I am a MIR researcher and I am working on musical emotion. Recently I've become interested in how emotions get expressed in different musical genres. The reason is because the features that you can use for genre recognition (loudness, timbre, tempo) are also applicable for emotion recognition. Flamenco is, definitely, a very emotional musical genre. But are the specific performance manner and timbral characteristics of flamenco making it more capable of expressing certain emotions - nostalgia, passion, - and incapable of expressing others? For instance, sadness in flamenco is always very theatrical. Of course, you can say flamenco song is sad and Hoche Messe is sad, but those are very different kinds of sadness. I've started to study those things and discovered that emotional terms describe different things in different genres. Listeners of classical music feel "amazement, wonder" when they hear quick, joyful music, while listeners of electronic music feel amazed when they hear dark, awe and fear inspiring music. For listeners of classical music nostalgia is a sorrowful and tragic feeling, and for listeners of rock term "nostalgic" applies more to quite, slow and calm pieces. For my research I'm still collecting data, so if you want to participate in my study, please do so! You can fill in a questionnaire where you can listen to music (takes around 10 minutes), you will discover some new music and in the end also get feedback about your preferences and your similarity to other people. In order to take part in the study go to emotify.org. Thank you and comments welcome!
