Can music be subject to representation while listening?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Daniele,
Aristotle like plato considered all arts as forms as mimesis or imitation/perfection of Nature. In your post you accept painting as mimetic, as making representations of what exist out there in Nature but deny this mimetic character for music. Music is done by other animals, birds, sea mammals, insects, etc. Sea mamals seems to use it in particar for the synchronisation of the swimming movements by member of a pod. Parrots naturally dance to rythmic music made by humans. We dance on music so music is intimatly related to how our motor system makes our body.move. My hypothesis is that the first earth moving creatures, maybe even their ancestors moving in the sea had for survival values develop the capacity to discriminate the sound made by body movement from all other less relevant for survival sounds and use this information for locating the approaching body movent. Then such primitive animals had to use their own motor system in order to discriminate and recognize the body movement generating such part of the sound. So music correspond to the aspect of sound normally generated by body movement and dancing on music or synchronising body movement on music become a natural side effect of the motor system analysis of sound, i.e. music. If music is this then music like all the visual arts become another form of mimesis, here mimesis of body movement and it is why dance is related to music and why music is so important for film viewing since it super-impose body movement information onto the visual information.

Dear Stanley Wilkin , what would you say to the suggestion that at the end of the day religions are as much as worldviews as the different sciences, in that they offer both explanations (maybe circular ones, with specific rules about what counts as evidence) and rules to live in harmony together? And for the latter, the prescriptive rules to live together, they may do this better than the sciences? Just a thought.

I have been thinking about the problem of writing and analysing harmony for music using music notation software. The usual process involves writing the notes and playing it back for listening or relying on music theory knowledge to analyse the harmony. This can make the process of harmonisation quite complicated.
I thought about a possible solution to this: colour-coding the notes/chords across the staff so that the arranger/composer can see, at a glance, the harmonic landscape of the music and the effect of their changes to the music instantaneously.
Is this a viable solution to this problem?

Dear colleagues, I have been researching sheet music collections in Brazil. Here, we face challenges ranging from basic aspects of document conservation and collection mapping to the production of catalogs. I would like to know a more general overview, especially outside Western European countries. I appreciate your collaboration!
Relevant answer
Answer
The conservation of cultural heritage here in Germany is strongly decentralized and therefore the quality may vary, although since Germany is in a moderate climate zone, demands are probably a lot lower than in a tropical country like brazil.
In most places here the conservation itself works decently, but since many catalogues of the smaller archives are still not fully digitalized, we have new discoveries every once in a while.
The decently working conservation has its terribly spectacular exceptions, though. Two of the worst examples were the fire of the Anna-Amalia library, due to improper electric wiring, causing among other things the loss of some Joseph Haydn originals or the collapse of the Cologne city archive, due to a corrupt subway construction site in which a lot of the steel that was supposed to go into the concrete was sold on the black market, causing the loss of the Jacques Offenbach heritage.

Is music a complex science?
Relevant answer
Answer
Music, like many aspects of our world, intertwines both art and science. In my exploration of philosophy and the nature of existence, I recognize that music embodies harmony and mathematical proportions, connecting it profoundly to the sciences, particularly mathematics.
The principles of music — rhythm, melody, and harmony — can be analyzed analytically, revealing connections to the natural world and to the intellect. Just as the sages of the Hebrew tradition sought to understand the divine through reasoned thought, so too can one approach music with scientific inquiry.
However, music also transcends pure rationality, engaging the soul and evoking deep emotions. This duality makes it a complex discipline, rich with both scientific principles and artistic expression. It serves as a bridge between the intellect and the spirit, uniting both in the quest for understanding and beauty.
Ultimately, one must appreciate that while music can be studied scientifically, its essence often lies beyond the realm of mere logic, revealing truths about the human experience Alwielland Q. Bello that are deeply felt.

