As researchers engaged in the study of consciousness through the prism of psychology, cognitive neuroscience and complexity science, we approach musicking as a stepping stone towards a richer understanding of consciousness in general.
musicking lies in the relationships that are established between the participants by the performance. Musicking is part of that iconic, gestural process of giving and receiving information about relationships which unites the living world, and it is in fact a ritual by means of which the participants not only learn about, but directly ...
Nov 27, 2013 · The idea of musicking is, for Small, simply a tool ‘for understanding the nature of the music act and its function in human life’ – a way to show that music is always embedded in our societal ways (Small Citation 1999, 12).

In this new book, Small outlines a theory of what he terms "musicking," a verb that encompasses all musical activity from composing to performing to listening to a Walkman to singing in the shower.

The starting point of a nonreductive understanding of music is right in the ...

This new work outlines a theory of what Small terms "musicking, " a verb that encompasses all musical activity from composing to performing to listening to a Walkman to singing in the shower ...

This paper proposes a way of understanding the confluence of the enactive approach to cognition and musicology in a wider sense. The implication is that existing socio-cultural approaches to meaning in music – whereby music is seen as a total social phenomenon, and the naturalistic view of music cognition may be articulated via the life-mind continuum proposed by enactivism. On the one hand ...
