Musicians are bearers of the culture. They let us listen to music, which is intangible cultural heritage that has been created over centuries worldwide. To produce various musical expression based on creativity and intelligence requires sophisticated sensory, motor, and cognitive skills, which are acquired through years of extensive training from childhood. However, in the course of training, a number of musicians have suffered from failures of creating desired musical expression through performance and/or from physical and mental troubles. A goal of “Musical Dynaformics” is to realize sustainable development of culture, through research and development for enriching expertise and wellness, such as sophisticating musical skills, training, and education, and preventing overuse injuries and choking under pressure. Through making educational platform that can keep being updated based on the achievement of research and development, we dream a future in which both musicians and audience can keep being moved by music.

"If you want to accomplish in your life, one thing that would contribute to the future of humanity - what is that?" How do researchers at Sony CSL reflect on these questions and engage with their own research? And what kind of place is Sony Computer Science Laboratories, shaped by such individuals? Through the words of the researchers themselves, we hope to share part of that perspective.