Question

The fact that mathematicians and physicists failed to investigate string vibration physics means the field is wide open for original research and new discoveries.
For instance, you won't find the Euler characteristic (or even the manifold) in the literature. The catenoid minimum surface of revolution is known but very obscure.
I am investigating homotopy and cohomology on musical instruments and their free language. I want to characterize the manifold of a musical instrument by the Euler characteristic, Betti number, Lefschetz number and genus.
I think I can get as far as deriving the Euler characteristic for one string under the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. I think it proves the string is Hamiltonian, but I can't formalize that. If the string is a Gauss-Bonnet standing wave then it must be Hamiltonian.
First, four statements I think are true:
1) Genus g is 0 because any cut disconnects the space.
2) The manifold is oriental because the normal vector of the sub manifold is oriental.
3) The manifold is Riemann because the string line is the fundamental form, so every point has coordinates on the real line.
4) Musical instruments and the string contract upon a point.
Under the formula for the Euler characteristic C = V - E + F (vertices minus edges plus faces) we can count two singular points, one edge, and one face. C = 2.
Under the formula C = 2 -2g for a closed surface, we have C = 2.
According to the Gauss-Bonnet theorem the geodesic curvature and the Guassian curvature of the string can be integrated to give a number which is 2 pi times the Euler characteristic.
We know that Gaussian curvature is 4 pi because it is the Gaussian product of the longitudinal curve (a cycloid) and the curve in transverse section, a circle. So we can say the singular endpoints are located at -pi and pi ( =2 pi) and the circle is 2 pi, too. So the product of the circle and the cycloidal curve is 4 pi. Then it must be true that the Euler characteristic is indeed 2.
Then there is the Euler characteristic of a finite CW complex which applies to music.
This generalizes the Euler characteristic for 2-dimensional complexes. It makes C into an alternating sum. The dimensionality of the string is 2n so the Euler characteristic is always 1. That result seems inconsistent. I am hoping it is wrong! Can you help?
So I have the idea that this by itself proves the string is Hamiltonian. It seems like the Euler characteristic captures the totality of the string.
I also think if the Euler characteristic of the string is 2, then musical instruments also have Euler characteristic 2, also. But can't formalize that.
I know the guitar is a polyhedron defined by simplicial complexes which have a common vertex. This defines a polyhedron so C = 2.
Is there a theorem about Euler characteristics in union and intersection, like the union of manifolds requires the same Euler characteristics?.
It seems to me that if you know about Euler characteristics and Betti numbers you could say something profound about string physics.
Relevant answer
Answer
The Euler characteristic of guitar is 2 because the 6 open string notes are vertices, the 5 intervals between the notes are edges, and the union of strings makes one surface. This shows the guitar is a geometric invariant.
I think that tablature (which is definitely in CW) has Euler characteristic 6 vertices, 5 edges, and two faces.
There are two faces because the music has a standard notation in pitch values (like a musical score) and then the canonic notation in guitar coordinates).
Note that the tablature is defined locally on guitar but the score is global.

Relevant answer
Answer
Do you mean cultural appropriation? Lots of 1950s rock and roll, but you already mention that so I assume you know those. There's a long history of rock bands taking licks or songs from blues musicians as well (e.g. Led Zeppelin, ). But it's not black and white (pardon the pun)... a lot of black American music also took influences from white pop and country and western music. See Garry Tamlyn's PhD thesis on the backbeat for example, which discusses the influences of the back beat. https://www.tagg.org/xpdfs/TamlynPhD1.pdf Also look up the Scotch Snap in hip-hop for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7cG9QIvIWo I would argue it's not appropriate to call it "appropriation", when there is this constant sharing and influence back and forth between so many cultures. Musicians/composers all take parts from things they've picked up, and their influences are often so varied, it's impossible to pinpoint where each element comes from. e.g. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/obviously-stolen-riffs.1030096/page-4.

Exploring the Link Between Yoruba Culture and Oral Health: Join the Conversation
Oral health is vital to overall well-being, yet oral diseases remain a major concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria. Despite historically low rates, Nigeria now faces rising cases of untreated dental caries, periodontal diseases, and tooth loss. This calls for a deeper look at cultural factors that may be influencing these trends.
Why Culture Matters
Poor oral hygiene is a known cause of oral diseases, but how do cultural practices, like traditions, rituals, and music, shape oral health behaviors in Nigeria? Specifically, how do the cultural nuances within the Yoruba community influence oral hygiene and dental care? These questions remain largely unexplored.
Yoruba Music and Mythologies: The Missing Link
Yoruba music and mythologies, rich in storytelling and cultural values, may hold the key to understanding oral health behaviors. Could traditional songs and folklore be shaping attitudes toward dental care? Could these insights help develop culturally sensitive health interventions?
Join the Discussion
We want to hear from you:
• How do you think cultural elements like music and mythologies influence health behaviors in your community?
• Could these traditions improve how we approach oral health in Nigeria?
• What role does culture play in shaping health outcomes, and how can we integrate it into public health?

