Zarlino, one of the most important music theorists XVI century, described minor consonances as ‘sweet’ (dolci) and ‘soft’ (soavi) (Zarlino 1558/1983, in On Modes New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1983). Hector Berlioz, his Treatise on Modern Instrumentation Orchestration (London: Novello, 1855), speaks about ‘small acid-sweet voice’ oboe. In line with this tradition describing musical concepts terms taste words, recent empirical studies have found reliable associations between perception...

Purpose – This paper aims to extend current understanding concerning the cross-modal correspondences between sounds and tastes by introducing new research tools experimental data study associations their reflections music taste. Design/methodology/approach The experiment design addresses multidisciplinary approach using cultural, chemical statistical analysis methods. Findings provides further evidence that exposure “sweet” or “sour” musical pieces influences people’s food-related thinking...

While there is broad consensus about the structural similarities between language and music, comparably less attention has been devoted to semantic correspondences these two ubiquitous manifestations of human culture. We have investigated relations music a narrow bounded domain semantics: words concepts referring taste sensations. In recent work, we found that were consistently mapped musical parameters. Bitter associated with low-pitched continuous (legato), salty characterized by silences...

Abstract Several studies have examined how music may affect the evaluation of food and drink, but vast majority not observed this interaction unfolds in time. This seems to be quite relevant, since both consumer experience food/drink are time-varying nature. In present study we sought fix gap, using Temporal Dominance Sensations (TDS), a method developed record dominant sensory attribute at any given moment time, examine impact on wine taster’s perception. More specifically, assessed same...

Several recent studies have examined the impact of music on evaluation food and drink, but none relied time-based methods. Since food/drink are both time-varying in nature, it would seem only appropriate to take temporality into account when studying eating/drinking experience. A common method sensory products is time-intensity (TI), where a specific attribute measured over time. In present investigation, we used TI analysis measure temporal changes sweetness sourness evaluations an off-dry...

Music is known to elicit strong emotions in listeners, and, if primed appropriately, can give rise specific and observable crossmodal correspondences. This study aimed assess two primary objectives: (1) identifying correspondences emerging from music-induced emotions, (2) examining the predictability of based on association music with visual shapes materials.To achieve this, 176 participants were asked associate materials emotion classes Geneva Music-Induced Affect Checklist scale (GEMIAC)...

INTRODUCTION: In this paper we discuss concepts and practices that point to a new field of ubiquitous music (ubimus) research centered on domestic settings. OBJECTIVES: The objective is document share preliminary study the use taste as trigger for creative decis

We present three digital systems: the Augmented Glass, Bone-Conduction Hookah, and sound installation T2M, designed for displaying taste stimuli, with applications in research on crossmodal taste-sound interactions, multisensory experiences performances, entertainment health.

Reported studies about crossmodal correspondences between music and smell basically focus on individual musical parameters. An experiment was carried out to explore such emerging from improvisation elicited by 20 olfactory stimuli, which allows the study of multiple parameters at same time. A group 14 pianists asked each stimulus play a short free inspired it. From improvisation, were extracted. The odorants also described panel 15 volunteers. main outcomes following: 1) mean sensory ratings...

We examine the emergence of aesthetic emotions in an exploratory study on a mixed reality (MR) gastrosonic experience. Participants art-science event completed AESTHEMOS questionnaire and Multimodal Presence Scale, reporting wide spectrum prototypical, pleasant epistemic emotions. Food enjoyment was correlated with prototypical fascination enchantment feelings self-presence were being moved/in awe. Crossmodally matched food highly congruent music visuals. Our findings suggest relevance...

We study vibrato as the more ubiquitous manifestation of a nonstationary tone that can evoke single overall pitch. Some recent results using nonsymmetrical tones suggest perceived pitch could be governed by some stability‐sensitive mechanism. For sounds adequate tools are time–frequency representations (TFRs). show recently proposed TFR simplest framework to explain this hypothetical propose one‐parameter model within is able predict previously reported and we present new obtained from...

In this work, the overall perceived pitch (principal pitch) of pure tones modulated in frequency with an asymmetric waveform is studied. The dependence principal on degree modulation was obtained from a psychophysical experiment. consisted flat portion constant and two linear segments forming peak. Consistent previous results, significant shifts respect to time-averaged geometric mean were observed. direction always toward modulation. results experiment, along those previously reported...

Reliable crossmodal correspondences between basic tastes and music features have been found in recent studies [1,2]. In this work, we explore associations scales, chords tastes. Several of these elementary musical structures show non-random patterns matching with Moreover, their aggregate dyadic consonance [3] anti-correlates the relative frequency to bitter taste.

We present a model of style emergence based on flocking models. The system stabilizes in states with several non-interacting genres or clusters, and the delayed dynamic yields more styles than non-delayed ones.

This text is an overview for Latin America across the field of music and musicology intersecting mathematics, including advances from perspectives experimentation, creation, analysis pedagogy throughout interdisciplinary developments, particularly in computational science philosophy science.Our main goal to spread worldwide richness variety research on mathematics as well stimulate further investigation this fascinating intersection.

Musical theory has built on the premise that musical structures can refer to something different from themselves (Nattiez and Abbate, 1990). The aim of this work is statistically corroborate intuitions thinkers practitioners starting at least with Plato, music express complex human concepts beyond merely "happy" "sad" (Mattheson Lenneberg, 1958). To do so, we ask whether improvisations be used classify semantic category word triggers them. We investigated two specific domains semantics:...

Vibrato is the more ubiquitous manifestation of a non-stationary tone that can evoke single overall pitch, called principal pitch. Some recent results using non-symmetrical vibrato tones suggest perceived pitch could be governed by some stability-sensitive mechanism. A recently proposed one-parameter model based on time-frequency reassignment was able to predict previously reported results. [B. Mesz and M. C. Eguia, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 1169, 126–130 (2009)].
