Música [religiosa] moderna en Corea del Norte / Modern North Korean [Religious] Music
2017
Music is a field where North Korea has been for decades engaging in consistent though not extensive international exchanges. Music is there a major national art form, on which a considerable amount of national resourcesis devoted, and the quality of musical education is high. Its practical uses are almost solely devoted to maintaining the legitimacy of the state and its leading dynasty up to a level where the distinction between nationalism and religion visibly evaporates. The musical establishment is hierarchically organized. At the top are court orchestras, such as the former Unhasu Orchestra, or the currently favoured Moranbong Band, whose style and repertoire is closely controlled by th…
Tradition and Legitimation in North Korea
2017
Since its debut in 2012, the Moranbong Band has served as a key symbol for the Kim Jongun-era ruling style, limited cosmopolitanism, and ultimately political conservatism. This article analyses the legitimacy strategies of North Korean official culture in the light of perceived internal needs for change, even as the foundations of the traditional personality cult remain intact and strengthened by the Band’s performances. Analysis of musical performances online and relevant comparative literature on North Korean music form the core of the article. Finally, the article shows the arc from the Band as an innovative symbol of possible liberalization into a far more conservative implement as time…
Music-related nostalgic experiences of young people living in migration
2012
Music is a powerful means for constructing identity – both formulating and remembering who one is (e.g., DeNora, 2000). A particular situation creating challenges for the sense of self is migration and living in a foreign environment. Therefore, this qualitative study focused on investigating music-related nostalgic experiences in young people living in migration. The aim of the study was to identify features characteristic to music-related nostalgia particularly in relation the experience of migration. Ten university students (aged between 24 – 40 years, 5 males, 5 females) took part in the study. The participants were all Iranian, currently living in migration (in Germany or Finland). Dat…

Sanarytmien vaikutus kuultujen rytmien oppimiseen
2015
Tutkielmani kohdistuu sanarytmien käyttöön rytmiikan oppimisessa. Kirjallisuuskatsauksessa käsitellään rytmiikan oppimista laajemminkin, koska sanarytmit ovat osa monimuotoista musiikillisen oppimisen kokonaisuutta. Musiikillinen ilmaisu on kehon ja mielen yhteistyötä: kehon avulla toteutetaan mielessä muodostuvia musiikillisia mielikuvia. Sanarytmit ovat oiva väline rytmisten mielikuvien kehittämiseen, ja hyvä koordinaatiokyky on edellytys onnistuneelle soittosuoritukselle. Tutkimukseni empiirinen aineisto liittyy sanarytmeihin. Tutkimukseni teoreettinen tausta muodostuu rytmiopista, rytmiikan oppimisen lähtökohdista ja didaktisista sovelluksista. Oppimisen lähtökohtina tar…
Data-driven analysis for fMRI during naturalistic music listening
2017
Interest towards higher ecological validity in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments has been steadily growing since the turn of millennium. The trend is reflected in increasing amount of naturalistic experiments, where participants are exposed to the real-world complex stimulus and/or cognitive tasks such as watching movie, playing video games, or listening to music. Multifaceted stimuli forming parallel streams of input information, combined with reduced control over experimental variables introduces number of methodological challenges associated with isolating brain responses to individual events. This exploratory work demonstrated some of those methodological challeng…
Early auditory processing in musicians and dancers during a contemporary dance piece
2016
AbstractThe neural responses to simple tones and short sound sequences have been studied extensively. However, in reality the sounds surrounding us are spectrally and temporally complex, dynamic and overlapping. Thus, research using natural sounds is crucial in understanding the operation of the brain in its natural environment. Music is an excellent example of natural stimulation which, in addition to sensory responses, elicits vast cognitive and emotional processes in the brain. Here we show that the preattentive P50 response evoked by rapid increases in timbral brightness during continuous music is enhanced in dancers when compared to musicians and laymen. In dance, fast changes in brigh…
Being Moved by Unfamiliar Sad Music Is Associated with High Empathy
2016
The paradox of enjoying listening to music that evokes sadness is yet to be fully understood. Unlike prior studies that have explored potential explanations related to lyrics, memories, and mood regulation, we investigated the types of emotions induced by unfamiliar, instrumental sad music, and whether these responses are consistently associated with certain individual difference variables. One hundred and two participants were drawn from a representative sample to minimize self-selection bias. The results suggest that the emotional responses induced by unfamiliar sad music could be characterized in terms of three underlying factors: Relaxing sadness, Moving sadness, and Nervous sadness. Re…