If a string vibrates at 256 cycles per seconds then counting 256 cycles is the measure of 1 second. The number is real because it measures time and the number is arbitrary because it does not have to be 1 second that is used.
This establishes that the pitch is a point with the real number topology, right?
Relevant answer
Answer
Since I wrote this question I realized that frequency is not a velocity but a potential energy, which like 25 mph, is also defined on a time interval.
The string frequency is not a real valued function, it is a scalar output by a functional. The functional takes the equation of motion as input and outputs a number. The number is an extremal given by the calculus of variations. When the string is plucked, it quickly zeros in on the frequency with the lowest energy as a solution to the calculus of variations.
This is important in music theory because we want the frequencies on musical instruments to be algebraic numbers, not sine wave. That is, frequecy is real but constant and cannot change as long as the instrument is in tune.
This explains how the frequency is constant right up to the moment it stops. Velocity cannot go to zero at a point.
The frets on guitar are functionals that take the string tuning function as input and output the frequency.

While pain often feels unbearable, the blues offers solace in embracing these struggles and allowing them to shape something beautiful. By channeling their anguish into music, blues musicians pour their emotions into melodies and heartfelt lyrics. In doing so, they not only release their own pain but also resonate with audiences who find solace in relating to the experiences shared. B.B.

Here is an excerpt from my bachelor's thesis that might provide insight to your question:
4.The Emotional Factor: Melody in Emotion
The papers and experiments I studied and analyzed in this field led me to discover studies and experiments relating to pitch recognition and emotion. These studies indicate individuals with a keen interest in music, particularly in aspects such as pitch & accuracy may possess a heightened ability to recognize and interpret the emotions of others. Which is quite understandable, since as we have observed in chapter 2.2, pitch (in speaking) is an indicator of emotion, among other things. This suggests, an individual with an intense interest in pitch (in music) is more sensitive to changes in pitch of a given speaker.
The findings in this paper from Dmitrieva et al (2006) state:
“Children with apparent musical abilities demonstrated more skill in vocal emotion recognition when compared to non-musicians of the same age”
(Gerry et al., 2012). Fuller et al. (2014) claim that these capabilities acquired through musical experience and training in younger years are evident even later in life amongst adults, where the (adult) musicians seem to demonstrate better vocal emotion recognition than non-musician adults.
Fuller et al. (2014), Lima and Castro (2011) state that musicians are better at recognizing emotions in speech than non-musicians.
Thompson et al. (2004) and Good et al. (2017) supported their claims using work with different groups of children. Their findings showed that children with musical training in piano (not voice) were able to recognize vocal emotion more precisely than children without musical schooling.
Furthermore Good et al. (2017) state through their findings, that children with cochlear implants display enhanced vocal emotional recognition after musical training in piano, compared to a group which received training in painting.
These studies point out that it is not explicitly necessary for children to receive lessons in singing in order to acquire this capability, and that the training and discipline of a musical instrument alone results in more awareness of pitch, perception and lastly emotional recognition.

After reviewing research conducted by Vera Busse, Robert J. Zatorre and others, it has come to my attention that we may have "reinvented the wheel" when analyzing methods for teaching language. Some of the oldest forms of language were not written, but songs, fables, and spoken word pieces over meter. Most scholars would concur that music education is valuable due to its ability to enhance brain development. They would not argue the fact that most brain development occurs between ages 0-5. Yet, early childhood education (ECE) curriculums emphasize early literacy instead of placing value in music education. Based on your research or experience, do you believe children could achieve greater cognitive functioning if ECE curricula utilized singing and music education to foster learning with less emphasis on literacy? And why?
Relevant answer
Answer
The evidence reviewed by the Cambridge Primary Review (Alexander et al 2009) suggests that formal education (the three Rs) should not begin before age 6. However, children under five enjoy music, song, and dance. If they enjoy it, it must be meeting a need. So I think it should be part of early years activity, but not of formal teaching. Just do it for fun.

Music, as an art, blends the geometrical figures of Music Science and Music Industry. Within the boundaries of Art, drawing by only one segment of music science leads to the distortion of the figure of creativity because creativity is eternal and tries to represent the unity of the universe based on the fundamental physical laws. Complex sound vibrations yield the symbols incised on the dual track of our creative spirit. They always have a different quality character and synthesis. Therefore, Music Geometry is considered here only as one of the music facets.
A discipline cannot be considered as pure science because, despite it being a target of scientific investigation, it is located in the area containing the objects of creation. Music, as a discipline, comprises Music Science, Art, and Industry. Interrelations of these three components of music can be described by the Music Triangle in which the top angle corresponds to the science wings, which are divided into sections observing music from the point of view of physics, mathematics, acoustics, bionics, physiology, cybernetics, informatics, psychology, pedagogy, sonotechnics, music aesthetics, history, archaeology, ethnosociology, comparative analysis, theory, and musical semiology.

