A Sweeter Music: Two Essays and a Colloquy on an Elgar Part‐Song

open access: yesMusic Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Edward Elgar's 1907 part‐song ‘There Is Sweet Music’ (Op. 53 No. 1) is at once a ‘minor’ piece and a highly significant one that richly rewards investigation. It is notable as an early instance of bitonality, being notated simultaneously in two keys – the male choir in G major and the female choir in A♭. Yet despite the apparent discordance of

Quality of life in older adults is enhanced by piano practice: Results from a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
In this randomized controlled trial, 156 older participants were assigned to either piano practice or music listening groups for 12 months. Quality of life was assessed at 0, 6, 12, 18, and ∼48 months. We showed that practicing piano positively impacted psychological, physical, and environmental quality of life, which was associated with bilateral ...

Musical dynamics classification with CNN and modulation spectra

open access: yes, 2020
To investigate variations in the timbre space with regards to musical dynamics, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were trained on modulation power spectra (MPS), melscaled and ERB-scaled spectrograms of single notes of sustained instruments played at two dynamics extremes (pp and ff ).

The neurobiology of altered states of consciousness induced by drumming and other rhythmic sound patterns

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Rhythmic auditory stimulation has been used across cultures to alter consciousness, yet its neural basis remains unclear. Our review suggests that rhythmic sounds induce absorption and relaxation. We propose that thalamo‐cortical entrainment to low‐frequency rhythms underlie these effects, paralleling mechanisms in psychedelic and psychotic states.
