 Tuning,
Timbre, Spectrum, Scale by William A. Sethares
Tuning, Timbre,
Spectrum, Scale focuses on perceptions of consonance and dissonance,
and how these are dependent on timbre. This also relates to musical
scale: certain timbres sound more consonant in some scales than
others. Sensory consonance and the ability to measure it have
important implications for the design of audio devices and for
musical theory and analysis. Applications include methods of adapting
sounds for arbitrary scales, ways to specify scales for nonharmonic
sounds, and techniques of sound manipulation based on maximizing
(or minimizing) consonance. Special consideration is given here
to a new method of adaptive tuning that can automatically adjust
the tuning of a piece based its timbral character so as to minimize
dissonance. Audio examples illustrating the ideas presented are
provided on an accompanying CD. This unique analysis of sound
and scale will be of interest to physicists and engineers working
in acoustics, as well as to musicians and psychologists.