I am curious to explore various expert opinions on whether music exists as an intrinsic entity independent of our perception, or if it is a construct that becomes 'music' only through the process of human auditory perception. This discussion seeks to uncover the essence of music, considering the roles of physical sound properties and the psychological interpretation by the listener. I invite insights from various disciplines including philosophy, neuroscience, physics, and cultural studies to delve into this intricate query.
Relevant answer
Answer
As per the results of our papers , , neural network simulations suggest that the phenomena of consonance and dissonance, along with the foundational aspects of musical scales, are rooted in the physical properties of sound intertwined with the physiological and neurological characteristics of auditory perception. These properties of auditory perception play a crucial role in the emergence of consonance and dissonance patterns within synaptic weights, driven by the familiarity and influenced by the listener's perception and experience. Moreover, the evolution of musical instrument technology, along with other factors more familiar to experts in musicology, has prompted musicians to refine these fundamental perceptual patterns of musical scales into the practical and historical- and scales in use today.

What is the relationship between human loneliness and music? What is the characteristic of music that is closer to my solitude than other artistic forms? Does it have anything with its abstractness and lack of direct meaning? Why don't I like to extend the music of my solitude to my social life or am I not thrilled to hear them in public?
Relevant answer
Answer
The relationship between human loneliness and music is complex and multifaceted. Music can have a significant impact on emotions and social well-being, and it often plays a role in alleviating feelings of loneliness. Here are some ways in which music can be related to human loneliness:
  1. Emotional Expression: Music provides a means for individuals to express and process their emotions, including feelings of loneliness. Lyrics, melodies, and harmonies can resonate with a person's emotional state, offering a form of validation and understanding.
  2. Companionship: Listening to music can provide a sense of companionship, especially for those who may be physically isolated. It can create a feeling of connection with the artist or with others who share similar musical tastes and experiences.
  3. Distraction and Comfort: Music can serve as a distraction from feelings of loneliness and provide comfort. Engaging with music can shift focus away from negative emotions, offering a temporary reprieve.
  4. Empathy and Understanding: When lyrics in a song address theme of loneliness or isolation, listeners may feel a sense of empathy and connection with the artist. It can be comforting to know that others have experienced similar feelings.
  5. Creating Social Bonds: Participating in musical activities, such as singing in a choir or playing in a band, can foster social connections and a sense of belonging. This can be particularly important for individuals seeking to combat loneliness.
  6. Self-Reflection and Contemplation: Music can encourage introspection and self-reflection, allowing individuals to better understand and come to terms with their own feelings of loneliness.
  7. Mood Regulation: Music has the ability to influence mood. Listening to uplifting or soothing music can help improve one's emotional state and alleviate feelings of loneliness.
  8. Artistic Expression: For some, creating music through songwriting, playing instruments, or singing can be a powerful form of self-expression. This creative outlet can help individuals process their emotions, including loneliness.
  9. Virtual Communities: Online platforms and social media have enabled music enthusiasts to connect with like-minded individuals across the globe. This can help combat feelings of isolation by providing a sense of community centered around shared musical interests.
It's important to note that while music can be a powerful tool in addressing loneliness, it is not a substitute for human interaction and support. It can complement social connections and be a valuable coping mechanism, but it's essential for individuals experiencing significant loneliness to seek meaningful human connections as well.
Overall, the relationship between human loneliness and music is deeply personal and can vary widely from individual to individual, depending on their musical preferences, experiences, and the role music plays in their lives.

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for some exciting analysis methods for correlation, coherence, causality, etc. that can be used for physiological signals (time series, particularly RR time series) obtained from two subjects.
The case study that I consider is: is there any connection between the RR time interval series between a player on the instrument and the listener?
One of the methods that I want to use is the time-frequency coherence analysis by Orini et al. where I will take to input two RR time interval series (from the player and the listener).
What else can I use for this type of data? Do you have any recommendations?
I'm also interested in creating a connection network between players and listeners using the RR time interval series obtained from participants during a music session. However, I don't know what measure for such a graph will be good. It will be nice to create a network like in the Ivanov et al. methodology https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms1705, not within a body but between the participants. What do you think?
Thank you for every suggestion.

