Abstract:

Relying on four distinctive types of evidence: her recorded music, written documentation produced in East Africa, interviews with men and women who heard her perform and records of company executives I compare perspectives regarding the source of power and authority attributed to her voice as well as the meaning of her music. Siti binti Saadi was the first East African to have her voice captured and reproduced on 78 rpm gramophone disks. The production o

Abstract:

This study explores the experience of timelessness in music by examining the musical parameters that are in play and how those musical parameters affect and are affected by memory and expectation. I propose three types of musical timelessness that are derived from specific perceptual transitions and based on my analytical findings in music within the indie-rock, post-rock, and electronica/experimental music scenes.

Abstract:

We investigated the concurrent effects of arousal and encoding specificity as related to background music on associative memory accuracy. Extant literature suggested these factors affect memory, but their combined effect in musical stimuli was not clear and may affect memory differentially for young and older adults. Specifically, we sought to determine if music can be used as a mnemonic device to overcome the associative memory deficits typically experienced by healthy older adults. We used a paired-associates memory task in which young and older adults listened to either highly or lowly arou

Abstract:

This thesis investigates recorded music in everyday life and its relationship to memory. It does this by establishing the social and historical context in which sound recording was invented and developed, and by formulating a theory of how recorded music signifies. It argues that musical recordings do not simply facilitate remembering but are equally bound up with processes of forgetting. Each chapter of the thesis examines a different aspect of the relationship between recorded music and memory. Chapter one analyses the origins of sound recording and charts its subsequent development in terms

The research described in this thesis investigates the mental processes underlying the reading and recall of piano music. The first study examined memory for good and poor piano music as a function of sight-reading ability and different presentation and recall conditions. The findings indicated that whilst sight-reading accuracy had little effect on recall, sight-reading tempo was highly correlated with recall success. Good music was easier to recall than poor music, and written recall procedures generated greater recall success than played recall procedures. Played recall procedures were foun

This study was carried out in order to discover new strategies to memorize piano music. There are six different types of memory involved in performing: auditory, kinesthetic, visual, analytical, nominal and emotional. There are two main ways of practicing: playing practice and non-playing practice. I tried to find out if the order in which we use these two kinds of practice affects the quality of the memorization. During one week I practiced three different pieces following three different methods: 1 Using only playing practice; 2 using first playing practice and then non-playing practice; 3 u

Abstract:

Many models of memory retrieval assume that events in a sequential context are incorporated in planned representations during sequence production. Serial ordering errors, in which correct events are produced in incorrect sequence positions, offer evidence for the simultaneous accessibility of sequential elements. Musical sequences pose a challenge to contextual models of planning; contextual relationships among events in music may enhance sequence planning and retrieval, contrary to traditional effects of list length on forgetting. We tested predictions of the range model (Palmer & Pfordres

Auditory-motor skills such as speaking or playing a musical instrument require skill in processing auditory outcomes and performing actions that produce those outcomes. A growing body of evidence suggests that perception and production components of auditory-motor skill are integrated by reciprocal auditory-to-motor and motor-to-auditory interactions. Much remains unknown about how complex auditory sequences map to complex movement sequences such as those required of speech or music performance. Less still is known about how auditory-motor interactions influence the way skilled performers lear

Abstract:

Music often evokes strong emotions, such as excitement, joy, and nostalgia. These emotions can be highly pleasurable and accompanied by increased physiological arousal. Pleasure-inducing music activates a network of brain regions including the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), striatum, and amygdala. In Experiment 1, I explore the neural structures critical for music-evoked pleasure. I hypothesize that individuals with damage to brain regions involved in emotional responses to music (e.g., mPFC, striatum, amygdala) will show a decrease in their pleasurable responses to music after brain injury.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the relationship of music and cultural memory in a migrant community, namely the Turkish diaspora in Berlin, Germany, and the changing patterns of music consumption within generations. Music is a significant agent that helps communities bridge the past and present time and place and carries the material that is used to create cultural memories for communities. This research attempts to put forward how music, as a part of our daily lives, is a part of the social arrangements that structure the operations of memory. In the context of modern diaspora, this study looks at the

Abstract:

This thesis consists of a portfolio of nine musical compositions with accompanying recordings and commentary. The works included range from solo chamber music to large ensemble and explore the notions of mimesis, memory, and borrowed materials in musical composition. The commentary begins by providing a framework and historical context to the portfolio and in particular explores mimesis as an æsthetic device across the centuries and art forms. Music for amateurs and multiple tempi are then presented as two sub facets within the main research before a detailed exploration of the various source

Abstract:

This commentary accompanies a portfolio of nine compositions written between October 2006 and June 2009. This commentary traces the development of a range of compositional ideas throughout the portfolio. These revolve around the creation of multilayered textures where all the material and all subtle variations thereof are audible, leading to an investigation of rhythmical block durations and the role of memory. The context in which these ideas arose is provided through discussion of specific existing work that closely relates to the portfolio, in particular by John Cage, Morton Feldman, György
