Effects of Low-frequency Absorption on Perceived Tightness of Bass Imagery in Music Reproduction.
J Acoust Soc Am. 2008 May;123(5):3089
Authors: Martens WL
In order to enable unbiased observation of the effects of low-frequency absorption on auditory imagery associated with multichannel loudspeaker reproduction, binaural recordings were made of surround sound program material that was reproduced over full-range loudspeakers located in a room that was specially constructed to allow for variation in low-frequency acoustical treatment. These recordings were then presented via headphones to allow for double-blind comparison of the variation in auditory imagery associated with selected changes in room acoustics while holding listener and loudspeaker locations constant. Several perceptual attributes were examined, but the listeners were able to make the most clear distinctions between auditory spatial images in terms of the attribute identified as the “perceived tightness of bass imagery.” Analysis of the signals presented to the listeners’ ears in these binaurally-reproduced multichannel music samples showed that the tightest bass imagery was associated with high values of interaural coherence, with lower values producing more “muddy” bass imagery.

Psychoanalytic perspectives on music: an intersection on the oral and aural road.
Psychoanal Q. 2008 Apr;77(2):507-30
Authors: Nagel JJ
This paper is organized around two ideas. The first invites the reader to consider the importance of music in emotional life, suggesting that for some people, music can have profound, deep, and transformative effects, both in loosening defenses and in deepening the psychoanalytic experience. The second idea is that analysis of the formal properties of music have both specific and overdetermined meanings that share elements with psychoanalytic principles. I suggest that, if the verbal analysis of dreams paves a royal road to the unconscious, the formal properties of music provide an aural road to the same destination. Two clinical vignettes and scenes from Verdi’s opera Otello are used to illustrate these interrelated ideas.