I think you did forget something important, Sabine. Well, “forget” is not the right word since the “something important” is a concept of time that’s alien to the society and scientific community we live in. You talk about valuable things like peer-review and consulting science journals and the latest studies or data. Such things are indeed valuable and if we accept that time is ALWAYS a linear progression from past to present to future, they’re the only ways to proceed. But time is curvilinear (Albert told us that not only space, but also time, is curved). In curvilinear time, all periods can interact and the science of the future can be accessible in the present. It can even be accessed in the past, which is what Albert may have done (repeatedly throughout his life, he said he was no genius and that his talent was “passionate curiosity”). Maybe curiosity about the future caused Relativity to develop in Albert’s brain.
As well, I’ve heard that Paul McCartney was puzzled about “Yesterday” after he wrote it. He was sure he must have heard it somewhere before and the song was really written by someone else. Maybe his future self unconsciously interacted with the 1960s Paul, giving himself the lyrics and tune. Without getting all nerdy and boring your fans with theoretical scientific details, how can I explain coexistence of the entire future and past with the present in a few lines? The concepts of cause and effect are no longer separate when all periods of time are united, and everything can happen “at once”. This is similar to watching a DVD – every event on the DVD exists at once since the whole DVD exists but we’re only aware of sights and sounds occurring in each tiny fraction of a second.) Wait on – you’ve already broached this with your video asking if the past still exists.

Dear Raphael,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the nature of space and time. Your ideas about Extension and Change as the foundations of space and time are very interesting!
Well let me address the topics you brought up:
1. Double Slit Experiment: This experiment questions our usual understanding of cause and effect. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that events can be influenced by future actions. We can explain the results using the standard rules of quantum mechanics without needing to think about effects going backward in time.
2. Quantum Entanglement: This is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics. Even though it might seem strange, it doesn't mean that information is traveling back in time. The connections we see between entangled particles can be explained without this idea.
3. Wheeler and Feynman's Ideas: The thought of particles moving backward in time is interesting, but it's more of a mathematical idea than a real description of how the world works.
4. Einstein's Relativity: Relativity does suggest the possibility of things like wormholes. However, we haven't observed these, and even if they do exist, we don't know what they would mean for our understanding of time.
5. Delayed Choice Experiments: These experiments make us question our usual ideas about cause and effect. But, like the double slit experiment, they can be explained using quantum mechanics without needing to think about retrocausality.
Your idea that Extension and Change are the real basis of space and time is thought-provoking. If we think of space and time as coming from the interactions of physical things, it gives us a new way to think about topics like the curvature of space or the possibility of retrocausality. But, we also see real effects from space and time, like how gravity bends light or how time seems to slow down for fast-moving objects. This suggests that space and time are more than just ideas; they have their own reality.
So, while our theories give us a lot of insight into the universe, they also have their limits. We should always be ready to question and update them based on new evidence and ideas.
Warm regards,
Alessandro

A major potential limitation of a quantitative study (including the use of a quantitative study as the primary method in a sequential explanatory model) is the need for a large enough N to produce significant results. You can use the G*power program online to determine how large a sample you would need to have enough power to detect an effect.
In addition, you would need a clear set of measures for both your independent and dependent variables. For example, you would need to be able to measure "impact on mood."

HUMOR IN MUSIC AND THE PERFORMING ARTS
Humor in classical music has a long tradition as shown by such playful vocabulary items as the French gavotte, which like the Irish and English gigue or jig is music for a fast-moving dance. A scherzo is a musical joke while a cappricio is a composition that is irregular in form and usually lively and whimsical. A divertimento is a light and entertaining instrumental composition. And a rondo is a composition whose principal theme is repeated three or more times in the same key, interspersed with subordinate themes.

