SPECIAL RESEARCH PROJECT:

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE MEMORY

with the ArCoSys Mnemonic Method (AMM)

AMM was introduced in 2017 and continued as a special research project of the IWF (Institut für Wissenschaft und Forschung) at the MuK Vienna University. It features a multi-year study of a methodology specially developed to analyze and train the pianist musician’s onstage performance memory. Drawing on mnemonics as well as recent cognitive, psychological, and scientific research, it introduces a completely innovative aspect: The creation and methodical development of Artificial ‘Color Synesthesia’ (or ‘Chromesthesia’, or ‘sound-color synesthesia’) chromatically applied to the primary harmonic relations of the Circle of Fifths.
