Topic: Zoomusicology


  
  Zoomusicology - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
One purpose of the book was to “begin to speak of animal musics other than with the quotation marks” (Mâche 1992: 114), and he is credited by Dario Martinelli with the creation of zoomusicology ([1]).
Zoomusicology may be distinguished from anthropomusicology, the study of human music.
Zoomusicology is most often biomusicological, and biomusicology is often zoomusicological.

 A BRIEF DEFINITION OF ZOOMUSICOLOGY
The goal of this article is to analyse a specific portion of the enormous area of musical universals, from a zoosemiotic (and zoomusicological in particular) perspective, i.e., starting from the hypothesis that certain ‘universal’ musical features—which I call transpecific traits—are shared within a zoological domain, rather than simply the human one.
Zoomusicology approaches “non-human animals” from the direction of human sciences, and music from the direction of biological sciences.
In zoomusicology, this level constitutes the best-known part of the research, with many of its aspects having already been investigated by ethology.

 The Myth of Musicology: Part 2
Please be aware that I would add these three readings to the course list only if there was sufficient time to cover the previous material since they are tangential and are not representative of the mainstream.
The first is an article by Dario Martinelli, "Methodologies and Problems in Zoomusicology," in which he outlines zoomusicology as a discipline and its connections to zoosemiotics, the limitations and potentials for research, problems, methodologies, and its possible relation to ethnomusicology.
Martinelli defines zoomusicology as the study of "the aesthetic use of sounds among animals."

Margaret Boden identified 3 kinds of creativity (combinational, exploratory and transformational) and demonstrated a keen interest in interactive art.
Dario Martinelli talked about zoomusicology (study of the aesthetic use of sound communication among animals — including humans) and played an unforgettable recording of a lyre bird which included imitating a saw and gunshots in its song repertoire.
Dario thought we should not be so worried about anthropomorphism in interpreting animal behaviour; if an animal looks content, perhaps it is.

 Zoosemiotics and Interstellar Message Construction - SETI Institute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Some of the semiotic codes tracked in zoosemiotics may also be applicable to the semiotics of interstellar communication.
Japanese composer Shinji Kanki makes use of such conventions, discovered in the field of zoomusicology, when composing music for dolphins.
On the basis of the two branches of zoosemiotics presented above, we will propose a set of semiotic conventions discovered in interspecies communication that can be seen, mutatis mutandis, as applicable to interstellar message construction.

The father of Zoomusicology (a real thing), Nicolas Ruwet, first studied birdsong for his seminal book Langage, musique, poésie (1972).
Using paradigmatic segmentation analysis, he showed that birdsongs are organised according to a repetition-transformation principle.
