A Crowd-Sourced Database of Coronamusic: Documenting Online Making and Sharing of Music During the COVID-19 Pandemic

2021

When a sweeping COVID-19 pandemic forced cultural venues, schools, and social hangouts into hibernation in early 2020, music life relocated to the digital world. On social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, sofas and balconies took center stage for musical performances presented as live-streamed concerts and recorded videos. Amateurs and professional musicians alike embraced digital formats and innovated novel genres of corona-themed music. We will refer to the products of this musical phenomenon collectively as "coronamusic." Adapting a well-known term from cultural musicology (Small, 1999), the diverse practices of listening, playing, dancing, composing, rehearsi…

Relationships Between Audio and Movement Features, and Perceived Emotions in Musical Performance

2023

A core aspect of musical performance is communicating emotional and expressive intentions to the audience. Recognition of the musician's intentions is constructed from a combination of visual and auditory performance cues, as well as compositional features. The current study attempted to quantify these contributions by measuring relationships between ratings of perceived emotion, and motion and auditory performance features. A pianist and violinist with advanced degrees in music performance individually performed four short western tonal pieces. The musicians were tasked with performing the pieces while invoking different expressive intentions: sad, happy, angry, and as a control, deadpan. …

Who enjoys listening to sad music and why?

2011

although people generally avoid negative emotional experiences in general, they often enjoy sadness portrayed in music and other arts. The present study investigated what kinds of subjective emotional experiences are induced in listeners by sad music, and whether the tendency to enjoy sad music is associated with particular personality traits. One hundred forty-eight participants listened to 16 music excerpts and rated their emotional responses. As expected, sadness was the most salient emotion experienced in response to sad excerpts. However, other more positive and complex emotions such as nostalgia, peacefulness, and wonder were also evident. Furthermore, two personality traits – Opennes…

Emotions of music listening in Finland and in India : Comparison of an individualistic and a collectivistic culture

2020

Music is appreciated for emotional reasons across cultures, but knowledge on the cross-cultural similarities and differences of music-evoked emotions is still sparse. The current study compared music-evoked emotions in Finland and in India, contextualizing them within the perceived psychological functionality of music in an individualistic versus collectivistic culture. Participants ( N = 230) answered an online survey on music-evoked emotions and related personal meanings. A mixed-method approach using factor analysis and qualitative content analysis was used to identify the concepts for cross-cultural comparison. Results show that both cultures value music for positive emotional experien…

Vaikuttaako emotionaalinen taustamusiikki vihaisten kasvoilmemuutosten esitietoiseen tiedonkäsittelyyn muutossokeusparadigmassa?

2011

Uhkaavat tai vihaiset ärsykkeet havaitaan neutraaleja ja muita emotionaalisia ärsykkeitä tehokkaammin, mikä johtunee tietoisuutta edeltävistä esitietoisista havaintoprosesseista. Usein ympäristön viestit toisaalta havaitaan eri aisti-informaatioita yhdistellen aistipiirien välisen (engl. cross-modal) tiedonkäsittelyn myötä, jolloin nähdyn (emotionaaliseen) käsittelyyn voisi vaikuttaa esimerkiksi samalla kuultu taustamusiikki. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää uhkan esitietoisen prosessoinnin mahdollisuutta sekä emotionaalisen taustamusiikin roolia visuaalisten uhkaärsykkeiden tiedonkäsittelyssä. Tätä tutkittiin muutossokeusparadigmalla, jossa esitettiin nopeita neutraalista viha…

Women's Emotions Towards the Mobile Phone

2012

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether women's emotions associate differently with the mobile phone depending on the type of family in which they live. James A. Russell's circumplex model of affect which explores four main emotional dimensions, excitement, distress, depression and contentment, was applied. The article is based on the female sub-sample (N = 3,704) of nationally representative survey data collected from Italy, France, the UK, Germany and Spain (N = 7,255) in 2009. The results show that it is women living in blended families who seem to associate more distress and less feelings of contentment with the mobile phone than women living in other types of family. peerRe…
