Very interesting project. This is something that I’ve always been interested in. I’ve filled out one memory, and will probably come back and fill out some more.

Will you be publishing the results publicly?

2  Scott Brainard  25 October 2004 07:20

Filled it out. I’d love to see the results.

I’ve been trying to fill out the form, but when I hit my backspace key to fix a typo, it takes me back to this page. i’ve been trying my best to type it correctly without hitting backspace - but it’s just a habit i can’t break.

not complaining - just wanted to give you a heads up. :)

but the idea seems it could be cool. :)

Nice project there. Just when I read what it was about, a very intense memory of a song came to me, so I posted it straight there. ‘3am eternal’ by the KLF .. do you remember the 90’s?

I *would*, but I’m unsure about privacy issues. What are the policies of the Nundroo International Corporation Ltd. Inc. GhB. S.R.L.? ;-)

sounds like a great project, as far as I guess it is the visualization of music and memory right?

I cannot wait to see the results, I am sure they will be awesome. please remind us when it is finished. and btw I have been following your articles about ivrea and really enjoying them, please keep them coming.

great idea! however, you could add more ink to the sketchpad :)

I had recently been thinking about this, but more of a music connected to books kind of thing. I filled one memory out, by the way.

10  Adrian Moisey  26 October 2004 11:02

If you move the pen fast, you end up with more ink. If you move it slow, you get less ink. After youve finished your ink, you can click on the pad and get some lines from the bottom right corner. Thats a super slick form!!!

we just added some more ink for the pleasure of the sketching masses:) now, let’s see your Picasso skills in action…

12  Josue Salazar  27 October 2004 01:12

I’ve filled the form too.

The Unforgiven…. oh the memories.

13  Veerle Pieters  27 October 2004 13:54

Hi Didier, I’ve filled in the form. If you come across a Belgian memory back in the Summer of 1979 this could be mine ;-) …1979 were is the time…boy I’m old!

I have contributed to the survey. Where can we read the result once you’ve analyzed it?

15  isma  30 October 2004 02:56

I’ve developed a flash interface project which depended heavily on user input. It has failed so far because there’s no comunity of users to participate in it. That’s my fault. It just makes me think that you are lucky you’ve already built a comunity of readers around your blog, and how your blog can be considered as an integral part of your music database project, strategy-wise. There so much potential for fun visualizations in the “blogosphere” (the “Friend of a Friend” project comes to mind). Sounds interesting!

i too, have filled in as many memories as i could think of, and i’m sure i’ll be back with more later. i’ll also be checking back every now and then, hopefully to find out how these results will work out!

I am sixty, I play piano, organ, guitar and accordion. Since my fifteen, I played these instrument in the church. When I sing or hum any song played long time ago, I can remember all scene related to this song. I remember several details-people, place,decoration, etc.-, that without the music I believ I couldn’t remember. Consequently, I think the music stimulate my memory. It is only my experience.

what you need to do is get everyone in a scanner while you ask these questions….planum temporale on the right side…a little hippocampus, anterior cingulate, posterior parietal..? hmmm..even better…a functional scan…to see these areas light up in which sequence during recall.

yes.

this a really great idea! i’m writing my thesis about the effect of music on the emotions, and of course the memories music can bring to people’s minds, play a very important role. i wrote down 1 memory, but i’ll definitely add more, cos i always want to help those who’re also interested in music+memory or emotions!! ciao, L
