Subjective Perception Space of Musical Passages

摘要

An experimental construction of the subjective (emotional) space of perception of musical sound fragments used in the GarageBand app for iOS to help the composer has been carried out. A representative set of 20 sound fragments was selected on the basis of an experiment on the classification of all samples from this database, which were further evaluated in 3 types of experiments: on the basis of multidimensional scaling of differences between them, on the basis of direct scaling of emotional qualities (Semantic Differential Method for 25 adjective pairs), based on direct scaling on three SAM scales (in the PXLab variant). As a result, the individual features (points of view) of these sound samples were investigated and a correlation comparison of the obtained results was carried out. As a result, the interrelation of all used scales is shown and a way of their integration into a four- dimensional spherical model of emotions is presented.
