DigiScore_Transdisciplinary_roundtable_6_Laura_Bishop

Roundtable discussion with Dr. Laura Bishop. Topic: How can we understand togetherness in ensemble performances with collaborative/ interactive/ intelligent digital scores? This was the sixth conversation in a series of trans-disciplinary discussions with experts from a range of fields to enhance the theoretical understanding of the digital score. The aim of this series is exploratory and openness so that we expose, rather than close, new insights that help us understand meaning-making in digital score creativity. Critical insights from this 1-2-1 are: - musical togetherness can be understood as being socially rewarding, and this can be split into two distinct areas: 1) close musical alignment, b) social connections - These are positive connections and meaningful from an emotional connection as well as musical competencies - musical togetherness tends to be focused on embodied relationships, such as shared rhythms, feelings, and synchronicity. - Key factors are: presence, ability to distinguish self and others as/ in sound, reliable relationships Digital scores can evoke a sense of togetherness by (in order of difficulty): 1. being responsive beyond rhythmic synchronicity such as dynamic, articulation, phrasing 2. sharing musical goals beyond sound parameters into musical ideas. Perhaps learning over time 3. showing itself to be creative; offering sensible motives, inspiration and playfulness 4. showing facets that are aligned to the natural musicality of humans; these may be familiar to inspire meaning-making. Challenges to the research: 1. Attention issues - does a digital score demand too much attention? Is it too verbose or trying to show too much? Does it take the musicians out of the music? 2. How does it segregate itself from the others? Can it integrate as a musician into the ensemble? 3. The digital score is a useful platform for testing out togetherness due to its disruption of many musical norms (scoring), controllability, and defined aesthetic ideas.

与劳拉·毕晓普博士的圆桌座谈。研讨主题：我们应如何理解协作式、交互式、智能型数字乐谱（digital score）在合奏表演中的共在感（togetherness）？
本次座谈是跨学科研讨系列的第六场，该系列汇聚多领域专家，旨在深化对数字乐谱的理论认知。本系列研讨秉持探索性与开放性原则，旨在发掘新洞见而非画地为牢，以助力我们理解数字乐谱创作中的意义生成机制。
本次一对一座谈的核心洞见如下：
- 音乐共在感可被视为具有社交回报属性，其可划分为两个明确维度：1）紧密的音乐契合度；2）社交联结。
- 二者均为积极联结，既源于情感共鸣，也依托音乐能力素养。
- 音乐共在感往往聚焦于具身化的联结关系，例如共享的节奏、情感与同步性。
- 核心影响因素包括：在场感、在声响中区分自我与他者的能力，以及可靠的联结关系。
数字乐谱可通过以下方式（按实现难度由低到高排序）唤起共在感：
1. 突破节奏同步性的响应边界，例如对力度、演奏法、乐句处理作出响应；
2. 超越声响参数范畴，共享音乐理念层面的创作目标，或可通过长期迭代实现；
3. 展现创作属性，提供富有合理性的动机、灵感与趣味性；
4. 呈现契合人类自然音乐天性的特质，此类特质可唤起熟悉感，助力意义生成。
本研究面临的挑战包括：
1. 注意力负荷问题：数字乐谱是否会占用过多注意力？是否过于冗余或试图展示过多内容？是否会让演奏者脱离音乐本身？
2. 它如何与其他演奏者区分开来？又能否以演奏者的身份融入合奏群体？
3. 由于数字乐谱能够打破诸多传统乐谱创作规范、具备可控性且拥有明确的美学理念，因此它是检验共在感的优质实验平台。
