Synthesising Timbres and Timbre-Changes from Adjectives/Adverbs [PDF]

, 2006
Synthesising timbres and changes to timbres from natural language descriptions is an interesting challenge for computer music. This paper describes the current state of an ongoing project which takes a machine learning approach to this problem. We discuss the challenges that are presented by this, discuss various strategies for tackling this problem ...

Musical timbre: bridging perception with semantics [PDF]

, 2013
Musical timbre is a complex and multidimensional entity which provides information regarding the properties of a sound source (size, material, etc.). When it comes to music, however, timbre does not merely carry environmental information, but it also ...

Spatializing Timbre with Corpus-Based Concatenative Synthesis [PDF]

, 2010
Corpus-based concatenative synthesis presents unique possibilities for the visualization of audio descriptor data. These visualization tools can be applied to sound diffusion in the physical space of the concert hall using current spatialization ...

Corpus-Based Transcription as an Approach to the Compositional Control of Timbre [PDF]

, 2009
Timbre space is a cognitive model useful to address the problem of structuring timbre in electronic music. The recent concept of corpus-based concatenative sound synthesis is proposed as an approach to timbral control in both real- and deferred-time ...

Timbre as an Elusive Component of Imagery for Music

Empirical Musicology Review, 2007
Evidence of the ability to imagine timbre is either anecdotal, or applies to isolated instrument tones rather than timbre in real music. Experiments were conducted to infer the vividness of timbre in imagery for music.

Pitch and timbre interfere when both are parametrically varied. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Pitch and timbre perception are both based on the frequency content of sound, but previous perceptual experiments have disagreed about whether these two dimensions are processed independently from each other. We tested the interaction of pitch and timbre

Computer Models for Musical Instrument Identification [PDF]

, 2006
PhDA particular aspect in the perception of sound is concerned with what is commonly termed as texture or timbre. From a perceptual perspective, timbre is what allows us to distinguish sounds that have similar pitch and loudness. Indeed most people are

How vocal timbre impacts word identification and listening effort in traffic-shaped noises [PDF]

JASA Express Letters
This study investigated how variation in vocal timbre (e.g., neutral and twangy) influences intelligibility and listening effort in traffic-shaped noises.

Poetics of hypertimbralism in music

Proceedings (European Academy of Sciences and Arts), 2022
My presentation is an attempt to introduce and clarify an original concept which I called Hypertimbralism, that refers to music based on Hypertimbre as the foundation for musical composition.
