Learning and liking an artificial musical system: Effects of set size and repeated exposure
(2008)
We report an investigation of humans' musical learning ability using a novel musical system. We designed an artificial musical system based on the Bohlen-Pierce scale, a scale very different from Western music. Melodies ...
Long-term melodic expectation: The unexpected observation of distant priming effects
(2009)
This report provides a brief account of an experiment whose control conditions produced interestingly counter-intuitive results. The method adapted priming techniques to explore whether imagining well-known melodies ...
Mastery through imitation: A preliminary study
(2005)
A paradox exists between the long history of teaching music through imitative strategies and the demand to possess original artistic insight. This article addresses this paradox by investigating the general musical ...
Melodic and contextual similarity of folk song phrases
(2007)
Various models of melodic similarity have been proposed and assessed in perceptual experiments. Contour and pitch content variables haven been favoured although music-theoretical and statistical variables have also been ...
Melodic improvisation at the age of 6-11 years: Development of pitch and rhythm
(2007)
The keyboard melodic improvisations of 6-11-year-old children (N=36) were explored for age-related development and representational types of production. The hypotheses were founded on a model of musical development by the ...
Melodic similarity as a determinant of melody structure
(2007)
This paper presents an approach to the analysis of melodic similarity as a determinant of melody structure, which has been applied successfully as a computational system of analysis for the prediction of segmental structure ...
Memesatz contra Ursatz: Memetic perspectives on the aetiology and evolution of musical structure
(2010)
This article discusses the aetiology and evolution of musical structure, specifically the sonata-form exposition, from a memetic perspective. It regards established musical forms as replicated schemata arising from the ...

Modelling experts notions of melodic similarity
(2007)
In this article we show that a subgroup of music experts has a reliable and consistent notion of melodic similarity, and that this notion can be measured with satisfactory precision. Our measurements enable us to model ...
Modelling of scales in traditional solo singing
(2005)
Background in psychoacoustics. The scale in freely intoned music is characterised by pitch "zones" resulting from and reflecting categorical perception. Usage of the zones depends on aspects of performance as well as on ...
