Cross-Modal Musical Expectancy in Complex Sound Music: A Grounded Theory.

ABSTRACT: Expectancy is a core mechanism for constructing affective and cognitive experiences of music. However, research on musical expectations has been largely founded upon the perception of tonal music. Therefore, it is still to be determined how this mechanism explains the cognition of sound-based acoustic and electroacoustic music, such as complex sound music (CSM). Additionally, the dominant methodologies have consisted of well-controlled experimental designs with low ecological validity that have overlooked the listening experience as described by the listeners. This paper presents results concerning musical expectancy from a qualitative research project that investigated the listening experiences of 15 participants accustomed to CSM listening. Corbin and Strauss' (2015) grounded theory was
