Sentire il groove: aspetti percettivi e partecipativi
No full textThe study of groove is part of a general re-evaluation of rhythm that took place towards the end of the 20th century. The phenomenon of groove is commonly associated with pleasurable involvement and synchroniza- tion with musical rhythm, inducing responses that are expressed in body movements and psychological entrainment. In syntactic/structural theo- ries, groove is believed to emerge from a combination of cyclically repeat- ed rhythmic lines, while in processual/performative interpretations, it is considered in terms of a musician’s embodied rhythmic sensibility or as the result of interplay in ensemble performance. Whether groove is con- sidered in terms of ‘text’ or performance, scholars often refer to a unified set of parts, similar to the psychological concept of Gestalt. This essay aims to place groove among the pillars of a more general aesthetic theory of popular music, evaluating both the expressive-performative and delib- erately machinic aspects of programmed and electronic popular music. Thus, groove is seen as an aesthetic trait aimed at encouraging direct and immediate participation, which occurs through active and embodied ex- periences and not through formal intellectual contemplation

EDM Theory and Fiction: The Conceptual Dimension of Musical Waves. A Conversation with Steve Goodman/Kode9
No full textThe crossing of music and academia has shaped Steve Goodman’s career since he started DJing funk and psychedelic jazz in the early 1990s, while majoring in philosophy in Edinburgh in his native Scotland. After moving to England to pursue a PhD at the University of Warwick, Goodman's taste shifted to electronic dance music, specifically jungle, a fast-paced genre based on accelerated breakbeats. Jungle emerged within rave culture and is an early example of what Reynolds would later term the “hardcore continuum.” in the evolution of EDM styles. In Warwick, Goodman succeeded in connecting his academic and musical interests. He joined the autonomous research collective CCRU (Cybernetic Culture Research Unit). There, through the work of British-Ghaneian scholar Kodwo Eshun on afrofuturism, Goodman realized that the intensity of the new forms of EDM like jungle could spawn new concepts: that music was not only about dancing (or listening) but had the potential to inspire theoretical inquiry

No full textOckham and oratio mentalis
No full textOckham was the first to carry out a complete process of grammaticalization of mental language carefully outlining distinct specific rules for the written, spoken and mental language. From a formal point of view Ockham’s program appears to many contemporary scholars as incomplete and inadequate, particularly when he attempts to eliminate equivocity and synonymy in mental language. But, on the ground of the Augustinian epistemology, the Franciscan logician seems to be stating that mental language is not devoid of ambiguities because it is a perfect language, even if it is a language devoid of the unclearness due to the will to deceive, as it is the expression of the inner Self
