Body, Sound and Space in Music and Beyond: Multimodal Explorations

This volume discusses theories and recent research on music and sounds from a wide range of disciplines, including music psychology, composition, musicology, computer science, music theory, sound arts, acoustics and neuropsychology. Topics range from the pleasures of being locked into the beat of the music, perception-action coupling and bodily resonance, and affordances of musical instruments, to neural and cross-modal experiences of space and pitch. Applications of these findings are discussed for movement sonification, room acoustics, networked performance, and for the spatial coordination of movements in dance, computer gaming and interactive artistic installations.
