The cultural evolution of distortion in music (and other norms of mixed appeal). [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol SciMusic traditions worldwide are subject to remarkable diversity but the origins of this variation are not well understood. Musical behaviour is the product of a multicomponent collection of abilities, some possibly evolved for music but most derived from traits serving nonmusical functions.

Distortion and Western Music Chord Processing [PDF]
Music Perception, 2018 Guitar distortion used in rock music modifies a chord so that new frequencies appear in its harmonic structure. A distorted dyad (power chord) has a special role in heavy metal music due to its harmonics that create a major third interval, making it similar to a major chord.

Tonal schemas: Evidence obtained by probing distorted musical scales [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1987 Listeners were presented with a normal major diatonic scale or with a distortion of that scale obtained either by stretching or by equalizing its intervals. The scale was followed by a test tone, selected from a series of quarter tones spanning the range of the scale, and listeners rated how well the test tone fit in with the scale.

On the automated recognition of seriously distorted musical recordings
IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 2001 A new methodology is presented for the automated recognition-identification of musical recordings that have suffered from a high degree of playing speed and frequency band distortion. The procedure of recognition is essentially based on the comparison between an unknown musical recording and a set of model ones, according to some predefined specific ...

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions in college music majors and nonmusic majors
Noise and Health, 2016 The presence and absence of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) as well as DPOAE amplitudes were compared between college music majors and a control group of nonmusic majors. Participants included 28 music majors and 35 nonmusic majors enrolled at a university with ages ranging from 18-25 years.

Transparency, technology and trust: Music metrics and cultural distortion [PDF]
, 2020 Transparency issues influence many aspects of modern society and are critical in balancing the dichotomy between personalisation and privacy. Transparency behaviours have previously been refined into the disclosure, clarity and accuracy (DCA) model (Schnackenberg & Tomlinson, 2014). This thesis has two projects.

Read my lips: speech distortions in musical lyrics can be overcome (slightly) by facial information [PDF]
Speech Communication, 2009 Understanding the lyrics of many contemporary songs is difficult, and an earlier study [Hidalgo-Barnes, M., Massaro, D.W., 2007. Read my lips: an animated face helps communicate musical lyrics. Psychomusicology 19, 3-12] showed a benefit for lyrics recognition when seeing a computer-animated talking head (Baldi^(R)) mouthing the lyrics along with ...

Distorted Sounds: Unlocking the Physics of Modern Music
In the production of modern music, the musical characteristics of the guitar or keyboard amplifier play an integral role in the creative process. This article explores the physics of music with an emphasis on the role of distortion in the amplification. In particular, we derive and illustrate how a distorted amplifier creates new musical notes that are

Historical development, sound aesthetics and production techniques of the distorted electric guitar in metal music [PDF]
Metal Music Studies, 2017 Abstract The sound of the distorted electric guitar is particularly important for many metal music genres. It contributes to the music’s perception of heaviness, serves as a distinguishing marker, and is crucial for the power of productions.
