Title: On Musical Hearts and Heart Music
Abstract: Much exciting work exists at the intersection of music information research and cardiovascular science, a connection made possible by the commonalities between music and heartbeats and music’s profound impact on the heart. I shall describe how background research on mathematical and computational approaches to representing music expressivity leads to our citizen science approach to marking the structures musicians create in performance, offering new paths to discovering the reasoning behind performance decisions. Next, I will demonstrate how music transcription offers new views on both music expressivity and abnormal heart rhythms, with impact on music generation and potentially disease stratification. Finally, I shall show how these computational approaches to characterising expressivity and performance decisions allow us to link how music is communicated to how it impacts listeners, thus presenting new tools for studying autonomic modulation through music, with promise for formalizing knowledge about the therapeutic effects of music†.
