An Exploratory Study of Multimodal Physiological Data in Jazz Improvisation Using Basic Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract: Our study delves into the "Embodied Musicking Dataset," exploring the intertwined relationships and correlations between physiological and psychological dimensions during improvisational music performances. The primary objective is to ascertain the presence of a definitive causal or correlational relationship between these states and comprehend their manifestation in musical compositions. This rich dataset provides a perspective on how musicians coordinate their physicality with sonic events in real-time improvisational scenarios, emphasizing the concept of "Embodied Musicking."
