The University of Hamburg's Music and Space Institute conducts comprehensive investigations into the various types of spaces in music: acoustical, psychological, and semantic. This research encompasses measurements from clubs and concert halls in Hamburg, focusing on crucial parameters like reverberation time (T60), interaural cross-correlation (IACC), and echodensity. Additionally, it analyzes 150 musical excerpts across five genres, aiming to understand how spatial characteristics influence semantic perception in music. The findings aim to enrich our understanding of the interplay between music and its spatial contexts.

Kinds of Spaces • Acustical Space (Reverberation time T60, Interaural Cross Correlation IACC, Echodensity, Definiteness D80, Head, Head-Related Transfer function ect.) • Psychological Space (Tonal Space, Timbre Space, Instrument positions ect.) • Semantic Space (Form, narrative time, genre space, ect.)
Investigations Material: 1) Measurements in Hamburg clubs and concert halls Parameters • T60 – Size of space • IACC – Width of space • Echodensity – attributes of space • Fractal Correlation Dimension – complexity of space • Multidimensionale Scaling (MDS) Perceptual Dimension of Space
Investigations 2) 150 Musical Pieces (15-sekunds excerpts), 5 genres á 30 pieces Parameters: Semantic Perception, 11 similar adjectives • Echodensity – spatial complexity • IACC – size of space • Fractal Correlation Dimension – Tonal Space
