                LECTURE/DEMONSTRATION ON QUALIA IN MUSIC 
   WITH TALKING BY JOSEPH GOGUEN AND DEMONSTRATION BY RYOKO GOGUEN    

  Philosophers have generally taken a simplistic view of qualia, as 
  feeling tones associated with basic perceptions, such as a patch of 
  red. But much more complex qualia appear in music, involving 
  simultaneous perceptions, sequences of perceptions, emergent 
  properties of blended qualia, sensory and conceptual discrimination 
  limitations, both short and long term memory, and more. We will 
  discuss and demonstrate such phenomena, and also consider 
  improvisation, mentioning some challenges that it poses to the 
  philosophy of music. We will argue that certain problematic aspects 
  of both qualia and improvisation arise from failure to take full 
  account of the situatedness of human experience, especially its 
  social contextualization.
