Andre Holzapfel

Since October 1, 2016, I am with the Media Technology and Interaction Design department, and my research is within the area of Sound and Music Computing (SMC). Specific research topics that I focus on are the development of beat and meter tracking in musical audio signals, music corpus analysis -- especially of rhythmic aspects such as tempo, timing, and relation of performance to meter. My research in ethnomusicology focuses on the relation of dance and music, in particular in the island of Crete. Since my arrival at KTH, I extended my above research activities from analysis of audio and symbolic data, to the analysis of motion capture signals. In specific, my new research topics related to this are the tracking of human rhythmic behavior, applications of music in motion capture environments for rehabilitation purposes, and ethical aspects of computational approaches to music. Besides my research related to SMC, I also completed a second dissertation in ethnomusicology at the MIAM institute in Istanbul.

Guilherme C?mara

 

I have a Bachelor’s (2013) and Master’s degree (2016) in Musicology from the Department of Musicology at the University of Oslo. For my master’s thesis I investigated patterns of microrhythmic expression in classic funk and jazz-funk (1967-1971) recordings. In my Ph.D. project I am currently investigating the interaction between timing and sound at the level of rhythmic production, as well as perception, in live groove-based contexts more broadly. Here, a series of performance experiments have been conducted in order to answer to what extent instrumentalists might systematically manipulate ‘sound’ parameters – such as intensity, acoustic envelope and timbre – when playing under various instructed microrhythmic timing conditions (‘laid-back’, ‘pushed’, or ‘on-the-beat’). Motion-sound interaction patterns will also be investigated from parallel mo-cap data collected.
