Why does music make you move?

What makes you move to some types of music but not others?

What are the differences between motion, action and gesture?

Hello, my name is Kristian Nymoen. My research is about music technology and music and body movement.

When you are listening to music, are you only listening?

Hi, my name is Hans Zeiner-Henriksen. My research areas are music and movement and rhythm and groove.

How is the quality of groove in music related to movement?

Hi my name is Alexander Jensenius. My main research interest is to understand more about music and movement. And also to develop technologies for creating music through movement.

We all know that people move to music. But why is this so? As music researchers we are interested in understanding the theoretical foundations for such movements and we use different types of methods for studying movement. 

But what are these? That is what we are going to teach you in this course.
