Our personalised, music-based approach contrasts and extends prior work with predetermined tonal sonification. FFAME progressively filters selected music based on angles of the trunk. Through a qualitative analysis of reported experience of 15 participants with chronic pain and 5 physiotherapists, we identify how sonification parameters and musical characteristics affect movement and meaning-making. Music-based movement sonification proved impactful across multiple dimensions: (1) encouraging movement, (2) escaping pain-related rumination, (3) externalizing pain experiences, and (4) scaffolding physical activities. Drawing on enactivism and related philosophies, the study highlights how the semantic indeterminacy of music, combined with real-time movement sonification, created a rich, open-ended environment that supported user agency and exploration. Sonification for pain management can be creative and expressive, enabling people with pain to extend challenging movements and build movement confidence. date: 2025-04 date_type: published publisher: ACM official_url: https://doi.org/10.1145/3706598.3713601 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2366964 doi: 10.1145/3706598.3713601 isbn_13: 979-8-4007-1394 lyricists_name: Potapov, Kyrill lyricists_id: KPOTA73 actors_name: Potapov, Kyrill actors_id: KPOTA73 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper series: ACM SIG CHI volume: 2025 place_of_pub: New York, NY, USA pagerange: 1-13 event_title: ACM SIG CHI '25 event_dates: 27 Apr 2025 - 1 May 2025 book_title: Proceedings CHI ’25, Yokohama, Japan citation: Potapov, Kyrill; Gold, Nicolas; Olugbade, Temitayo; Williams, Amanda; Overbeck, Christopher; Lynch, Danielle; Nygren, Minna; Potapov, Kyrill; Gold, Nicolas; Olugbade, Temitayo; Williams, Amanda; Overbeck, Christopher; Lynch, Danielle; Nygren, Minna; Berthouze, Nadia; - view fewer <#> (2025) Movement Sonification of Familiar Music to Support the Agency of People with Chronic Pain.
