'''Michael Frishkopf''', Professor of Music, Director of the Canadian Centre for Ethnomusicology, Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies, and Adjunct Professor of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta (Canada), as well as Adjunct Professor at the University for Development Studies (Ghana), is an ethnomusicologist, performer, and composer. A graduate of Yale College (BS Mathematics, 1984), Tufts University (MA Ethnomusicology, 1989), and the University of California, Los Angeles (Ph.D. Music, 1999), Dr. Frishkopf’s ethnomusicological research interests include music of the Arab world; Sufi music; sound in Islamic ritual performance; music and religion; comparative music theory; the sociology of musical taste; social network analysis; (virtual [world) music]; digital music repositories; machine learning for sound recognition, music information retrieval, and soundscape therapies; music in West Africa; participatory action research; psychoacoustics and music cognition; music and global health; indigenous medicine and music as medicine for integrative health; and [http://m4ghd.org music for global human development and social change].
  
High stress levels and anxiety, associated with delirium and sleep deprivation, are very common in critically ill patients, and may compromise recovery and survival, as well as increase length and costs of hospital stays.1–3 Pharmacological approaches typically used to treat these conditions have non-negligible expense, limited effectiveness, and potentially serious side effects. As means to counter high stress levels and related effects, music and sound therapies are low-cost, non-invasive, and without known side effects. Research has shown them to be highly effective if customized to the patient.4 Yet critically ill patients cannot be expected to communicate effectively with music therapists, who are scarce, frequently unavailable, and costly. Linguistic or cultural differences between patient and therapist may also limit their effectiveness.  
+
His research and teaching combine a number of different fields, including ethnomusicology, anthropology, Middle East studies, religious/Islamic studies, psychoacoustics, computer science, media studies, literary studies, music theory. He is a lifetime member of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the International Council for Traditional Music, the Canadian Society for Traditional Music, and the Middle East Studies Association of North America. He is also a member of the International Association for Music & Medicine.
  
'''Objective''':
+
He has received numerous fellowships supporting his research, including grants from Fulbright, the American Research Center in Egypt, the Social Science Research Council, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the Killam Foundation (Canada), the National Endowment for the Humanities, Canada Foundation for Innovation, New Frontiers in Research Fund, and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
  
Building on and integrating knowledge from four faculties (Arts, Science, Nursing, and Medicine and Dentistry), we propose to develop an innovative Autonomous Adaptive Soundscape (AAS), an intelligent bio-algorithmic system generating therapeutic soundscapes for critically ill patients, using machine learning and biofeedback to induce relaxation, improve sleep, and reduce agitation, anxiety and delirium. The AAS seeks to optimize the patient’s sonic environment by dynamically selecting, tuning, and mixing files from an audio library encompassing a wide range of recordings (natural, musical, and synthetic). A reinforcement learning approach5 will guide the search of the soundscape space based on autonomic biosignals indicating the patient’s current state, thereby delivering a customized soundscape to the patient.  No conscious, active engagement with the system will be required from the patient. System design entails close collaboration between researchers in music, computer science, and health sciences. Our ultimate objective is a system suitable for the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), one that is highly effective, always available, simple to operate, minimally intrusive, and low risk. Within the short-term of the Seed Grant we aim to develop, test, and evaluate a prototype system using healthy subjects, train HQPs, and disseminate results. We feel confident that success in this pilot project will greatly enhance our likelihood of success in relevant Tri-agency competitions for a larger grant sufficient to conduct more extensive, longer-term, Patient-Oriented Research in the ICU. The proposed system also promises enormous potential beyond the ICU, as stress, anxiety, and insomnia are pervasive social problems. Recent evidence-based research supports the use of music and sound for sleep,6 and has led to the specification of sonic criteria (rhythm, pitch, frequency, volume, genre, and duration) suitable for relaxation.7 However this research has not yet been operationalized in autonomous adaptive soundscapes, as we propose to do.

