015

Tesi doctoral basada en un projecte interdisciplinari d'investigació on el propòsit de la tesi doctoral és l'estudi biogràfic plural inserit en les noves perspectives historiogràfiques del compositor valencià Josep Melcior Gomis (1791-1836) inserint-lo en el context modernitzador del nou Estat-Liberal però estudiant les capacitats de transgressió i radicalitat que el subjecte i el seu anhel biogràfic té davant del context i la societat. A més, es treballa l'anàlisi de la seva obra creativa, la transcripció de les seves partitures més dels diferents discursos de la música com a element col·lectiu identitari i els seus problemes historiogràfics. A més, la tesi doctoral estudia la identitat na…

Multisensory texture exploration at the tip of the pen

2016

A tool for the multisensory stylus-based exploration of virtual textures was used to investigate how different feedback modalities (static or dynamically deformed images, vibration, sound) affect exploratory gestures. To this end, we ran an experiment where participants had to steer a path with the stylus through a curved corridor on the surface of a graphic tablet/display, and we measured steering time, dispersion of trajectories, and applied force. Despite the variety of subjective impressions elicited by the different feedback conditions, we found that only nonvisual feedback induced significant variations in trajectories and an increase in movement time. In a post-experiment, using a pa…

Optimization of care through film music: practices in Secondary Education

2015

La estimulación del alumnado con Trastorno por Déficit de Atención debe implicar una activación del proceso cognitivo, físico y motor. El proceso metodológico que se propone para garantizar dicha estimulación atencional en el aula de Secundaria se centra en la audición, el movimiento, la composición y la improvisación a partir de música cinematográfica. La utilización de este tipo de música más próxima al alumnado supone un aumento de las posibilidades de cambio y la mejora de las respuestas de aprendizaje significativo, debido a la optimización de la atención a través de actividades musicales, más atractivas para el alumnado. Abstract: Stimulation of students with Attention Deficit Disorde…

Musical training predicts cerebello-hippocampal coupling during music listening.

2018

Cerebello-hippocampal interactions occur during accurate spatiotemporal prediction of movements. In the context of music listening, differences in cerebello-hippocampal functional connectivity may result from differences in predictive listening accuracy. Using functional MRI, we studied differences in this network between 18 musicians and 18 nonmusicians while they listened to music. Musicians possess a predictive listening advantage over nonmusicians, facilitated by strengthened coupling between produced and heard sounds through lifelong musical experience. Thus, we hypothesized that musicians would exhibit greater functional connectivity than nonmusicians as a marker of accurate online pr…

Tactics of invisibility : How people in vulnerable positions make datafied everyday life livable

2022

Various data platforms force the individual into constant presence and visibility. However, the ways in which datafied environments relate to experienced vulnerabilities in our everyday lives remain unclear. Through diaries produced by and interviews with participants from three groups who occupy presumably vulnerable positions and who currently live in Finland, we explore the ways in which people challenge expectations and prior assumptions related to forced visibility. Using the concept of tactics developed by de Certeau, we aim to understand how individuals make everyday surveillance culture livable through what we call tactics of invisibility. Based on our analysis, we identify three k…
