Classifying Music-Related Actions

Our research on music-related actions is based on the conviction that sensations of both sound and body motion are inseparable in the production and perception of music. The expression "musicrelated actions" is here used to refer to chunks of combined sound and body motion, typically in the duration range of approximately 0.5 to 5 seconds. We believe that chunk-level music-related actions are highly significant for the experience of music, and we are presently working on establishing a database of music-related actions in order to facilitate access to, and research on, our fast growing collection of motion capture data and related material. In this work, we are confronted with a number of perceptual, conceptual and technological issues regarding classification of musicrelated actions, issues that will be presented and discussed in this
