  • The specificity of expertise: For whom is the clave pattern the “key” to salsa music?

    L. Getz, S. Barton, M. Kubovy (2014). Acta Psychologica; Volume 152, October 2014. Each Latin salsa music style is associated with a characteristic clave pattern that constitutes an essential structure for performers. In this article we asked what types of expertise are needed to detect the correct salsa–clave pairing. Using two clave patterns (the 3–2 and 2–3 son clave) and…

  • The Human, the Mechanical, and the Spaces in between: Explorations in Human-Robotic Musical Improvisation

    S. Barton (2013).  Published in the Proceedings of the Ninth Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment International Conference (AIIDE 2013) Abstract HARMI (Human and Robotic Musical Improvisation) is a software and hardware system that enables musical robots to improvise with human performers. The goal of the system is not to replicate human musicians, but rather to explore the novel…

  • Understanding Musical (dis)continuity

    S. Barton (2012).  Dissertation.  Published by ProQuest.

Part of the reason for this is that our experience of musical (dis)continuity is influenced by a number of physical, cognitive and perceptual factors, and thus is complex.…
