WEBVTT Kind: captions; language: en-us 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.600 Hello everyone and welcome to week 5 of Music Moves. Hans, what's up this week? 00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:18.200 We had the voting for the most groovy track, which is always exciting. Any newcomers on the list? 00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:24.200 It is difficult for newcomers because there are 11 tracks and they have been there for 00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:30.900 quite many years. Now I have almost one hundred respondents including this year. 00:00:31.299 --> 00:00:38.950 I have made a count to see which one is in the lead. And who's in the lead? 00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:49.400 It's actually James Brown. Traditional Funk. 00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:57.650 Not far behind is Buena Vista Social Club, a Cuban son, which is interesting since it's not typical 00:00:57.650 --> 00:01:07.600 West European pop music. Then there is a gap down to D'Angelo, 00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:16.400 a neo-soul very funky track. And Deadmau5, which is dubstep and something quite different. 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.500 Then you have Fela Kuti, afrobeat; and The Meters, which is also a traditional funk track. 00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:27.800 Then there's a bit of a jump down to the jazz track 00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:35.300 of Esperanza Spalding; Exaltasamba, a slow, hip-hop track; Digable Planet, an acid jazz thing. 00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:45.850 MeShell Ndegeocello, a very cool bassist, she's last. 00:01:45.850 --> 00:01:50.750 But if you are last on the top list, that's still pretty good. 00:01:50.750 --> 00:01:56.900 Buena Vista Social Club is the one that has most places in number one. 00:01:57.750 --> 00:02:02.100 I counted one, two, three, four, five, and you're number one you get five points. 00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:10.300 So that's interesting, and it's also intersting that there's always variety. 00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:17.000 None of these has not got any votes. That means that 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:26.000 people really decide differently on what they think is the most groovy... it's probably also dependent 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.800 on what type of genre it is. 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:33.300 If this is a genre you are comfortable with and if you like it. It's difficult to talk 00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:40.200 about groove and what it means. The description is that it makes 00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:48.500 you want to move, which is very subjective. 00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:52.900 So if you haven't given your vote yet, you should do it, so that Hans can include it in his count. 00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:56.300 And it will be part of next year's wrap-up. 00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:05.300 What else? It's the musical gestures? Gesture is always an interesting topic, it's a bit 00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:10.300 confusion there. One of the challenges is that some people think about gesture as just 00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:16.399 moving. Our approach to this is to talk about the meaning of the movement as well. 00:03:16.399 --> 00:03:19.800 The movement is important, but it is the meaning that you are really talking about when 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:25.800 you talk about gesture. So there is a subtle difference there. 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.800 I also see that people are excited about 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:32.900 video analysis. That's cool; because we are too. And I could mention that we have some new 00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:37.200 software that have been developed at the University of Oslo. We had this video analysis package, 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:40.800 which is a standalone thing for Mac and Windows where you can put in your video and you 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.500 will get something out. If you do some coding, we also have the Musical Gestures Toolbox 00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:50.000 for Matlab, and we are very much working on the Musical Gestures Toolbox for Python these days. 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.400 So if you're interested in that, you can you can check those out, 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.700 I'll put the links down there. 00:03:57.700 --> 00:04:05.800 Yeah, so good luck with the last week of the MOOC, week 6. And see you again next week.
