Abstract
This paper describes an experiment that has been performed
to verify if the well known association between the words
“takete” and “maluma” and the images of two shapes (one
jagged and one rounded) could be replicated using two
sound movements in space instead of the visual shapes.
In this case the association is not cross-modal since both
the stimuli are in the auditory domain, but the connection
between words and sound movements is not trivial.
A significant preference (twelve out of thirteen subjects)
associated “takete” with the jagged sound movement and
“maluma” with the round one. Colored noise was used as
stimulus. The qualitative answers of the subjects suggest
also a possible common expressive intention that could be
conveyed by the two words/sound movements: an aggressive
attitude to “takete” and a more calm and feminine one
to “maluma”.
