Abstract
Abstract: Sound-producing body motion and associated body postures shape musical sound in interaction with musical instruments or the vocal apparatus, making images of such body motion and postures integral to our experiences of music. In this chapter we shall look at some sound-producing body motion features, and focus on how postures at salient moments in time serve as landmarks for both motion and sound, as well as how the fusion of small-scale motion units and sounds by so-called coarticulation creates posture-centered sound-motion objects in musical experience.
