Abstract [en]

Synchronization of movement to music is a behavioural capacity that separates humans from most other species. Whereas such movements have been studied using a wide range of methods, only few studies have investigated synchronisation to real music stimuli in a cross-culturally comparative setting. The present study employs beat tracking evaluation metrics and accent histograms to analyze the differences in the ways participants from two cultural groups synchronize their tapping with either familiar or unfamiliar music stimuli. Instead of choosing two apparently remote cultural groups, we selected two groups of musicians that share cultural backgrounds, but that differ regarding the music style they specialize in. The employed method to record tapping responses in audio format facilitates a fine-grained analysis of metrical accents that emerge from the responses. The identified differences between groups are related to the metrical structures inherent to the two musical styles, such as non-isochronicity of the beat, and differences between the groups document the influence of the deep enculturation of participants to their style of expertise. Besides these findings, our study sheds light on a conceptual weakness of a common beat tracking evaluation metric, when applied to human tapping instead of machine generated beat estimations.

Abstract [en]

This thesis collects a series of works that engage with Swedish folk music, dance, theory and practice. The studies provide insights into the articulation of rhythm and meter in a local style of the Swedish polska and the interactions between such elements in music and dance performances. The studies exemplify a novel combination of diverse methodologies, including music and dance performance data analysis, design methods, and artistic methods in support of practice-led investigations conducted in close collaboration with the involved dancers. A preliminary concept for accessible sonification of motion captured folk dance is presented, focusing on contextually informed selections of movement parameters. This mediation of movement data through sonification plays a central role in exploring music theory concepts by applying them in artistic practice. The results illustrate the multidimensional character of sound and movement interactions within the local polska type. In addition, artistic works are presented that transcend the participatory performance context of polska dance and explore new artistic potential in the practice of playing for dancing in Swedish folk.

Abstract [sv]

Denna avhandling samlar en serie studier som berör svensk folkmusik och dans i teori och praktik. Studierna ger insikter i artikulationen av rytm och meter i en lokal stil av svensk polska samt om dessa element i samspelet mellan musik och dans. Studierna exemplifierar en ny kombination av olika metoder, inklusive dataanalys av musik- och dansframföranden, designmetoder och konstnärliga metoder till stöd för praktikledda undersökningar utförda i nära samarbete med de inblandade dansarna. Avhandlingen presenterar ett preliminärt koncept för tillgänglig sonifiering av rörelsedata från folkdans, med fokus på kontextuellt informerade urval av rörelseparametrar. Mediering av rörelsedata genom sonifiering spelar en central roll för att utforska musikteoretiska begrepp genom tillämpningar i konstnärlig praktik. Resultaten illustrerar den flerdimensionella karaktären av ljud och rörelseinteraktioner inom den specifika polsketypen. Dessutom presenteras konstnärliga verk som går utöver polskans sociala framförandekontext och utforskar nya uttrycksmöjligheter inom praktiken att spela till dans i svensk folkmusik.
