The boat trip was one of the highlights of the social program - it was a gorgeous little vanilla sunset with a glass of Prosecco and great chats on #synaesthsia #pronouns and #awe

I’m there in the bottom right corner watching the sunset. 🌅

Thank you for #escoming

And with that, we bring #ESCOM12 to a close.

Thanks to all the presenters, chairs, delegates, volunteers, hub chairs, and all those who have joined us for the conference!

We look forward to seeing you all in three years for #escom13

Final #escom12 keynote given by Bruno Mesz who took us on a whirlwind tour of #crossmodal interactions with music. So many mappings (#smell, #shape, #colour, #taste) make sense with music but the level of explanation is not always easy to establish #musicscience

Congratulations and thank you to all those who joined #escom12 from our Melbourne Hub. It's been a total pleasure working with you, and hearing all of your exciting work.

In particular thanks to @SolangeGlasser and @PEPsych for chairing the hub.

The @ESCOMsociety General Meeting is now underway.

All members may join the meeting online.

Pizza night in York!

Done with the presentation for @escom12.bsky.social #ESCOM12! So happy to share my study with fellow music researchers and have a fruitful discussion.

Thanks Joy, César, and Persa for taking the lovely pics!

Niels Chr. Hansen presents a great talk about fado music at #escom12 & offers a new corpus. Fado are often in minor, utilise unstable pitches & long durations for appoggiatura. But is the Essen folk song collection the best benchmark for a comparison? #musicscience

Engaging summary of chills while performing music by Scott Bannister and Emily Payne at #escom12: They highlight the many ways performers occasionally experience chills (feeling accomplishment, immersion, connecting with audience, togetherness,..). What a great topic for #musicscience

This was my personal favourite talk so far at #ESCOM12York: Geoff Luck & Alessandro Ansani show a hockey stick function between performed tempo and age using a large Spotify-derived corpus. The result matches the changes in spontaneous motor tempo across life-span #musicscience #escom12

Our PhD student Nashra Ahmad from Durham University delivered her study on learning and recognition of long Indian cycles well at #ESCOM12York #musicscience #musicpsychology

Prof. Catherine Stevens shares her work in our second keynote presentation today, live from the Melbourne Hub.

¡Salud! From the conference team in la Plata!

Cheers from the York hub conference dinner.

#escom12 #musicpsych #musicscience

After a wonderful afternoon of presentations, symposia, flashtalks, and posters we close for the end of day 2.

In York, delegates will enjoy their conference dinner this evening.

We look forward to seeing you all, fresh faced and raring to go tomorrow morning.

Ian Cross explains in his #ESCOM keynote how dominance and power has influenced (too much) our views on music and social interaction as it is an exception compared to affiliative mechanisms. He pools evidence from a wide range of disciplines. 1/2 #ESCOM12York #musicscience #musicpsychology

Ian Cross, keynote presentation

It is an honour and privilege to welcome Prof. Ian Cross to York, and #escom12 to deliver our first keynote presentation.

Few careers have been as consistently influential Cross, and we are so grateful to him for sharing his work with us today.

@kirtsconnor.bsky.social outlines a bold ambition to develop a measurement tool for emotional episodes of music, which are situated and contextualised experiences #ESCOM12York #musicscience #musicpsychology

Arrived in Melbourne yesterday for @ausmuspsysoc.bsky.social / @escom12.bsky.social on the coldest Melbourne morning in two years.

The view was nice though:

Some highlights from our social programme.

Those in York have gone to partake in the social program for the evening: sampling York's pubs, exploring the haunted history of the city, and taking in the river at sunset.

#escom12 #musicpsych #musicscience

What a wonderful first day!

We are so grateful to all the presters for sharing their work with us today. It has only made us more hungry to hear more throughout the conference!

We will bring you more highlights tomorrow.

#escom12

And we’re off! Andrew Schaivio and Helen Daffern launching proceedings and giving us all a great big welcone to @escom12.bsky.social

#ESCOM: in memoriam - Alf Gabrielsson who pioneered expressive performance and music and emotion research eulogised by John Sloboda #musicscience

We also recognise the contributions of Alf Gabrielsson.

We are greatful to John Sloboda
for sharing his memories of Alf's contribution to our field.

#escom12

We are pleased to be able to honour and celebrate the contribution of Irène Deliège to our field.

Geraint Wiggins eulogises her, and highlights that we would likely not be meeting in York for ESCOM today, if it were not for her.

#ESCOM: in memoriam - Irène Deliège who almost single-handedly formed ESCOM and the journal Musicae Scientiae #musicscience eulogised by Geraint Wiggins

Thank you to all of our colleagues in Melbourne for their coordination! We hope you had a good first day, and say good night at this point.

It looks like they have been having a great time!
