| Abstract | In Hindustani Dhrupad vocal improvisation singers often appear to engage with melodic ideas by manipulating intangible, imaginary objects and materials with their hands, such as through stretching, pulling, and pushing. This observation suggests that some patterns of change in acoustic features of the voice allude to the interactions that objects through their physical properties can afford and they are defined by the sensation of effort required for fighting against or yielding in to the resistance involved in the interaction. The present study reports on the exploration of relationships between the voice, the interaction possibilities of malleable (elasticity) vs. rigid (weight/friction) objects and the physical effort they appear to require as perceived by an observer in Dhrupad vocal improvisation. |