If a new piece of music is created, but created by an artificial intelligence, how is the question of creativity to be assessed and how will copyright work, what part of the resulting artistic work will be regarded as a manifestation of the creativity of a technologically advanced tool such as certain artificial intelligence solutions, and what part will be regarded as the creativity of a human being who operates, questions, teaches etc. the artificial intelligence so that it performs in a certain way tasks which until recently were regarded as possible only by humans?
In the context of the development and successive but also relatively fast emerging new applications of artificial intelligence technology, reflections on the essence of creativity, which until recently was considered an exclusively human trait, are emerging. However, rapidly emerging new applications of increasingly refined artificial intelligence, which can be taught to process increasingly creative and much more efficient multi-criteria processing of ever larger data sets, is becoming the basis for consideration of creative task solving by specific artificial intelligence solutions, including generative language models, i.e. ChatGPT 4.0. Among the many different fields in which humans develop their capacity for creativity is the arts. Within the framework of artistic activity, humans have been developing several key artistic fields such as painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, theatre, music and singing since ancient times. On the other hand, modern artistic fields such as photography and film are also developing, thanks to the technological revolutions that have taken place over the past two centuries. In recent years, a large proportion of the artworks collected in art galleries, libraries etc. have been digitised and have their digital counterparts, which are made available on the Internet. During the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020, the processes of digitisation of various types of artistic works and other products of human activity and creativity accelerated significantly. New ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0 have become of great help in the processes of digital processing, analysis and use of increasingly large amounts of data, including artistic works. Artificial intelligence technologies currently under development, after the application of specific learning processes, i.e. the application of machine learning and/or deep learning technologies, are capable of combining different types of data, including on different types of digitised media and digitised artistic works, to create something new, which can be considered a kind of new form of creativity. Sometimes, the effects of this kind of creativity realised by artificial intelligence are such a new field of application of this technology that the relevant legal regulations, including but not limited to copyright, have not yet been established. Well, if with the help of artificial intelligence it is possible to create pictures of an event that did not happen, i.e. as if one were to photograph a media-famous person in a situation and place where he or she has never really been, one can create a film with a cast of people who are no longer alive or who did not really exist at all, etc., then where does the creativity of those using artificial intelligence end? where does the creativity of people using artificial intelligence as a tool to achieve a specific goal end and where does the creativity of this technology begin, which, understanding the commands of humans, more and more precisely creates a kind of innovative solutions, more and more efficiently performs specific tasks and more and more creatively creates a kind of artistic works that are difficult to distinguish from their analytical works created traditionally, i.e. without the use of advanced information technology by humans. One particularly interesting thing that has already happened is the creation, with the help of artificial intelligence, of a new musical work of a song, in which the voice of a certain real existing singer is used, combined with new music and new song lyrics, and in this way a recording of a song sung by a singer who in reality never wrote the music and never sang the song is created. And if a song created in this way finds its way to the top of the charts, how will the question of honouring copyright be resolved, who is and to what extent the creator of such a work, to whom should the key part of the creativity in such a creation of a musical work be attributed? But of course, this is only an example, as similar, as yet unregulated complex processes for the creation of artistic works with the involvement of artificial intelligence in this process can and probably will be applied in other fields of art as well. In addition, the question of the creativity of artificial intelligence in the context of human creativity, in which also thought processes, consciousness, emotions, etc. are involved, also remains to be resolved.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
If a new piece of music is created, but created by an artificial intelligence, how is the question of creativity to be assessed and how will copyright work, what part of the resulting artistic work will be considered as a manifestation of the creativity of a technologically advanced tool such as certain artificial intelligence solutions, and what part will be considered as the creativity of a human being who operates, questions, teaches, etc. the artificial intelligence so that it performs in a certain way tasks that until recently were considered to be possible only by a human being?

Based on my own work (for example: ), I would suggest that, unless and until AI gains sentience, that its outputs are always at the prompt of some human intervention. In this sense, AI is rendered as simply one tool in a possibly artistic process. As is the camera, a pot of paint, a lump of clay. This does not and should not detract from AI's enormous capability as a tool that, in many respects, overshadows any other potential tool used artistically. It can certainly, as we witness, foreshorten the artistic process.
The difficulty with art is--as I believe it will remain for some time to come yet--the question of power. Whatever artistic process an individual human might engage in, prompt, or otherwise initiate, it is left to a power-politic dynamic to accord the output of that artistic process that status as art object. It takes an art-institution, an artworld or a society (or indeed a wealthy patron) to suggest any product of artistic work is an artwork. And it is only when reified to the level of artwork, imbued with some sense of intrinsic value, that the question of ownership is at issue.
In this sense, it is perfectly possible for a society to take the collective view that AI outputs are legitimate artworks and therefore of some intrinsic value, for which allocation of property rights (intellectual of other) becomes an issue. But should this not lead us to question our own identity and capabilities in the face of AI? Are we, as a society, ready to imbue AI with a sentience that it does not (yet?) possess? Simply because we stand fascinated by something some power-politic declares is artistic in nature? Are we really as insecure in our own identities as that?

