Podcasts about music cognition

For Women's History Month, we are revisiting Sound & Vision's 2021 miniseries, Behind the Console, which highlights the stories of women and nonbinary audio engineers who are navigating what is still a very male-dominated field. Today we meet Susan Rogers, who engineered for Prince for four years, working on albums like 'Purple Rain' and 'Sign o' the Times.' She also has credits with David Byrne, Tricky, and the Barenaked Ladies. She talks about what it was like keeping up with Prince's tireless creativity, and how it could be both exhausting and exhilarating. She also discusses eventually leaving engineering in her 40s to get her PhD in Music Cognition and Psychoacoustics, and how that has influenced her work in unexpected ways.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we are speaking with Jennifer Lin about their unique journey in becoming a music therapist and what a typical day looks like for them. Jennifer also shares their vision for the next 10 years and a little more about their research at the master's level. Here is a little more about Jennifer: Jennifer (they/she) is a certified music therapist (MTA) in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area. They completed their Honours Bachelor of Music with a specialization in Music Cognition from McMaster University followed by their Graduate Diploma in Music Therapy and Masters in Creative Arts Therapies (Music Therapy) from Concordia University. Jennifer received their accreditation in 2021 and currently is in their second year of practice. Jennifer has experience working with clients of all ages, their main interests include working with children, (Q)BIPOC, and disabled communities. They are a strong advocate for the use of music therapy in marginalized communities and amplifying minority voices. Jennifer received the George Stroumboulopoulos Music Therapy Scholarship from the CMTF in 2021 and recently received the Dr. Sandi Curtis Music Therapy Social Justice Award at their graduation from Concordia University in April!

...and what is it they say? Luke Clancy and a panel featuring contemporary artist/sean-nós singer, Ceara Conway; Durham University Professor of Music Cognition, Tuomas Eerola; and music journalist, Molly Cantwell discuss the space we make for sad songs, and accompanying tears.

Welcome aboard for Part 2 of the Safe and Sound Texas Audio Excursion conversation with Susan Rogers: record producer + engineer turned brain scientist who pursued learning the role of an audio technician by reading and working on equipment early in her career. Her big break to work for Prince in 1983 gave this self-starter the education of a lifetime with the megastar whose own penchant for learning, experiencing, teaching, and recording are well documented. From there, her studio experiences expanded into independent engineering, producing and mixing in the 1990's. At that time Susan achieved further success producing the Barenaked Ladies 4x platinum breakout smash "Stunt". She eventually phased out of in-studio work to attend college and earned a degree and Ph.D. in the areas of Music Cognition, Perception and Psychoacoustics. In September of 2022, her long anticipated book debuted: “This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You". In this book, the legendary record producer–turned–brain scientist explains why you fall in love with music and how you do it. The book can be found at all fine book retailers. Buckle up and join us for Part 2 of this latest Audio Excursion!

In this episode, we’re displaying the most impressive artists of the animal kingdom. From tiny visual masterpieces, to animals that can dance to a beat, we’re shining a spotlight on the art that can be found in nature.Deep in the Amazon rainforest, there’s a tiny structure that (if you’re able to spot it) catches your eye. The intricate silk henge is a mini masterpiece, and for some time nobody could say exactly what it was or why it existed. Phil Torres takes us on his journey of discovery and demystification.Next we’re exploring whether animals can dance to a beat and, if so, why? To help us try and answer that, we hear from Henkjan Honing, professor of Music Cognition at the University of Amsterdam. Finally, we turn our attention to Northern Australia’s great bowerbird. What can the males' elaborate constructions teach us about perspective?Thank you for listening to another series of the BBC Earth podcast.As ever, we love hearing from you on social media, so do share with us your favourite episode so far or a story that amazed, surprised or moved you…Website: www.bbcearth.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/bbcearth/Instagram: www.instagram.com/bbcearth/Twitter: www.twitter.com/bbcearth See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hosts Enbani and Mark interview Olivia Podolak Lewandowska, PhD, Assistant Professor with the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough, delving into the interdisciplinary field of music cognition, which combines music, psychology, neuroscience, music theory, musicology, music therapy, computer science and linguistics.   Olivia discusses her life-long passion for music as a pianist, how it led her to study the science of music more intensely, and her research, which investigates how the structural elements of music can guide performance and listening. She also compares musical processing between musicians versus non-musicians, both at the behavioural level and the neural level using EEG.  Olivia lets Mark and Enbani pick her brain on topics such as the relationship between music and performance, how popular music has changed over time, what the research says about what sounds good to our ears and the role of music in a society.   You'll learn about atonal music (check out Olivia's YPS Atonal Bangers playlist here), how people with perfect pitch process music differently, and get her recommendations about the best soundtrack to listen to when you're writing a thesis (Interstellar by Hans Zimmer).    Olivia received her B.Sc. in Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour, with a specialization in Music Cognition at McMaster University in 2012.  She recently completed her doctorate at the University of Toronto Scarborough in 2019, where she works as an Assistant Professor (Teaching Stream), primarily teaching statistics, but also music cognition when the opportunity arises.

