Check out our latest research led by @fruzsiszucs.bsky.social on how semantic associations with music (e.g., music that sounds like "rain" or "birds") impact autobiographical memories recalled in response to this music. You can read the preprint here: doi.org/10.31234/osf...
Next Wednesday: Songs beneath the Sacred Tree. Hong Hyojin and Jung Younrak — both officially recognised as Cultural Assets 82-1 — perform the extraordinary songs, dances and drumming of South Korea's East Coast shaman tradition, with Prof. Simon Mills. Palace Green, 7.30pm.
Why Context Matters in Music and Emotions — a blog post on why emotional experiences with music cannot be explained by musical features alone, but require a contextualised understanding of the listener and situation.
