Abstract
Human gestures contain certain characteristics and meanings in communication and represent a link
between intention and body. This paper describes a
pilot study investigating the role of ancillary musical
gestures in understanding musical meaning from the
listener's standpoint. We conducted a perceptual experiment
using motion-capture recordings of musicians.
Participants were presented video recordings
and reconstructed point-light displays of music performances. By asking them to rate certain musicrelated
parameters we found that abstract motions of the point-light displays yielded similar ratings to those
of the real recordings. This suggests that pure body
motion seems to be sufficient to communicate certain
musical impressions.
