But why do we experience music in that way? Why do musical grammars emerge with the phenomenal quality of tension? I have recently advanced a semantic account of musical tension, arguing that tension patterns in music rely on mental schemas related to interacting forces (as initially discussed by linguist Leonard Talmy).

Romantic Ballet: Features, Conventions and Narratives Dr. Astrid Bernkopf
Programme Leader Dance Studies, Admissions Tutor for Dance, Department of Performing Arts, Middlesex University, Trent Park Campus, London. Areas of Interest: dance analysis, libretto analysis, narrative analysis, performing arts, history, philosophy of history, critical theory. Abstract: Romantic ballet, its features and conventions represent the transition between 18th century dance tradition and the 20th century. Here, the most significant works of ballet tradition have been created, whilst new technical aspects such as point work were incorporated into the storylines that have since become classics. This lecture traces the historical development of the aesthetics of this particular style in relation to the narrative and its re-interpretation in the 20th century. It will outline the changes of performance tradition that have established Romantic ballet and present the various elements of these performances. Moreover, the narrative side of these features will be addressed and reference to 20th century postmodern revisions of these performances is made.

Musicianship, Musical Interpretation, and Cultural Identity: Challenges for Philosophy and the Social Sciences David G. Hebert, PhD Professor of Music, Grieg Academy Presentation via Skype. Abstract: The notion of musicianship – or artistry in the field of music – is a phenomenon that raises an array of philosophical questions intricately tied to problems of interpretation, particularly when music is considered cross-culturally as a profoundly meaningful global practice. In this talk, I will explore the implications of how cultural differences affect our understandings of various forms of music, as well as how relationships between musical practices and cultural identities are rapidly transforming as a consequence of both globalization and the popularization of new media technologies. I will also explore the implications of recent empirical research in relation to these themes and attempt to distill a reasonable projection of possible paths that musicianship and music research may take in the future.

Abstract: Music and IT are now irrevocably linked. This has implications for both music-related research and education. This talk reflects on the nature of the evolving relationship between music and IT. The speaker, who has recently retired from an academic career in computer science and information sciences, will share insights gained from lessons learned during several decades of conducting music informatics and computer science research. He will draw conclusions on the inter- and multi-disciplinary nature of music/IT-related studies, research challenges and the difficulty of defining a core syllabus.

SEMINAR: SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 2:15-4 p.m. ROOM U73 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN DENMARK CAMPUSVEJ 55, 5230 ODENSE Norms of the Performance Context Søren R. Frimodt-Møller, PhD Abstract: When we engage with music, how we respond to a given piece of music (or a given performance within a genre) reflects which parts of the music have our attention in the situation. This attention is shaped by the context of the performance or listening situation. For the performer, the context of the performance, e.g. the context defined by the composition, the genre conventions, the musician's expectations regarding the preferences of the audience etc., constitutes norms that she takes into consideration when shaping her performance - norms meaning, broadly, what e.g. defines what is ”permitted”, ”an obligation” or ”less acceptable” in the situation. For a listener, the conventions of the genre or tradition a performance appears within also shapes the default reception of the music, but in addition, factors related to the immediate environment of the music experience also shapes the listener's total music experience. Utilizing examples from progressive rock, metal and pop, the talk will present a view of how normativity is shaped in the composer-performer-listener circuit, and how different traits of a piece of music are ”made normative” in a particular context (to use the vocabulary of music philosophers Jerrold Levinson and Stephen Davies).

SEMINAR: SEPTEMBER 22, 2011 2:15-4 p.m. ROOM U73 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN DENMARK CAMPUSVEJ 55, 5230 ODENSE Immanuel Kant and Eighteenth-Century Musical Thought Tomas McAuley PhD Candidate, Department of Music, King's College London (via Skype) Abstract: Immanuel Kant’s views on music are generally taken to be of little interest. This is due to two presumptions: (i) that Kant straightforwardly dismissed music as (in his own words) ‘more pleasure than culture’; and (ii) that he did so either out of blind prejudice or out of unthinking adherence to the standards of his age. In this presentation, I question both of these assumptions. I begin by showing how, although Kant did indeed have a low opinion of music, his dismissal is not nearly as straightforward as it may initially seem. I then argue that the reason behind Kant’s negative assessment of music is the philosophical context of his philosophy as a whole. I conclude by suggesting that Kant is a prime example of the way in which changes in musical thought in the late eighteenth century were, to a large extent, driven by changes in philosophy with little or no direct concern with music. In order to make the presentation accessible to non-specialists, I include brief introductions to eighteenth-century musical thought and to Kant’s philosophy. Poster available here.

SEMINAR: SEPTEMBER 15, 2011 2:15-4 p.m. ROOM U73 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN DENMARK CAMPUSVEJ 55, 5230 ODENSE Markerless Motion Capture Until recently 360 degree markerless motion capture was only a pipe dream. Capturing gesture from an actor required precise location of markers and hours of enduring monotonous calibration and testing before the technical team could finally map the sourced data to content such as digital media such as audio, visuals, and/or an animated character for real-time interactions. The BIG NEWS is that New York based industry-leader Organic Motion (OM) has developed its state of the art platform even further to include advanced MoCap with multiple actor tracking, increased accuracy, no backdrop, and more in-demand capabilities. A mobile system is also under development! Such systems are used by leading companies looking to advance their field by exploring cutting edge applications in industry - for example in contemporary films, health sciences education/research, and rehabilitation. Such explorations are often via Artificial Virtual Environments (AVEs), virtual/augmented/mixed reality sims, games, and/or other created computer-based system concepts. Musicians, thespians, and dancers are amongst those who are exploring the creative potentials of gesture capture mapped to sonic, visual or other content as an element of contemporary performance. Alex Czarowicz, Vice President of Sales for Organic Motion, will visit from New York to give a limited series of presentations on the OM state of the art in MoCap and animation. See videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/OrganicMotion. This international arrangement is sponsored by Medialogy, Aalborg University (Esbjerg – www.medialogy.eu); NNIMIPA: Nordic Network for the Integration of Music Informatics, Performance and Aesthetics – www.nnimipa.org – a NordForsk network; and SDU it-studier: Network for it-students – www.sdu.dk/it-studier.

Tango quintet RABO DEL GATO plays a program of Astor Piazzolla's tango compositions. Concert poster availablehere. The concert will be filmed for television broadcast and is followed by a seminar in the series Topics in the Aesthetics of Music and Sound entitled: Lyric and Meaning in Tango’s Poetry Claudio Cifuentes-Aldunate writes: More than just a dance, tango is a cultural phenomenon of great complexity, as it comprehends poetry, music and dance all in one. Of the three manifestations of tango, its poetry is of special interest. The present talk will focus on the significance of poetry in tango. Special attention will be given to some of the particular “semas” that concentrate around the isotopy of melancholy. The result of this combination (dance, music and poetry) constructs the paradox which rests in “dancing the sadness” of life. Key words: Dance, rhythm, poetry, classic and modern tango, aspects of the evolution of tango. All are welcome! (Although the seminars in the series Topics in the Aesthetics of Music and Sound customarily are held in English, today's seminar will be held in Danish.)