How do you think? What is origin of our particular sensitivity to harmonious music?
The longer I live, in growing degree I am becoming positive (and still more optimistic) and believe in more natural origin of human attitudes toward beauty and goodness. Once I'd even suggested that also understandingand recognizing of music may be imprinted in ourgenes.
The understanding of music is not irrelevant to ethics. As well as to the culture as a whole, also. Symphonies' general pattern implemented ingenes? The genetic memory of this pattern we can hear in the symphony performed by crickets
(Have you ever heard the amazing cricketschirping slowed down?)
Isn't it comparable with humans best symphonies?Maybe we have to change our understanding ofmusic, beauty and goodness, as attributed only toculture of human beings?When we were much much smaller mammals, sosmall that our pace of life was equal with thecricket life, we could hear these symphonieswhole our lifes generation after generation, as if we were spending most of our lifes in philharmony. This was alike music of the heavenly spheres all the time around us. It could not end in other way. So,we may have imprinted  archetypes of symphony in our genetic memory, quite likely. We can enjoy these music again, when after dozens millions years we've managed to return to this hidden for our ears for dozens hundred thousand years music, as our best composers rediscovered it again for us during recent few centuries.
In a similar way not only notion of music, but also more general beauty or goodness, can be incorporated in the structure of our genes, as the creatures which possessed empathy and prefered more regular (than chaotic) patterns, simply were better prepared for survival. In such a way nature could create higher beings able to consider things beautiful and valuable, differentiating better from worse. However, isn't it so that the full expression of these natural features occurred when humans during evolution of their culture invented the names for good and evil, as well as for beauty and art?
Isn't it so that prehuman beings (and preculture beings we were at the beginning) could dimmly sense the difference? But only when the notions were invented and their designates were developed, humans created understanding of beauty and goodness. And is not it so than only while they fully developed these ideas, they entered reality as its part? I.e., did not humans created all the beauty and goodness of the world? As its beauty was hardly recognized as such before by any former beings?
Or did they recognized it but just could not express that recognision in other way than just by prefering beauty or good in images or behaviour of their partners and surrouding? In other words: May beauty or goodness be possible without beings understanding them as such?
Of course you may remain sceptical as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFFtqEyfu_o
Notice, however, wrong assumption that difference of receiving sound depends on age (time of life) differences of species (and not linear dimensions of their hearing apparatus).

Your understanding of music goes back to the theory of mimesis. The problem of interpreting the phenomenon of music depends on where you draw the line between art and reality.
An important, but somewhat distracting, observation: if one were to find a genetic predisposition to music in some people and not in others, such a theory could become the basis of Nazism, racism, xenophobia in all its possible variations, and the corresponding potential for discrimination.

I'm searching about the origins of the Tar, an old musical instrument in the middle east. I would be grateful if you recommend me some English sources about the history of making and playing Tar in middle eastern countries, especially in Iran and Azerbaijan. Thank you.
Relevant answer
Answer
The tar is a musical instrument that originated in Iran and Caucasus region and is commonly use in persian-Azerbaijani classical music. It has a long history in the region, dating back to the medieval era, maybe to the ancient times. The word 'tar' means 'string' in farsi, and the instrument is so named bacause it has 6 strings that are plucked by the player. The instrument has been important part of Persian and Azeri music for centuries and is still widely used in today. It is also common in Turkey's Kars, Ardahan and Erzurum provinces.
Azerbaijanis claim that tar is their national instrument and do not accept its origin from Iran. On the other hand, according to some Armenian sources, Tar is the Armenian national musical instrument, Iran and Turks took tar from them.
One book that I can recommend on the issue is 'The Art of Persian Music' (Jean During, a French musicologist).
I would like to share another study but in Turkish in the following link: https://porteakademik.itu.edu.tr/docs/librariesprovider181/Yay%C4%B1n-Ar%C5%9Fivi/9.-say%C4%B1/porte_akademik-9-9.pdf İts abstract is below:
A Study on the Selection of the Clef in Tar Training: Tar is a folk instrument played widely in Azerbaijan and Iran, in some parts of the Near
East countries and especially in Kars, Iğdır and around in Turkey. It’s a generally accepted idea that where tar is mostly improved in playing and education is Azerbaijan. The most important reason for this general idea is that the principles for tar playing and teaching were determined in the beginning of the 20th century in Azerbaijan and improved on strong basis
through a period of time of approximately one hundred years. When talking about those essential principles, the key system used in writing tar notes can firstly be counted. Works, etudes and other materials which are composed for tar are written with the C-clef which is drawn on the second line of the staff and which is also called mezzo-soprano clef. Although
this key system which was determined in 1920’s by the great Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hacıbeyli is quite proper for tar and suffices needs, but over time, different ideas appeared and demands and attempts to change the system were made. This work was prepared with the aim to handle and study the existing key system used in tar education and different approaches to the subject comparatively.

I am in contact with many teenagers because of my job, which is teaching. And I have had interviews with them during this time, their interest in the music of their own country has decreased compared to the teenagers of the past. And this is definitely due to the country's musical weakness and not satisfying their tastes.
But I want to know what can be done to make them interested in the music of their country and what are my duties as a teacher or a master student of music?
Relevant answer
You are absolutely right. Dear Dr. Po'Lat Qahhorov, the interest in the music of one's own Country increases the "love" for one's own Country in adolescents.

