Subject: Re: music mood From: "Steven R. Livingstone" <srl@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 21:54:52 +1000Hello Luis, My work focuses on the reverse of this problem, influencing musical emotions (e.g., make "happier"). This is achieved with a computational model that modifies musical features in real-time (tempo, key, mode, articulation, etcetera). Consequently, such features can also assist in determining a work's 'mood', as suggested by Joanna. This work is similar to the pDM extension by Friberg (referenced previously). Livingstone, S. R. & Brown, A. R. (2005). Dynamic Response: Real-Time Adaptation for Music Emotion. Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment. Regards, Steven. -- ========((((((((({{{{{{{+}}}}}}}))))))))======== Steven R.
