*Rhythm under the Microscope: An Interdisciplinary Conference on
Microrhythm and Groove in Popular Music*
25–27 September 2024, mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts
Vienna, Institute of Popular Music
Organized by Ralf von Appen in Collaboration with David S. Carter
(Loyola Marymount University)
Keynotes: *Anne Danielsen* (RITMO, University of Oslo) and *Justin
London* (Carleton College)
*Call for Paper Presentations and Workshops*
Since Charles Keil (1987) argued that very small variations in timing,
which he called “participatory discrepancies,” were crucial for a
sensation of groove, microrhythm has been the subject of much
scholarship in a variety of disciplines. Researchers have struggled to
find convincing empirical evidence for the aesthetic effects proposed by
Keil. Today, however, numerous studies show that timbre, center
frequency, dynamic envelope, and duration influence the perception of
rhythmic “feel” at least as much as timing. Recently, Danielsen et al.
(2024, 180) suggested distinguishing between microtiming and
microrhythm, using the latter as a broader term that encompasses not
just timing but also these additional aspects.
The range of disciplines, methods, and objects of investigation has
reached an impressive breadth: neuroscientists, psychologists and music
theorists investigate a wide variety of folk music, jazz, rock, hip-hop,
and electronic dance music using interviews, motion capture devices, and
onset detection algorithms, among other tools. While many such studies
have been conducted in controlled laboratory settings, analyzing
commercial recordings remains a challenge, particularly in the cases of
songs recorded without a click track.
Microrhythmic phenomena are also currently attracting a lot of attention
on popular platforms such as YouTube, in part due to the wave of
interest in the microrhythmic manipulations of pioneer J Dilla and the
many producers and drummers inspired by his music. At the same time,
user-friendly software is making it easy for the next generation of
music producers to achieve similar effects.
This conference seeks to bring together musicians and scholars from
various disciplines to connect their different perspectives and further
the current state of microrhythm and groove research. Paper
presentations should be 25 minutes long, with an additional 10 minutes
allotted for questions and answers. We also encourage scholars to submit
ideas for 90-minute workshops in which a group of participants would
have the opportunity to learn about current research methods or new
software and implement them.Artistic research is also highly welcome.
Applicants can submit a maximum of one presentation proposal and one
workshop proposal.
Topics of proposed papers and workshops might include but are not
limited to:
●New methods for measuring microrhythmic phenomena, including the use of
AI tools
●Microrhythm and bodily movement
●Perception of microrhythm and its neurological basis
●The effect of timbre, pitch, duration, etc. on the perception of groove
●Manipulation of microrhythm in digital music creation
●Relationships between the timing of multiple instruments in a band,
played live or manipulated in the studio
●Expressive timing in rap vocals
●Teaching microrhythm in music education
●Microrhythm in specific folk musics
●Identifying microrhythmic “fingerprints” of famous recording artists