In performance, Michael specializes in the ''nay'' (Middle Eastern reed flute), and also performs the song-drum-dance traditions of Ghana. He is the founder (in 2004) of the University of Alberta Middle Eastern and North African Music Ensemble, as well as the University of Alberta West African Music Ensemble (in 1999). Both ensembles perform frequently in public in the Edmonton area, especially to support progressive causes.   He also performs “Third Stream” and world music inflected jazz on the piano, following studies with Ran Blake and others in the Third Stream program at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.

Research methods and design gather three broad disciplinary areas— music, computer science, and health sciences—across four interrelated and overlapping phases:  1. Engaging participants, 2. AAS development, 3. Healthy subject testing, and 4. Assessment, dissemination, and grant application. The project team comprises a diverse group of participants, including academics, health professionals, graduate students, and volunteers, serving as researchers, developers, advisors, and experimental subjects, with careful attention to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles, leading to balanced participation of women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and racialized minorities.

We will employ a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-intervention comparisons involving 20 (10 men, 10 women) healthy volunteers: team members carefully selected for diversity by researchers with training in EDI concepts and strategies. Following their informed consent, participants will receive 30 minute AAS interventions using headphones; efficacy will be assessed through pre- and post-intervention comparisons of: a) high and low frequency components of Heart Rate Variability (HRV); b) vital signs: blood pressure, heart and respiratory rates, and skin conductance, and c) self-reported relaxation scores on a 0-10 numeric rating scale, using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6). We will also explore participants’ perceptions of system effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability using a questionnaire (Likert and open-ended questions). We will synthesize experimental and qualitative data, disseminate results through conferences and journal articles in relevant disciplines (e.g. Medical Ethnomusicology, Music Therapy, Sound Studies, Machine Learning, Nursing, Critical Care, Rehabilitation Medicine, and Integrative Health), and apply for larger Tri-Council grants within two years.

Monthly meetings open to all project participants will be conducted using a non-hierarchical consensus model8 to build a strongly knit, inclusive, cooperative research community, to encourage active participation, and to open critical discussion, for both ethical and scientific imperatives. We will conduct comprehensive cumulative and gender- subgroup analysis to reveal potential gender-specific experiences and recommendations. We will report on progress at a concluding on-campus seminar, to which all participants will be invited, to present and discuss results, and to solicit suggestions for future directions. Periodic surveys sent to investigators will continue to track project progress for the following three years.

Our methodology explicitly incorporates EDI principles and addresses Canada’s Intersectional policy (Gender Based Analysis Plus, GBA+), in all aspects.  First, our team formation strategy has helped, and will continue to help, ensure team balance in gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age and disability. Second, AAS technology is designed to be adaptive across social identity, including gender, linguistic capacities, culture, and physical limitations, through reinforcement learning and audio library diversity. Ultimately, the project seeks to advance health equality through inclusive Patient-Oriented Research towards an adaptive sound therapeutic tool responsive to each patient’s unique identity, state, and needs.

This initiative closely aligns with the University of Alberta’s Strategic Plan, “For the Public Good”, by building bridges and developing interdisciplinary synergies between different research areas, faculties, and units; by training graduate students; and by engaging the university’s community in Patient-Oriented Research towards better health care for a diverse public.  It is relevant to three University Signature Areas:  Precision Health;  Intersections of Gender; and the recently approved AI and Society. Finally, it is highly relevant to four local research units: the Integrative Health Institute (IHI), the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (AMII), the Sound Studies Institute (SSI), and the Canadian Centre for Ethnomusicology (CCE).

In recent years, I’ve moved sharply towards an engaged ethnomusicology, centered on what I call [http://bit.ly/musicindev music and global human development], collaborating on production of “traditional” and “popular” musics (including media and music education) as tools for global development of communities marginalized and disempowered by colonialism and its aftermath, on either side of the North-South divide between “developed” and “developing” nations. Such work follows a participatory action research paradigm, ideally engaging local communities as equals, and subjecting all work to critical reflective scrutiny.
 +
 
 +
There are two main directions to this work:

===  [http://bit.ly/songsspd Songs for sustainable peace and development]  ===
 +
A set of participatory action research projects centered on the use of popular music to disseminate development messages, especially for key development issues in public health, education, religious/ethnic tolerance, and peace. I have been working primarily in collaboration with Liberian refugee musicians in Ghana, and recent returnees to Liberia, helping them articulate and disseminate musical messages of peace and development, producing media with a triple purpose:  catalyzing positive social change locally, raising awareness globally, and generating a revenue stream to support their musical communities.