Children’s songs tend to be lively and playful, but as we grow older we try to be more serious. It’s therefore important that we rekindle our childhood sense of fun, creativity, and play. Some songs have funny-sounding words, like “Aweemaway,” “Chim-Chim Cheree,” “Hinky Dinky Parlez Vous,” “Polly Wolly Doodle,” “Shipoopi,” or the “Oompa Loompa” song from The Wizard of Oz. Some of these funny words relate to real-world sounds. If you turn on the motor of a really old car, it might sound like “Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang,” “Pop Goes the Weasel,” or “Seventy-Six Trombones.” Examples of songs that are for exercise and require physical activity include “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands,” or “You put your left foot in; you put your left foot out; you put your left foot in and shake it all about” or “The Hokey Pokey,” The “Beer Barrel Polka,” and “My Hat / It Has / Three Corners.” There are also creative songs designed for learning languages, like “Alouette,” “Frère Jacques,” and “Sur le Pont D ’Avignon.” Some playful and creative songs demonstrate linguistic principles, like the assimilation of “Mairzy Doats,” or Gilbert and Sullivan’s patter “Major General Song.” A contrast of feminine rhyme with masculine rhyme can be seen in “Hennesy Tennesy Tootles the Flute” in “Me Name is McNamara; I’m the Leader of the Band.” Visual imagery is demonstrated in “Camptown Races,” and “Would you Like to Swing on a Star.” In Monty Python’s Spamalot there is a parody song entitled “The Song that Goes Like This.”

Lamentablemente las artes en su totalidad están pasando por un momento nostálgico, el arte moderno es sólo arte moderno no se puede comparar con las otros periodos del arte y en mi opinión con pocas excepciones la mayoría de los artistas no han encontrado el camino de este tiempo.

I want to build a song recommendation engine based on the difficulty of singing a song. I am unable to find any prior research or method of evaluation for a song. Help much appreciated.
Relevant answer
Answer
I checked with both the music educators and vocal teachers here at Berklee. There currently isn't a standard rubric for the difficulty level in performing a given song. You would have to develop one and it would be best to do so with a music educator who specializes in vocal pedagogy. The criteria you'd want to check include: is the melody primarily stepwise (easy to sing) or does it include leaps (more difficult)? Are the leaps between chord tones or between unstable scale degrees? Is the melody primarily diatonic or does it include chromatic notes? Is the rhythm of the melody primarily on the main beats of the meter or is it syncopated? Are the phrases symmetrical or not? There are other criteria, but this is a start. Good luck!

Music probably has little to do with their view of social justice issues in the world. I would ask them that and then compare with the music they listen to. I like opera, can't even understand the lyrics, but I know they all die in the end. Does that mean anything,

I need to discover how many people publicated articles, thesis or dissertations about a music celebrity to gather material in order to request them honoris causa doctorate at my institution.
Relevant answer
Answer
In lieu of the availability of such "one-stop shopping," I'd recommend you utilize a search engine. Type in the names of academicians, authors, print and journalists whose names you associate with the genre, in quotes, then, separated by the word "and"," followed by the name of music celebrity, also in quotes.
Do this repeatedly for as long as it takes to get a feel for whether you're on the right track, compiling a list in the process, utilize other resources to find contact information in order to verify and confirm, then you'll be well on your way.

What will be impact of technology in popularity of Western Music Notation for musicology and music composition? Since invention of phonograph transcribing songs and music for the purpose of preservation became useless because simply we can record it to avoid a song to be forgotten. Today development of technology provide a huge possibility of analyzing a piece of music. Most of young composers benefit from a great verity of sound processors and music software in their music compositions. Does it mean that western music notation is going to be less required in future of musicology and composition?
Relevant answer
Answer
Technology interacts with life, in so far musical notation evolves from one époque to the other one. The so-called western musical notation has changed abruptly in the XXth century, and certainly it will continue to develop, following the general tendency of evolution. What is important for me, and I guess perhaps for other composers, is to consider notation totally dependent from a music reality, and not separate both as the traditional Harmonic theory did. No matter the technological source, music should remain a human expression!

Hello,
I asked in a survey participants to rank in order of preference types of content they like to engage with e.g. music videos, live videos etc. And I want to analyse the preferences against three age groups (18-24, 25-34 and 25+). My two hypothesis are as follows:
Consumers within the 18 - 24 age brackets are most likely to use VR to engage with immersive music videos
Consumers within the 25 - 34 and 35+ age brackets are most likely to engage with live concerts
I'm really struggling to understand what test to use. I've done descriptive tests and a multiple response cross tabs which has given me the percentage of people that placed content as their first preference. It's been suggested to me to use ANOVA, but I'm not sure how that would work and when I've run it I don't understand how its benefited the results. Perhaps I am not running it correctly? I have the dependent variable as age and then I have the independent as the type of content I want to test, the results come back as having no significant difference between age groups. Even though I can see that preference is higher for music videos within 18 - 24 years old by looking at the percentages... please help!!!
