- Link Between Musical Preferences And Inner Moral Compass | FourthPortal
< Back Link Between Musical Preferences And Inner Moral Compass A study has uncovered a connection between individuals' musical preferences and their moral values, shedding new light on the profound influence that music can have on our moral compass. Queen Mary, University of London 16 Jan 2024 The research, conducted by a team of scientists at Queen Mary University of London and ISI Foundation in Turin, Italy, employed machine learning techniques to analyse the lyrics and audio features of individuals' favorite songs, revealing a complex interplay between music and morality. The results demonstrated that a combination of lyrical and audio features outperformed basic demographic information in predicting individuals' moral compass. Specifically, musical elements like pitch and timbre emerged as crucial predictors for values of Care and Fairness, while sentiments and emotions expressed in lyrics were more effective in predicting traits of Loyalty, Authority, and Purity. The study's implications extend beyond mere academic curiosity, holding the potential to impact how we engage with and utilise music in diverse aspects of life. “Our breakthrough can pave the way for applications ranging from personalised music experiences to innovative music therapy and communication campaigns,” commented Dr Kyriaki Kalimeri, senior co-author of the study and researcher at ISI Foundation.

< Back arXiv Open-Access Repository Of Electronic Preprints And Postprints (e-Prints) arXiv is a free distribution service and an open-access archive for nearly 2.4 million scholarly articles from physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. Cornell University 1 Aug 2023 arXiv (pronounced as " archive "—the X represents the Greek letter chi ⟨χ⟩) is an open-access repository of electronic preprints and postprints (known as e-prints ) approved for posting after moderation, but not peer review . It consists of scientific papers in the fields of mathematics , physics , astronomy , electrical engineering , computer science , quantitative biology , statistics , mathematical finance and economics , which can be accessed online. In many fields of mathematics and physics, almost all scientific papers are self-archived on the arXiv repository before publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Some publishers also grant permission for authors to archive the peer-reviewed postprint .

< Back Hypermedia Gravesend Hypermedia Event Curators At Fourth Portal Gravesend born and bred Harriet Hammond and Joe Clarey are the curators of a growing alternative Open Space series at the Fourth Portal in Gravesend. Meet Joseph One half of Hypermedia Creative practice: unwilling anthropologist,amateur street photographer,stylist,spoken word artist and clothes appreciator (some say hoarder) •What prompted you to create events? I've always wanted to do events in one dynamic or another but I have always had imposter syndrome and overly procrastinate in situations. It was actually the amalgamation of John at the fourth portal (@fourthportal) being so facilitating and supportive, and Hypermedias co founder Harriets’ energy that I could bounce ideas off of that really made me take the first step. The whole process felt really organic. (Shout out to Harriet, hypermedia wouldn't exist without her💃💃) •What’s your favourite thing about the events so far? The event as a whole just overwhelms me with pride. Afterwards me and Harriet are always elated and stunned by what transpires but I would have to say my favorite thing is just the sheer diversity and eclectic nature of the artists who participate and also of the crowd alike. Just being a part of something that brings people together and makes them feel comfortable with being vulnerable or even powerful (why not both) is truly a highlight to my month. So with that in mind I would like to say thank you to everyone Involved and I look forward to growing with you all. Meet Harriet The other half of Hypermedia Creative practice: Sculpture, video, stop motion, performance, clowning around. •What prompted you to create the event? I have a strong passion for self expression and love seeing people express themselves too. I thought about the idea for a few years but it wasn’t until I visited @fourthportal a few times that it became a reality. I invited a few friends to come down to the space as I loved the atmosphere and vibe that has been created. On a random afternoon I invited joe down and we chilled and chatted to John for a couple hours. Joes poetry and Joe in general has always inspired me, but it wasn’t until we went into the space, where we started talking about the idea of an event for all forms of art, with the opportunity for people to get in front of an audience, in a safe space. Both me and joe being from Gravesend also prompted us to create an event that we felt was needed in the town.SE info@fourthportal.com Ongoing from August 2023 To play, press and hold the enter key.
