This paper is an explorative interaction design study focusing on the development of a wearable device for enhanced learning of bodily skills. It uses a variation of technology scouting and matchmaking to explore possible technologies related to assistive technology for learning. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people in the concerne...
This dissertation addresses the analysis of data emerging in the field of music neuroscience, specifically data collected from neurophysiological monitoring techniques that can be modeled as random objects in spaces of smooth functions. Spaces equipped with a Hilbert structure offer a versatile and elegant framework for the generalization of variou...
The aim of this chapter is to highlight challenges involved in the successful deployment of the rather young paradigm of embodied music cognition in the comprehensive domain of health and wellbeing. Both our current society and systematic musicology are experiencing transitions that have given rise to cross-disciplinary research collaboration betwe...
Au cours des dernières années, l’avènement des technologies de captation du mouvement a radicalement transformé l’univers de la pratique artistique tout en ouvrant des perspectives inédites pour la recherche scientifique. La musique est actuellement l’un des domaines les plus impliqués dans ce renouvellement expressif et épistémologique. Dans ce ca...
Background Music performance has a strong corporeal dimension, involving different types of gestures (technical gestures, expressive gestures, etc.) that performers employ to transform a written score into live music (Leman 2007). This transformation is based on the musical intentions that arise from the performers’ personal interpretation of the c...
In our engagement with music, not only the physical experience of sound is important. Also the interplay between body movements, musical gestures and the cognitive processes of performers and listeners is part of our experience. Yet, this multimodal aspect is not always fully considered when analyzing music performance. In this paper, we want to es...
From existing literature overviews (e.g. Webster, 2002, 2011; Frankel, 2010) and from a growing number of books devoted to technology in music education (e.g. Finney & Burnard, 2009; Manzo, 2011; Rudolph, 2005; Watson, 2011), it becomes clear that computer-based applications are playing an increasingly important role in the field of music education...
Background in qualitative performance analysis. Gesture has an impact on the expression and communicative process. It is through the use of gesture that inner cognitive processes are translated into external form. These gestures can be thematically coded to elucidate the information transmission system, in which gesture plays an active constructive...
Background in Music Performance. Previous research proposes a relationship between respiration and the communicative processes of dramatic expression in operatic singing. Controlled respiration is an essential component in operatic singing, providing the singer with support for a proper production of tone and an important factor in the structuring ...
Interactive music systems offer new possibilities to support instrumental music teaching by providing a corporeally grounded experience as a basis for understanding music and music playing. In this paper we introduce the Music Paint Machine, a device that enables music performers to make a painting on a computer screen by playing their instrument. ...
