Forme sonore in movimento -Moving sonic forms

Moving sonic forms allows the subject to promote an original process of dynamic signification through which the body becomes a “biologically designed mediator” able to transfer sound physical energy up to a mental level and to give back mental representation into a material form (Leman, 2008).In the embodied music cognition perspective the concept of perception seems to reflect the latest neuro-scientific debate, for which “what happens in perception can be understood in terms of action” (Jeannerod, 1994;Berthoz, 1997;Prinz and Hommel, 2002; Decety and Jackson, 2004). The conceptual framework of this work, in this sense, reflects the perspective of simplexity (Berthoz , 2011) in the educational field, that is the possible use of principles capable of simplifying the teaching action, using complex additional strategies (Berthoz, 2011) which are able to face the formative complexity (Sibilio, 2013). This approach, based on the bioeducational vision of teaching (Frauenfelder & Santoianni, 2002), recognizing in the formative experience the significance of educational corporealities (Sibilio, 2011),tries to capitalize the dynamic dimension of the musical sound, paradoxically drawing still images of a continuous stream (Godøy, 2003). On the educational field,the coupling of actions,forms and sounds, stimulates the signification processes through the expansion of the space of knowledge. The proposed project intends to provide a teachingoriented version of NodeBeat, a creative interactive music making software based on shapes and sounds to build and manipulate through the use of the IWB as support in Primary school.
