A popular science film on the creative brain of musicians and music pedagogy will be screened on the occasion of the Fête de la science in France 2022, on 15 and 16 October. "Inner listening, imagination and musical creativity" is a short documentary film by Ester Pineda, member of the Centre Européen de Musique's scientific board.
With music as the main theme, this popular scientific short film deals with research into the cognitive neuropsychology of music in an original approach to the musical imagination and the inner listening of pianists in the interpretation and teaching of music. "During my doctoral thesis, I participated in a filmmakers' competition and since cinema is one of my favourite artistic domains, I wanted to carry out popularisation activities in this form. My curious and playful side", explains Ester Pineda, who won first prize in the competition.
Inner listening, imagination and musical creativity, Ester Pineda's new documentary will also be premiered on YouTube.
Member of the scientific council of the Centre Européen de Musique, Ester Pineda is a pianist, a professor of artistic teaching at the Jean-Philippe Rameau Conservatory (Paris) and a doctor in systematic musicology (Sorbonne University - University of Caen). Her commitment to pedagogy has led her to become involved in research into the neuropsychology of music, focusing on brain activity in musical learning and interpretation. At the crossroads of musicology and cognitive psychology, her work focuses on the exploration of cognitive processes related to inner hearing and, in particular, on mnemonic processes (everything related to memory, or means facilitating the conservation of memories) as a function of the type of musical writing. Ester Pineda also contributed to the first international colloquium of the Centre Européen de Musique.
"Musical practice and performance involve highly complex processes that call upon the cognitive capacities of the human being as a whole. Few scientific works address the musical experience in an integrative approach and, in particular, the way in which the music itself (style, structure) determines the cognitive strategies implemented by the musician in the act of transmission. Eminently multimodal on the cognitive level, the internal mental representations of music (visual, motor, auditory, perceptual, etc.) constitute the different components of inner hearing and are inseparable from the central role of the body in the embodiment of music." A presentation by the pianist, pedagogue and musicologist, Ester Pineda, given on the occasion of the Centre Européen de Musique international and transdisciplinary colloquium ''De la musique avant toute chose / Music before all else'' (November 14th 2020).
