Timbre is among the most important and the most elusive aspects of music. Visceral and immediate in its sonic properties, yet also considered sublime and ineffable, timbre finds itself caught up in metaphors: tone “color”, “wet” acoustics, or in Schoenberg’s words, “the illusory stuff of our dreams.” This multi-disciplinary approach to timbre assesses ...

Defining timbre — Refining timbre
Contemporary Music Review, 1994Timbre is defined as the attribution of spectromorphological identity. Electroacoustic music experience, particularly acousmatic music, questions the viability of a notion of timbre. Of primary significance is the traditional linking of timbre to the source and cause of a sound: the concept of source-cause texture is introduced to define this link. The

Real-time Timbre Remapping with Differentiable DSP
arXiv.orgTimbre is a primary mode of expression in diverse musical contexts. However, prevalent audio-driven synthesis methods predominantly rely on pitch and loudness envelopes, effectively flattening timbral expression from the input.

Abstract Organ stops, violin mutes, piano pedals: these are devices for altering an instrument’s sound, and one way to understand how these devices transform sound is that they change the timbre. Already in use and objects of discussion in the seventeenth century, organ stops and violin mutes, however, pre-date the idea of timbre ...

Timbre saliency vs. timbre dissimilarity – What is the relationship?
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013We have proposed the notion of timbre saliency as the attention-capturing quality of timbre. The definition of saliency requires an object to stand out with respect to its surroundings, implying dissimilarity between the object and its neighbors. What then might be the relationship between timbre saliency and timbre dissimilarity?

Timbre and composition ‐ timbre and language
Contemporary Music Review, 1987The function of timbre in 20th Century instrumental music is discussed in terms of the relation between timbre and musical language. Up to the 19th Century, the function of timbre was primarily related to its identity in addition to being charged with certain effective and symbolic characteristics. The identities of Western instruments are standardized,
