Music Psychology informed mixed methods and a person-centred approach as the most suitable means to capture and understand the multiple and varied aspects of a complex intervention. Disciplinary background B. Community Music’s principles of facilitating creative and musical potential of all participants provided the area of interest for investigation. Abstract Aims of this research were exploratory, seeking to identify and understand key psychological and communicative processes taking place during Community Music workshops. Community music (CM) can have powerful impacts on the lives and musicality of people with additional support needs (ASN). A previous study found that music workshops for a group of young adults with diverse ASN led to an ongoing enthusiasm to engage in music; wider recognition of musicality; increased self-confidence; being happier and/or more relaxed; and better ability to interact with unfamiliar situations and people (Wilson & MacDonald 2019). A second study with the same CM organisation demonstrated improvements in individuals’ self-expression, confidence, mood, and social skills across three groups of varied ages and abilities in different areas (MacGlone et al., 2020). Therefore, further investigation is required to identify which aspects of the interventions were effective in achieving these outcomes, from both practitioners’ and participants’ perspectives. For this reason, this paper’s focus explores communicative processes between workshop participants and practitioners during the workshops. In keeping with person-centred research, capturing and understanding participants’ experience may present particular practical challenges, for example, when researching a group comprised of people with different ASN. Both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered from the second study mentioned previously (MacGlone et al., 2020) to address the aims. Interviews were held with 5 community musicians which investigated their approaches to and experiences of delivering the workshops. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. Thematic analysis, which seeks to identify, analyse, and report patterns (themes) within data (Braun & Clarke, 2014) was applied.

Baglini","doi":"10.2218/cim22.1a14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2218/cim22.1a14","url":null,"abstract":"Disciplinary background A. Music Psychology. When a sweeping pandemic forced social participation into hibernation in early 2020, musical creators and consumers moved their activities online, embracing emerging technology and inventing a stylistically diverse universe of coronamusic (Hansen, 2021; Hansen et al., 2021). Interest in corona-themed music became the foremost predictor of music-aided psychological coping with a functional bifurcation between those experiencing negative and positive emotions: the former used music for self-directed emotion regulation whereas the latter used it as a proxy for social interaction (Fink et al., 2021). Indeed, approach coping has been linked with positive affect during lockdown (Eden et al., 2020), and humor, joy, and togetherness dominated anecdotal media reports about pandemic music-making (Hansen et al., 2021). Yet, quantitative investigations of positivity bias and functional bifurcation in coronamusic repertoires and in text- and video-based musical participation online are absent. Disciplinary background B. Linguistics. In mapping psychological coping, social media data are complementary to self-report surveys in detecting broader trends in behavioral patterns at national and global levels on a more granular timescale. Such data types are multifaceted, including information about social networks, engagement (e.g., streams, likes, shares), and user-generated content (e.g., profiles, comments, posts). Natural Language Processing (NLP) offers adequate tools for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting large corpora of text-based user data from online sources in real-time as events—such as the coronavirus pandemic—unfold (Liu et al., 2021). Although NLP has been widely applied to research on digital behavior, its full potential for studying musical phenomena remains to be seen. Abstract To investigate if and how key findings from music-psychological self-report questionnaires manifest in participatory corona-musicking online during pandemic lockdown. Sentiment in text corpora sourced from Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, and public news media was quantified using NLTK’s Vader Analyzer (Hutto & Gilbert, 2014) and Sentiwordnet (Baccianella et al., 2010): specifically, (i) non-music-related (n=16,619,492) and music-related (n=205,912) COVID-19-themed tweets from March-May 2020 (Qazi, Imran, & Ofli, 2020); (ii) 119,926 comments posted to the “ListenToThis” and “LetsTalkMusic” subreddits during March-May 2019 and 2020; (iii) YouTube comments (n=2*63,393) posted in response to 329 English-language coronamusic videos matched with non-coronamusic controls; (iv) transcribed lyrics from some of these videos; and (v) coronamusic-related news coverage from the Coronavirus subset of the NOW corpus (English-Corpora.org, n.d).

