一项关于局部和声结构（如和弦进行）如何有助于体验和享受令人振奋的恍惚（UT）音乐的实证调查被提出。音乐学家强调了节奏和打击元素与由此产生的恍惚状态之间的联系，但据我们所知，没有研究探索过重复的和声元素是否会影响恍惚音乐听众的情感反应。本文讨论了两种可能的假设，第一个强调重复/复杂性与乐趣之间的直接关系，第二个基于冯特曲线所描述的理论倒u关系。我们通过跨学科的行为和计算方法研究了和声结构与主观享受之间的联系：首先，我们讨论了一个实验，在这个实验中，听众对计算机生成的具有不同程度的和声重复和复杂程度的UT国歌提供了享受评级。这些歌曲是用一个统计模型生成的，该模型是在为此目的而创建的100首令人振奋的恍惚歌曲的语料库上训练的，和声结构是通过在专业的UT音乐制作模板上施加特定的重复结构（定义序列中和弦顺序的符号模式）来限制的。其次，使用两种计算方法进一步探索和声结构与享受之间的关系，一种基于平均信息内容，另一种基于和弦之间的平均音调张力。听力实验的结果表明，和声重复确实有助于享受令人振奋的催眠音乐。更有说服力的证据证明了上面讨论的第二个假设，然而一些最大限度重复的结构也更受欢迎。这两种计算模型都为复杂性和乐趣之间的冯特型关系提供了证据。通过系统地操作和弦进行的结构，我们发现在特定的和声环境中，重复或复杂的结构有助于享受令人振奋的恍惚音乐。
An empirical investigation of how local harmonic structures (e.g., chord progressions) contribute to the experience and enjoyment of uplifting trance (UT) music is presented. The connection between rhythmic and percussive elements and resulting trance-like states has been highlighted by musicologists, but no research, to our knowledge, has explored whether repeated harmonic elements influence affective responses in listeners of trance music. Two alternative hypotheses are discussed, the first highlighting the direct relationship between repetition/complexity and enjoyment, and the second based on the theoretical inverted-U relationship described by the Wundt curve. We investigate the connection between harmonic structure and subjective enjoyment through interdisciplinary behavioral and computational methods: First we discuss an experiment in which listeners provided enjoyment ratings for computer-generated UT anthems with varying levels of harmonic repetition and complexity. The anthems were generated using a statistical model trained on a corpus of 100 uplifting trance anthems created for this purpose, and harmonic structure was constrained by imposing particular repetition structures (semiotic patterns defining the order of chords in the sequence) on a professional UT music production template. Second, the relationship between harmonic structure and enjoyment is further explored using two computational approaches, one based on average Information Content, and another that measures average tonal tension between chords. The results of the listening experiment indicate that harmonic repetition does in fact contribute to the enjoyment of uplifting trance music. More compelling evidence was found for the second hypothesis discussed above, however some maximally repetitive structures were also preferred. Both computational models provide evidence for a Wundt-type relationship between complexity and enjoyment. By systematically manipulating the structure of chord progressions, we have discovered specific harmonic contexts in which repetitive or complex structure contribute to the enjoyment of uplifting trance music.
