Background Music, Urban Soundscapes, and Small Listening This article examines the experiences of background music in urban spaces from the perspective of aural diversity. We study the experiences of individuals whose temporal or permanent auditory capacities, sensory experiences, or interpretations of soundscapes differ from prevailing socio-cultu...
In this article, I address the field of somaesthetics from the perspective of a researcher and pedagogue. I propose ways to apply the analytic, pragmatic, and practical dimensions of somaesthetics in the academic context. I also consider what defines a somaesthetic inquiry, how we could construct our research designs and evaluate our methods, and w...
Volume 9 (2023) takes the form of a double issue. Its first part is titled: “Somaesthetic Self-Care and the Politics of Taste and Transformation.” The thematic focus of the second issue is “Methodologies for Exploring Embodiment and Aesthetics.”

Journal of Somaesthetics 2019 (5)2, 4-7. The intertwining of sound and the body is fascinating and multifarious. Until fairly recently, sound has mainly been studied in terms of listening, sound reproduction technologies, and acoustical measurements. In turn, the body, especially that of someone producing sound with their voice or with an instrumen...
Journal of Somaesthetics 2019, 5(2), 8-23. During the last ten years, somaesthetics has been increasingly applied in studies of music, sound, and the voice. In this overview, I will map out the most interesting articles and books in this field after briefly introducing somaesthetics and considering how its various dimensions could be utilized in is...
In this issue of the Journal of Somaesthetics, we invite contributions from various fields exploring sound as manifesting itself in the body, as originating from the body, or as a meaningful, embodied experience. The focus is on the body-aesthetic, or somaesthetic dimensions of sound. Aesthetic experience here is not limited to the arts alone. DEAD...
One of our basic needs as human beings is to be connected with each other. We want to be heard and understood. Our bodies are capable of producing a great variety of different vocal sounds for our communication. However, we have countless unspoken norms in our culture about who can use their voices, in what kind of situations, and in what ways. The...
This article explores somaesthetic vocal experience and suggests some starting points for the study of vocal somaesthetics. This area of study will approach the bodily and experiential aspects of vocalizing and listening to vocal sounds. In the previous research of human vocality the focus has usually been on the voice as heard or measured as an ac...
Keho ja sen aistimukset ovat olennainen osa äänentuoton ja kuuntelemisen ko-kemusta. Keho toimii kokemuksen pohjana tai taustana, josta emme ole yleensä edes tietoisia. Kehomme impulssit, affektit, liikkeet, asennot ja asenteet kuuluvat äänessämme. Kuulemme toisen ihmisen äänessä hänen kehonsa ja ymmärrämme kuulemamme oman kehomme kokemusta vasten....
Kehotietoisuus ja laulajan ilmaisu Tarkastelen tässä artikkelissa kehotietoisuutta ja laulajan ilmaisua. Ajatukseni on, että kehotietoisuutta hyödyntämällä voidaan tulla tietoiseksi laulamiseen liittyvistä hienovaraisista nyansseista, jotka ovat olennainen osa ilmaisua. Huomion vieminen kehon kokemukseen voi tällä tavoin hyödyttää niin laulajaa, la...
The subject of my study is the relationship between human voice, body and environment. Environment is understood here not only as the physical surroundings but also as an (internalized) affective reality. The starting point is the notion that we don’t only live in different kinds of environments, but we are also affected by them. Other people’s voi...
