In this article, a case study based on qualitative interviews with the Danish String Quartet (DSQ) is presented, where a total of 12 hours of interviews was recorded, drawing on ethnography-related methodologies during tours with the DSQ in Denmark and England in 2012 and 2013.Abstract:
In this article we explore the role of pre-reflective, embodied, and interactive intentionality in joint musical performance. Putting together insights from phenomenology and current theories in cognitive science, we present a case study based on qualitative interviews with the Danish String Quartet (DSQ). A total of 12 hours of interviews was recorded, drawing on ethnography-related methodologies during tours with the DSQ in Denmark and England in 2012 and 2013, focusing mainly on their experience of perception, intentionality, absorption, selfhood and intersubjectivity. The analysis emerging from our data suggests that expert musicians’ experience of collective music-making is rooted in the dynamical patterns of perception and action that co-constitute the sonic environment(s) in which they are embedded, and that the role of attention and other reflective processes should therefore be reconsidered. In putting forward our view on ensemble cohesion, we challenge Keller’s and Seddon and Biasutti’s influent...read more

Embodied music cognition and mediation technology
Peter E. Keller,Petr Janata +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Leman examines how these developments might be unified into something that is simultaneously a theory of music cognition and a blueprint for the music mediation technology of the future, and the main mediating principle elaborated on in the monograph, which is more intellectual discourse than textbook, is rooted in the belief that musical interactions are socially charged, embodied affairs.

Framing a phenomenological interview: what, why and how
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a framework that can integrate research paradigms of the well-established disciplines of phenomenological philosophy and qualitative science, by using the qualitative interview.

Measuring social interaction in music ensembles.
TL;DR: An overview of recent research on social interaction in music ensembles with a particular focus on studies from cognitive neuroscience; and studies adopting a computational approach for carrying out automatic quantitative analysis of ensemble music performances are presented.
Musical creativity and the embodied mind
TL;DR: In this article, an approach to musical creativity based on an 4E (embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended) understanding of cognition is presented, which may help us better understand creativity in terms of how interacting individuals and social groups bring forth worlds of meaning through shared, embodied processes of dynamic interactivity.

Neural alpha oscillations index the balance between self-other integration and segregation in real-time joint action.
TL;DR: It was observed that, when pianists were familiar with each other's parts, millisecond variations in interpersonal synchronized behavior were associated with a modulation of alpha power over right centro-parietal scalp regions.
