#OpChangeTheWorld2 🌍 ️ Psychoacoustics
Genetics, music and semantics more in common than you might think
At Pandora, which is an app based on the Music Genome Project® (the most sophisticated taxonomy of musical information ever collected) they believe that "each individual has a unique relationship with music" -- no one else has tastes exactly like yours. So delivering a great radio experience to each and every listener requires an incredibly broad and deep understanding of music.
At ADmantX, we have created a genome project for online advertising. Our taxonomy includes over 900 categories and emotions to provide the greatest level of detail and targeting in the market today, as required by advertisers. We capture web page content genes containing topics, people, places, and things. They also contain behaviors, motivations and emotions; we have over 100 categories specifically for the emotions that readers experience in consuming content.
Using Semantics to Interpret Music
Music cannot be reduced to a combination of notes and rhythms that can trigger emotions. It is also a form of language likely to convey information. A new discipline, music semantics, focuses on this phenomenon. Music can not be reduced to a combination of notes and rhythms that can trigger emotions. It is also a form of language capable of transmitting information. A new discipline, musical semantics, focuses on this phenomenon.
Between our carefully selected playlists and the plays we hear in advertisements, radio shows and movies, music is part of our lives. But what does he say? Music conveys very abstract information, often interpreted in terms of emotions, says Philippe Schlenker, senior researcher at the Jean Nicod Institute 1 and a distinguished professor at the University of New York. Yet there is more than that, for example, a lower volume and a slower time indicate that a piece is being terminated, is it simply a matter of convention, which may vary from one culture to the other, or does the music contain messages that are interpreted at a deeper and more biological level?
Although the notion of dissonance seems obvious in the field of musicology, it does not have an equivalent nature. Yet it has a meaning and goes into the study of musical semantics. Research could help interpret the rules of traditional musicology for the purposes of psychoacoustics.
