Pitch salience in chords of harmonic complex tones
2009
Parncutt (1993) estimated the salience of the 12 chroma in chords of octave-complex tones (OCTs, Shepard tones). In each trial, listeners rated how well an OCT went with a preceding chord. The conventional root tended to go better than other chord tones. Non-chord pitches tended to go better if they corresponded to steps of associated scales; tones following the major triad went well if they belonged to the major scale (perfect fourth, major sixth, major seventh), following the minor if in (a) minor scale (major second, perfect fourth, minor sixth, minor seventh). The non-chord tones that went well tended to be missing fundamentals of incomplete harmonic series whose salience can be predict…
What Emotions and Free Associations Characterize Different Musical Styles?
2013
Bisesi, Parncutt, & Friberg (2011) extended Director Musices (DM) - a software package for automatic rendering of expressive performance (Friberg et al., 2006) that relates the expressive features of a performance not only to global or intermediate structural properties, but also to local events (grouping, metrical, melodic and harmonic accents). Friberg & Bisesi (2013) applied the new rule system to model stylistic variations corresponding to different historical periods and styles in piano music. In this project, we extend pDM - a pure data system for real-time expressive control of music performance (Friberg, 2006) - by adjusting algorithmic formulations inspired by a theory of musical a…
