Effect of phase on the timbre and detection of timbre of complex tones
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975It has been assumed that the human auditory organ can detect only the spectra of complex tones, but recently it would appear that the ear can detect not only these spectra but also the difference of the phase relation among harmonics. In such a case, however, the condition of detecting has not yet been discussed thoroughly.

The perception of musical timbre
2012This article discusses musical-timbre perception. Musical timbre is a combination of continuous perceptual dimensions and discrete features to which listeners are differentially sensitive. The continuous dimensions often have quantifiable acoustic correlates.

Abstract Re-read section 2.4 to remind yourself of the meaning of ‘timbre’ or ‘tone-colour’, and its applications, ranging from the wholly obvious qualities which differentiate a string quartet from a brass band, the subtler difference between, say, the lowest and highest strings of a violin and, most subtle of all, the varieties of ...

Timbre, the distinctive quality of a particular sound, has become an increasingly critical analytical focus in recent music theory. Yet the sublinguistic nature of timbral cognition and the parameter’s inherent multidimensionality pose significant challenges to description and representation.

Issues in Timbre and Perception
Contemporary Music Review, 1994Since electroacoustic technology has made it possible to utilise a sounding repertory no longer restricted to a pitch-based model it allows composers to create a music in which timbral possibilities are more fully explored but at the same time imposes new demands on its audience.

Pitch and timbre influences on the short-term memory for timbre
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1994Memory for pitch is susceptible to same-dimension interference as a function of pitch distance, while remaining relatively free from cross-dimensional (e.g., timbre) interference [C. Semal and L. Demany, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 89, 2404–2410 (1991)]. This study investigated whether analogous effects occur in memory for timbre.

Terretêktorh: space and timbre, timbre and space
2012In this article, we will analyze the way in which Xenakis uses space, fills it with sound and colors it according to the processes of composition used in his work Terretêktorh. Does there exit a particular way of spatializing the timbre in Xenakis and in particular, in this work? Do there exist rhythms of timbre?
