Le piccole percezioni leibniziane possono corrispondere al modo in cui esperiamo i microeventi istantanei quotidiani di cui è composta la nostra vita.
In musica, la superficie sonora è composta di note non essenziali, che nell’analisi strutturale proposta da Schlenker e analisi simili (Jackendoff & Lerdahl) vengono selezionate per trovare lo scheletro del brano musicale.
La nostra ricerca del senso della vita somiglia all’analisi strutturale della musica, ma il godimento della vita stessa non può che somigliare alla percezione minuta di ogni singola onda del nostro mare.
E’ tutta,
In ogni umano stato, ozio la vita,
Se quell’oprar, quel procurar che a degno
Obbietto non intende, o che all’intento
Giunger mai non potria, ben si conviene
Ozioso nomar. (Giacomo Leopardi)

Come spiegare in poche parole a un ricercatore australiano come diavolo sei passato da Badiou alla musicologia cognitiva
Well, it was many years ago (1998). I studied with Badiou for two years, for my D.E.A. about Deleuze and… Badiou himself.
At the end of that experience I was satiated of French philosophy and I felt the need for a more empirically grounded style of thought (that was my criticism of his philosophy: it is a form of idealism).
I started a PhD with him but after some times I stopped, because I was no more convinced. Than I did a PhD in philosophy with a French wittgensteinian scholar, Antonia Soulez: the topic was the philosophical style. In that thesis I worked on Relevance Theory, and at the end of it I understood that this theory could be applied to music. So I started my present research program on “musical relevance”, a concept that I formed mixing Relevance Theory and Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s A Generative Theory Tonal Music.
If you are interested you can read a 2012 paper accepted by CogSci: http://mindmodeling.org/cogsci2012/papers/0224/index.html
This version completely lacks of the psychological experimentation that we have done and we are doing after, but It is a first statement of my theory.

Toward a formalization of musical relevance: EuroCogsci 2011 (abstract)
This study is a tentative essay of formalization of the concept of Musical Relevance. Even if it is conceived in the framework of computationalism, until now Sperber and Wilson’s Relevance Theory has no implementation. Moreover it has never been applied to the case of musical thinking.Our claim is that the application to music of the concept of Cognitive Relevance would permit to partially explain hearers’ behavior and composers’ choices. An efficient implementation could also give a support to the compositional decisions. The investigation of the plausibility of a computational model of Musical Relevance could contribute to the formulation of a general theory of musical cognition.We suggest to unify Relevance Theory with Generative Theory of Tonal Music, in order to formulate an algorithm for the calculation of Musical Relevance, approximating a model of relevance-guided musical reasoning (understanding/creating). Finally we analyze some aesthetical consequences of applying Relevance Theory to music.
Keywords: Generative Theory of Tonal Music; Tonal Pitch Space; tonal tension; musical effect; Relevance Theory; processing effort.

Formalizzare la rilevanza musicale (abstract per AISC)
Il presente studio ha come obiettivo la formulazione e la formalizzazione del concetto di Rilevanza Musicale, a partire dalla Relevance Theory di Sperber e Wilson (1986/1995). Pur concepita nell’ambito del computazionalismo, tale teoria non ha ancora trovato applicazioni computazionali e non è mai stata applicata alla cognizione musicale. Il concetto di Rilevanza Musicale permetterebbe di spiegare in parte il comportamento musicale degli ascoltatori e le scelte dei compositori e un’efficiente implementazione potrebbe fornire un ausilio alla composizione. Inoltre, indagare la plau-sibilità di un dispositivo computazionale per il calcolo della Rilevanza Musicale può contribuire alla formulazione di una teoria cognitiva dell’ideazione musicale e del pensiero creativo in generale. In questo studio proponiamo di ibridare la Relevance Theory con la Generative Theory of Tonal Music di Fred Lerdhal e Ray Jackendoff (1983), al fine di formulare un algoritmo per il calcolo della Rilevanza Musicale, approssimando così un modello di simulazione del ragionamento musicale.
