In this article, I will discuss listening to binaural recordings of Helsinki metro tunnels through the concepts of digital anthropology and naftology, the philosophy of the experience of oil. The digital is understood in this context as material culture and also as a constitutive part of corporeality. By conceptualising binaural recordings both as instrument and device for sensing the sonic environments, I argue that the acoustic epistemologies within the digital material culture will produce relevant knowledge on sensing and experiencing the changing environments.

The paper examines the sonic experiences of the listener in digital environments by using a Bluetooth speaker as an example. It discusses how the everyday use of a speaker highlights human beings’ material and multi-sensory situatedness in digital environments. Based on the analytical approaches concerning embodiment, movement, and infrastructures, the paper aims to develop further the idea of musicking in everyday life contexts. It suggests that in addition to the social importance of music, the material approach to musicking reveals new political and ethical questions, especially those concerning the power of code and planetary sustainability.

Music technologies reflect the most advanced human technologies in most historical periods. Examples range from 40 thousand years old bone flutes found in caves in the Swabian Jura, through ancient Greek water organs or medieval Arabic musical automata, to today’s electronic and digital instruments with deep learning. Music technologies incorporate the musical ideas of a time and place and they disseminate those ideas when adopted by other musical cultures. This article explores how contemporary music technologies are culturally conditioned and applies the concept of ethno-organology to describe the nature of migration of instruments between musical cultures.

Co-regulated timing in a music ensemble rests on the human capacity to coordinate actions in time. Here we explore the hypothesis that humans predict timing constancy in coordinated actions, in view of timing their own actions in line with the others. An algorithm (BListener) is presented that predicts timing constancy, using Bayesian inference about incoming timing data from the music ensemble. The algorithm is then applied to a timing analysis of real data, first, to a choir consisting of four singers, then, to a dataset containing performances of duet singers. Global features of timing constancy, such as fluctuation and stability, correlate with human subjective estimates of the music ensembles’ quality and associated experienced agency. In future work, BListener could serve as component in an artificial musician that plays along with human musicians in a music ensemble.

A thing becomes a musical instrument by virtue of its use in a social context, a use of which its initial intended design (if it had one) forms only a part: sometimes a very small part. Drawing on the notion of the ‘performance ecosystem’ this papersuggests that instrument designers/makers working with digital technologies might fruitfully attend further to the social contexts/constructs that characterise every level of musicking. It looks at the emergent, situated co-development of player, instrument and environment, suggesting that humans habitually use instruments to sense out, test and probe the possibilities of self-other relations in dynamic, mutually-engaging, and often playful and improvised behaviours.1 11 The entanglements (see e.g. Hodder, 2012) of the title are therefore the complex network of interrelations between objects, humans, environments, histories and ideas. Such co-dependencies may operate irrespective of physical or historical distance, and though pervasive may also be temporary or unpredictable.?>

This paper studies the music from the sixteenth century Coimbra manuscripts using both traditional musicological approaches and techniques based on statistical analysis and machine learning. A particular focus is placed on gaining insights into the origins of the anonymous and doubtfully attributed mass movements, looked at through the lens of potential stylistic differences between the Iberian and Franco-Flemish musical traditions of the time. Another goal is to explore the origins of the Coimbra works in the historical, political and social context of the reception of foreign repertoires.

We aim to increase user engagement in unfamiliar music. We investigated listening duration for 100 unfamiliar art music items from the Australian Music Centre (AMC) library, presented under four different exposure conditions: a continuous affect response task, text/photographic information, text only, and no information. Participants could skip each item, and provided post-excerpt liking or familiarity ratings. Time-series analysis models of listening duration, liking, and familiarity, showed no increase in successive item liking or familiarity, although user liking and familiarity, positively predicted listening duration. The data confirm that directing listeners’ attention to discerning affect can enhance their engagement with unfamiliar music.

This paper details a corpus study examining Renaissance voice-leading practices. Palestrina’s masses are searched for progressions matching contrapuntal ‘rules’ taken from Vicentino (1555). Vicentino’s treatise provides a quasi-systematic organization of contrapuntal rules according to the minimum size of the vocal texture in which they ought to be set. Palestrina’s realizations of these progressions illustrate the exact size of vocal texture employed, enabling a direct comparison of theory and practice. The analysis reveals a general agreement, but suggests that Vicentino’s taxonomy is too strict. The results are examined in the context of uncovering guiding theoretical and perceptual principles.

The automatic recognition of scanned Medieval manuscripts written in square notation still represents a challenge due to degradation, non-standard layouts, or notations. We propose to apply CNN/LSTM networks that are trained using the segmentation-free CTC-loss-function. For evaluation, we use three different manuscripts and achieve a diplomatic Symbol Accuracy Rate (dSAR) of 86.0% on the most difficult book and 92.2% on the cleanest one. A neume dictionary during decoding yields a relative improvement of about 5%. Finally, we perform a thorough error analysis to provide a deeper insight into problems of the algorithm.

An interesting aspect of Indian art music is the prominent place of improvisation in performance. We explore the influence of the structural constraints of the genre on raga motifs in the course of improvisation. Audio recordings of North Indian vocal concerts are analysed to extract measurements of the defining parameters of the recurrent melodic phrases that characterise the raga in performance. While improvisation relates to choosing the sequence of phrases at the larger time scales, we show that the categorical nature of the musical melodies is preserved through the interaction of the phrases with the changing melodic and rhythmic contexts.