Introduction

Michael Frishkopf, Professor of Music, Director of the Canadian Centre for Ethnomusicology, Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies, and Adjunct Professor of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta (Canada), as well as Adjunct Professor at the University for Development Studies (Ghana), is an ethnomusicologist, performer, and composer. A graduate of Yale College (BS Mathematics, 1984), Tufts University (MA Ethnomusicology, 1989), and the University of California, Los Angeles (Ph.D. Music, 1999), Dr. Frishkopf’s ethnomusicological research interests include music of the Arab world; Sufi music; sound in Islamic ritual performance; music and religion; comparative music theory; the sociology of musical taste; social network analysis; (virtual [world) music]; digital music repositories; machine learning for sound recognition, music information retrieval, and soundscape therapies; music in West Africa; participatory action research; psychoacoustics and music cognition; music and global health; indigenous medicine and music as medicine for integrative health; and music for global human development and social change.

His research and teaching combine a number of different fields, including ethnomusicology, anthropology, Middle East studies, religious/Islamic studies, psychoacoustics, computer science, media studies, literary studies, music theory. He is a lifetime member of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the International Council for Traditional Music, the Canadian Society for Traditional Music, and the Middle East Studies Association of North America. He is also a member of the International Association for Music & Medicine.

He has received numerous fellowships supporting his research, including grants from Fulbright, the American Research Center in Egypt, the Social Science Research Council, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the Killam Foundation (Canada), the National Endowment for the Humanities, Canada Foundation for Innovation, New Frontiers in Research Fund, and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

In performance, Michael specializes in the nay (Middle Eastern reed flute), and also performs the song-drum-dance traditions of Ghana. He is the founder (in 2004) of the University of Alberta Middle Eastern and North African Music Ensemble, as well as the University of Alberta West African Music Ensemble (in 1999). Both ensembles perform frequently in public in the Edmonton area, especially to support progressive causes. He also performs “Third Stream” and world music inflected jazz on the piano, following studies with Ran Blake and others in the Third Stream program at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.

Applied Ethnomusicology

Music for Global Human Development

(http://m4ghd.org)

In recent years, I’ve moved sharply towards an engaged ethnomusicology, centered on what I call music and global human development, collaborating on production of “traditional” and “popular” musics (including media and music education) as tools for global development of communities marginalized and disempowered by colonialism and its aftermath, on either side of the North-South divide between “developed” and “developing” nations. Such work follows a participatory action research paradigm, ideally engaging local communities as equals, and subjecting all work to critical reflective scrutiny.

There are two main directions to this work:

For a recent writeup, see this story.

Songs for sustainable peace and development

A set of participatory action research projects centered on the use of popular music to disseminate development messages, especially for key development issues in public health, education, religious/ethnic tolerance, and peace. I have been working primarily in collaboration with Liberian refugee musicians in Ghana, and recent returnees to Liberia, helping them articulate and disseminate musical messages of peace and development, producing media with a triple purpose: catalyzing positive social change locally, raising awareness globally, and generating a revenue stream to support their musical communities.

Several songs and a music video have been completed or are in progress; see http://bit.ly/songsspd.

Music for cultural continuity and civil society

Projects for cultural continuity, supporting Ewe music of Ghana, El Mastaba Centre for Egyptian Folk Music, the Egyptian Centre for Culture and Art, and AMAR (Foundation for Arab Music Archiving and Research), Beirut, including consulting as a member of the Board. Media products are designed to catalyze local social progress, raise global awareness, and generate a revenue stream for local musicians.
