Leading scholars on musical rhythm from music psychology, neuroscience, musicology and ethnomusicology present papers on the current status of research into rhythm and groove. International guests: Justin London, Rainer Polak, Peter Vuust, and Maria Witek.
Postdoctoral researcher Natasha Barrett will present some of her latest research. Including a demo.
Welcome to the forth concert in a new series featuring 3D electroacoustic acousmatic music performed over 47 loudspeakers.
Welcome to the third concert in a new series featuring 3D electroacoustic acousmatic music performed over 47 loudspeakers.
Welcome to the second concert in a new series featuring 3D electroacoustic acousmatic music. In each concert we will play modern and classic immersive and dynamic spatial music on a 47 speaker ambisonics array installed in the motion lab at the Institutt for musikkvitenskap, UIO, Oslo.
This workshop is linked to our project on sound-producing body motion.
The upcoming workshop will be a basically practical, hands-on type workshop that we believe will be very useful for our ongoing work here.
We are much looking forward what we believe will be an informal but highly productive workshop, so hope to see you all there!
About the Electric Space Concert Series
The Electric Space Concert Series features 3D electroacoustic acousmatic music. In each concert we play modern and classic immersive and dynamic spatial music over the 47 speaker ambisonics array installed in the motion lab at the Institutt for musikkvitenskap, UIO, Oslo. Concerts 3 and 4 were a collaboration with the group “Electric Audio Unit” who specialise in the performance and programming of 3-D immersive sound.
Robert Wechsler (choreographer) and Andreas Bergsland (composer) will present a workshop concerning interactive technologies and approaches for turning human movement into music.
Professor Petri Toiviainen, a world leading music researcher from the University of Jyv?skyl?, will present an overview of the emerging field of sound and music computing (SMC).
Results from the 2015 Norwegian Championship of Standstill, held at the University of Oslo.
At by:Larm 2015 the first Norwegian Music Hackathon will take place, a concept which is organized on many of the biggest music festivals around the world. Free entrance and open for everyone.
Princeton professor Dmitri Tymoczko is giving a lecture in June entitled:
"Rock Logic"
Abstract: Using some of the ideas in my book (A Geometry of Music) I will outline an indigenous theory of Rock harmony, showing how these musicians uncovered a natural and deeply logical alternative to traditional harmonic procedures--one in which harmonies tend to go "backwards." I will show that similar ideas can be found in the music of the late 16th and early 17th century, including Morley and Schutz. From this point of view, the "functional" harmony of the baroque and classical period represents a departure from a larger norm.
M.Sc. St?le Andreas van Dorp Skogstad ved Institutt for informatikk avholder pr?veforelesning over emnet:
"Electronic Synthesis of Musical Sounds: Principles and Practices
The FourMs invites to an open workshop at the Motion Capture Lab. December 10-12. Complete schedule of activities and presentations is listed below.
Research fellow Kristian Nymoen will defend his dissertation on Friday 25 January 2013.
Methods and Technologies for Analysing Links Between Musical Sound and Body Motion
Hva skjer n?r sjakkspillere lager og bokstavelig talt ”spiller” musikk? Hvordan lyder sjakk matt? Flere fourMs-studenter er involvert i stykket Reunion 2012.
The International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL) is the first and largest conference covering the rapidly growing area of field-programmable logic. The 22nd FPL continues the tradition of the previous editions and will be hosted by the University of Oslo, Norway, 29-31 August, 2012.
fourMs researchers will be teaching, and fourMs students will be participating in the annual International Summer School in Systematic Musicology, this year to be held in Hamburg. More information.
Cand.philol. Risto Holopainen will defend his dissertation "Self-organised Sound with Autonomous Instruments: Aesthetics and experiments" for the title philosophiae doctor (ph.d.) of the University of Oslo.
In connection with the Ph.D. disputation of Risto Holopainen, the two external committee members – Eduardo Reck Miranda and Stefania Serafin – will visit the fourMs labs and hold short guest lectures presenting their current research. This is a great chance to hear two of the leading music technology researchers talk about their current research endeavours.

The International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression gathers researchers and musicians from all over the world to share their knowledge and late-breaking work on new musical interface design.
Every known culture has some form of dance, so it seems obvious that music and movement are closely connected with each other. But it's surprising how little we know about this connection. Why do certain tunes make us want to get up and dance, while others not so much? And when we do move, what compels us to do so one way and not another? What's more, when we watch others dance, why can we tell immediately if their gestures fit the music or not?