Music. The study is informed by music studies focusing on interpersonal synchronisation during musical interactions between individuals with little or no formal musical training. Disciplinary background B. Psychology. The study draws on research work in psychology that focuses on trait empathy and the emergence of social bonding through non-verbal interactions. Abstract The present study aims to explore how trait empathy mediates the feelings of closeness, similarity and empathy stemming from synchronous musical interactions in individuals with little or no formal musical training. In addition, the study seeks to explore how changes in the musical and social environment of a joint action might influence this role of empathy in mediating the affiliative effects of synchronisation. Background: In the last decades, research has revealed that moving, tapping or playing music in synchrony with others fosters group cohesion and social bonding (Vicaria & Dickens, 2016; Stupacher, Maes et al., 2017). Researchers have also recently observed an association between trait empathy and the strength of those social bonding effects stemming from synchronisation, i.e. one might experience stronger or weaker effects depending on their empathy level (Stupacher, Mikkelsen & Vuust, 2021). However, this mediating role of empathy appears highly susceptible to changes in the musical and social environment of an interaction and requires further investigation (Stupacher, Mikkelsen & Vuust, 2021). We, therefore, sought to explore the changes that might influence this role of empathy by implementing two different musical settings (a finger-tapping and an observational task - social changes) with music in three different tempi (musical changes). The purpose of the two tasks was to detect any differences in the role of empathy when individuals actively engage or passively observe a musical interaction. Furthermore, the different tempi sought to elucidate further the impact of music on this relationship between empathising and synchronising with others. Methods: Eighty-five participants with little or no previous musical training were recruited, and their empathy was measured using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (","PeriodicalId":91671,"journal":{"name":"CIM14, Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology : proceedings.

Biomusicology: Music is an example of the Humboldt system (Merker, 2002) which consists of a restricted number of units organized according to particular rules. The arrangement of these units is often called ‘syntax’ and it necessitates a special form of neural processing (Patel, 1998). The neural processing of musical syntax is based on two types of analysis (i.e. spectral and temporal analyses) (Zatorre, Belin, & Penhune, 2002) which result in the experience of musical pitch and rhythm hierarchies. As a rhythm hierarchy is experienced as a periodical scheme of accents (meter) that occurs when we listen to a succesion of rhythm measures (rhythm) the hierarchical patterns in this domain can be called ‘metro-rhythmical patterns.’ However, while the hierarchical schemes of discrete pitch patterns seem to be unique to music, the metro-rhythmical patterns can be produced both in the auditory and motor domains by the means of vocalizations and body movements respectively. As the result, the metro-rhythmical part of musical structure can be interpreted by the means of body movements in dance (Sievers, Polansky, Casey, & Wheatley, 2013). Disciplinary background B. Psychology of Music: The experience of rhythm hierarchies, being pre-conceptual and motor in nature, became the cross-modal mental reference of syntactic relations as the result of the evolution of cortical and subcortical interactions. This view is supported by the facts that the experience and recognition of metro-rhythmical patterns does not necessitate any awareness of conceptual properties, and that the auditory-motor synchronization – the ability that is crucial for the production of rhythm syntax, is based on cortico-subcortical loops (Li et al., 2015). Abstract Music and dance are vital components of human togetherness. The main aim of this presentation is to show that our sense of participation in dance and music is based on the syntactic processing of metro-rhythmical and pitch hierarchies.

Musicology has always relied on the notion of an epistemological gap between music and language. Even though New Musicology has attempted to rethink and underline the importance of different types of discourse about music (Kramer 2003), the topic of \"music in literature\" remains, with some exceptions, somewhat unexplored by musicologists. Disciplinary background B. In turn, Literature has fostered many different reflections about the importance of music in literature. These studies are intrinsically connected to the development of the field of Word and Music Studies, which has motivated the emergence of terminology such as ‘verbal music’ (Scher 1970), and the 'musical novel' (Petermann 2014). Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to the study of 'music in literature' and to analyse fictional 'verbal music' (Scher 1970) from a musicological perspective, by approaching the reader as co-creator and listener, thus aiming to understand how the verbal description of imaginary music in a novel can interact and alter the way we perceive, interpret and think about music. As a literary description of a piece of music that does not exist or cannot be identified, imaginary music presents itself as a kind of empty space, or a blank canvas, that fosters communication, participation and, consequently, the proliferation of meaning. I will focus on the novel Kafka on the Shore (2002) by Haruki Murakami and analyse the case of imaginary music included in the text, as well as different attempts to transpose this inaudible verbal description to the musical medium. On Youtube, there are seven different musical interpretations of the song \"Kafka on the shore\". Although they are all based on the lyrics presented in Murakami's novel, each song choses a particular language, instrumentation, melodic gestures and tempo, which, in turn, motivate different reactions from the users that have read Murakami's work. These intermedial transpositions and the debates that they stimulate allow us to better understand the importance of language","PeriodicalId":91671,"journal":{"name":"CIM14, Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology : proceedings.
