Abstract
This paper is a preliminary attempt to investigate the perception
of sound movements as expressive gestures. The idea is that if
sound movement is used as a musical parameter, a listener (or a subject)
should be able to distinguish among dierent movements and she/he
should be able to group them also according to the expressive intention
that a given sound movement is supposed to convey. A couple of experiments
have been carried out in this direction: rst the subjects had to
group the stimuli according to the perceived expressive intention, then
they had to reproduce the sound movement by drawing it on a tablet.
Preliminary results show that subjects could consistently group the stimuli,
and that they primarily used paths and legato{staccato patterns to
discriminate among dierent sound movements/expressive intention.