Connect with Caroline here: http://www.carolinedavis.org/ Caroline and I had a great time talking about the complexities and beauty of life. Our conversation seemed to wind down many roads but the part that resonated with me is her ability to adapt to change. Singapore, Texas, Chicago, Atlanta and New York, have very little in common except for the fact that Caroline conquered them all. Mobile since her birth in Singapore, composer, saxophonist, and educator Caroline Davis now lives in Brooklyn, New York. After making her mark on the Chicago jazz community during her 8-year stint, she moved to New York in 2013, and has proven to be an active leader and side-woman in the national jazz scene. Bio: Her debut album, Live Work & Play, was featured on All About Jazz's best releases, and she was named one of JazzTimes' Best New Artists in the 2012 Expanded Critics' Poll. Her second album, Doors: Chicago Storylines, was just released as an audio documentary that uniquely sets stories from Chicago's jazz scene from the 80s and 90s alongside her original music. This year, she was named one of DownBeat's rising stars in the alto saxophone category. She has performed and recorded with a diverse group of musicians, including Matt Wilson, Ellis Marsalis, Matt Mitchell, Randy Brecker, Ron Perrillo, Victor Goines, Bobby Broom, Greg Saunier, Ron Miles, Dennis Carroll, Jeff Parker, Dan Weiss, Erin McKeown, Allison Miller, Jenny Owen Youngs, and Billy Kaye. Aside from her own quintet, she collaborates regularly with R&B indie band, Maitri, and has been a regular member of many outfits including Whirlpool, Fatbook, Charles Rumback Group, Deep Fayed, Matt Mitchell's Sprees, Billy Kaye Quintet, Paul Bedal Quintet, Orso, Chicago Jazz Orchestra, Caili O'Doherty Group, Dion Kerr Group, Elliot Ross, and Materials and Their Destiny. As an educator, Caroline brings her unique knowledge of music and psychology to her teaching, as she acquired a Ph.D. in Music Cognition at Northwestern University in 2010. She has been on the faculty at Litchfield Jazz Camp for the past 10 years, and has been a guest educator at Stanford Jazz Workshop, Birch Creek Music Center, Northwestern University, University of Colorado at Boulder, St. Xavier University, Columbia College, DePaul University, University of Texas at Arlington, Loyola University, Texas Tech, New Trier High School, Evanston Township High School, Denver School of the Arts, Newman Smith High School, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. She has also participated in several jazz mentorship programs, including IAJE's Sisters in Jazz and the Kennedy Center's Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Program. Support this podcast

Sam Suggs calls himself an omnivorous musician. I love this tagline. I feel like I’m eating at a fantastic fusion restaurant when I hear Sam’s music.  I'm not expecting these flavors to work, but they are so good together. First, he takes a little 1750s galant style. Next, he adds a dash of Verdi. He finally tops it off with—I kid you not—Skrillex and Daft Punk. Then he marches over to a bar and gives it a battle test in front of the patrons. Best of all, he does this without a looping pedal in sight. Learn more about how he works his magic in this interview. Sam is also kicking off the upcoming International Society of Bassists convention.  We dig into what he’s planning in our chat, and I know you’ll love what he’s got in the works.   Resources we covered in this interview: Sam’s website Sam’s YouTube channel Study with Sam at James Madison University Music in the Galant Style by Robert Gjerdingen (book recommendation)
