“…Although participation varied widely between countries (from 36% in Spain to 4% in Mexico), it was generally associated with stronger feelings of togetherness (Granot et al, 2021). Yet, even in Italy whose balconies were heavily (over-)exposed in early pandemic media reports (Deaville & Lemire, 2021;Hansen et al, 2021), selfreported behavioral changes towards engagement in outdoors singing or playing were less prominent than overall increases in singing, playing, and composing music at home (Fink et al, 2021). People scoring high on openness to experience were generally more likely to sing or play music during lockdown (Finnerty et al, 2021).…”

“…When music consumption partly migrated from Spotify to YouTube (Sim et al, 2020), some listeners turned towards the topical repertoires of corona-themed music (cf. Hansen et al, 2021). At least 87.5% of Israelis were exposed to coronamusic videos, with the greatest prominence of humoristic clips followed by splitscreen recordings and performances in empty concert halls and musicians' homes (Ziv & Hollander-Shabtai, 2021).…”

“…Throughout this chapter, the term "coronamusic" will be used to characterize the cultural products resulting from engaging with music during COVID-19 lockdown in ways that make either direct or indirect reference to pandemic life circumstances or the coronavirus itself (cf.

“…Musical lockdown activities took various forms from live-streamed concerts (Swarbrick et al, 2021), splitscreen recordings (Hansen et al, 2021), daily rituals of balcony singing and clapping for healthcare workers (Imber-Black, 2020) to virtual raves (Palamar & Acosta, 2020) and listening parties (Lee & Kao, 2020). Amateurs and professionals took part as creators and consumers alike via new tele-conferencing and video-editing technologies and well-known social media platforms.…”

The pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus and associated COVID-19 disease in 2020 prompted governments around the world to pursue strict containment protocols to minimize contagion risk. Although restrictions were interpreted more strictly in some countries than in others, widespread social isolation resulted on an unseen scale, leading to severe negative mental health consequences such as loss of hope, increased anxiety, stress, depressive symptoms, and sleep disturbance. During this time, while governments were battling the health crisis, musical engagement provided key, individualized coping strategies for laypeople. This was first demonstrated anecdotally in captivating balcony music videos from Italy and Spain and later substantiated in large-scale, multi-country survey studies. This chapter reviews the emerging research literature on music listening and making during pandemic lockdown to assess whether and how music became a compensatory source of hedonic pleasure versus whether and how it satisfied the need for eudaimonic meaning in life during socially and psychologically impoverished times.

This study investigated the global changes in online music listening behaviors in response to COVID-19 and its restrictions (such as quarantine, school and workplace closures, and travel restrictions). In addition, the research included an examination of how friendship networks and online communication motives have moderated the effect of COVID-19 on music listening behaviors. The causal inference methods: difference in differences (DiD) and two-way fixed effects (TWFE), were conducted to analyze the online music listening behaviors and social interactions of 37,328 Last.fm users in 45 countries before and after the first wave of confinement. It was found that in response to COVID-19, the quantity, variety, and novelty of music consumption decreased, shifting toward mainstream artists, whereas individuals with more online social connections and communications showed the reverse behavior. Our research shows that online social interactions and community development significantly impact listeners’ behaviors and can be used as a guide to developing new design strategies for digital media, such as music, movies, and games.
