Consists in the development and continuous improvement of tools, algorithms and computational models for extracting acoustic and kinematic parameters from both the audio signal and the three-dimensional spatial position of musicians, to support the requirements of internal research projects. Models for extraction and parameterization of musical expressiveness content Content analysis of note attack and note transitions in music performance Segmentation and parameterization of musician’s p…
Empirical research of musical performance, focusing on different aspects of musical expressiveness. These projects propose analytical models that seek to identify causal relations between the expressive intention of musicians and the way in which they manipulate the acoustic material and how they move when interpreting a musical work. Individuality, consistency and diversity of music performances Body movement in music performance: role and meaning
Aimed at investigating the synchronization/coordination process in small musical ensembles, these projects attempt to model musician’s interactions, using visual and acoustical responses collected during real musical performances simulations. Patterns of temporal synchronization and other types of coupling (intensity, note articulation) are observed and analyzed, in order to map acoustic and gesture-related elements that could influence the adjustment between musicians. Acoustical component of …
It takes as object of investigation the human behavior in musical activities mediated by technological tools directed to the learning and human development. Multimodal analysis of data extracted from music performance attempts to investigates how such tools can be used on the refinement of the expertise and skill development by students, teachers and professional musicians. Other projects seek to understand how human conditions and practices can be improved through its relation to sound and music. …
