“…Building on Tagg's socio-semantic view of musical meaning [100], we hypothesised that audio features play an important role in comprehending how people align their music preferences with moral worldviews. Despite difficulties in predicting Care and Fairness foundations reported previously [20,67], we improved the predicting results for these foundations mainly when adding acoustic features.…”

Music is a fundamental element in every culture, serving as a universal means of expressing our emotions, feelings, and beliefs. This work investigates the link between our moral values and musical choices through lyrics and audio analyses. We align the psychometric scores of 1,480 participants to acoustics and lyrics features obtained from the top 5 songs of their preferred music artists from Facebook Page Likes. We employ a variety of lyric text processing techniques, including lexicon-based approaches and BERT-based embeddings, to identify each song's narrative, moral valence, attitude, and emotions. In addition, we extract both low- and high-level audio features to comprehend the encoded information in participants' musical choices and improve the moral inferences. We propose a Machine Learning approach and assess the predictive power of lyrical and acoustic features separately and in a multimodal framework for predicting moral values. Results indicate that lyrics and audio features from the artists people like inform us about their morality. Though the most predictive features vary per moral value, the models that utilised a combination of lyrics and audio characteristics were the most successful in predicting moral values, outperforming the models that only used basic features such as user demographics, the popularity of the artists, and the number of likes per user.Audio features boosted the accuracy in the prediction of empathy and equality compared to textual features, while the opposite happened for hierarchy and tradition, where higher prediction scores were driven by lyrical features. This demonstrates the importance of both lyrics and audio features in capturing moral values.The insights gained from our study have a broad range of potential uses, including customising the music experience to meet individual needs, music rehabilitation, or even effective communication campaign crafting.

“…In this study, subjects deemed “musically competent” will be those who self-identify as such and possess expertise in music owing to their educational background and past experiences. Following Tagg’s (2009) constructs, “musically competent users” will possess both “knowledge in music” (“poïetic competence” of creating/composing music and “aesthesic competence” of recognizing the culturally specific connotations of the music they listen to or produce) and “knowledge about music” (ability to address both musical metadiscourse , i.e., music in its formal aspects, and contextual metadiscourse , i.e., music in its cultural, social, economic, industrial implications).…”

In an age where music streaming platforms have become the primary media for music listening, the experiences of musically competent users are often overlooked. Employing a mix of research methods (semi-structured interviews, reflective diaries, and analysis of on-platform-activity metadata provided by Spotify’s APIs), this contribution aims to explore the viewpoints of musically competent users from Italy, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands regarding music streaming platforms. Through critical analysis, the study investigates both the subjective and objective aspects of their listening experience, as well as their interpretation of algorithmic mediation and platform affordances. The findings illustrate that competent users perceive the usage patterns afforded by streaming services to be insufficient in meeting their needs and the platforms to have been progressively diluting the quality of their listening experiences. Despite this, the study shows that streaming platforms lack alternatives to such an extent that even knowledgeable subjects prefer making do with this condition—they consider appropriate to their current lifestyle—rather than striving to enhance their consumption experiences. Furthermore, hypotheses are posited, suggesting that adopting a “platform criticism” stance may be a distinction marker of competence status.

“…This is not to suggest that interpretation is infinite. Umberto Eco (1990, p. 6) has stressed the ‘limits of the act of interpretation’ and Philip Tagg's (2012) comprehensive semiotics of music has demonstrated the way listeners understand the meanings of musical signifiers within specific circumstances and contexts. Musicians, of course, are well aware of this.…”

Songwriters and song lyrics: architecture, ambiguity and repetition

This article argues for understanding popular songs and songwriting through the metaphor of architecture, an idea we draw from vernacular terms used by songwriters when comprehending and explaining their own creative practice, and which we deploy in response to those who have called for writing about music to use a non-technical vocabulary and make greater use of metaphor. By architecture we mean those recognisable characteristics of songs that exist as enduring qualities regardless of a specific performance, recording or sheet music score. We use this analogy not as a systematic model, but as a device for exploring the intricate ways that words and music are combined and pointing to similarities in the composition of poetry and writing of song lyrics. The art of repetition and play with ambiguity are integral to popular song architectures that endure regardless of the modifications introduced by performers who temporarily inhabit a particular song. *** In this article we argue for an architectural approach to the popular song, a perspective that treats songwriters as architects rather than romantically inspired expressive artists. Our approach implies that listeners are indeed dancing (and thinking) about architecture when responding to popular songs, and it is an awareness of this that informs the practices of songwriters.1 By architecture we mean those recognisable characteristics of songs that exist as enduring qualities regardless of a particular performance, recording or version.Focusing mainly on lyrics, our aim is to contribute to the study of songwriters and the practices of songwriting -an area neglected or treated partially in the study of popular music. 2 We also
