Towards Affective-Psychophysiological Foundations for Music Production

Abstract

This paper describes affective and psychophysiological foundations used to help to control affective content in music production. Our work includes the proposal of a knowledge base grounded on the state of the art done in areas of Music Psychology. This knowledge base has relations between affective states (happiness, sadness, etc.) and high level music features (rhythm, melody, etc.) to assist in the production of affective music. A computer system uses this knowledge base to select and transform chunks of music. The methodology underlying this system is essentially founded on Affective Computing topics. Psychophysiology measures will be used to detect listener’s affective state.
