Mild Dissonance Preferred Over Consonance in Single Chord Perception
2016
Previous research on harmony perception has mainly been concerned with horizontal aspects of harmony, turning less attention to how listeners perceive psychoacoustic qualities and emotions in single isolated chords. A recent study found mild dissonances to be more preferred than consonances in single chord perception, although the authors did not systematically vary register and consonance in their study; these omissions were explored here. An online empirical experiment was conducted where participants ( N = 410) evaluated chords on the dimensions of Valence, Tension, Energy, Consonance, and Preference; 15 different chords were played with piano timbre across two octaves. The results sugg…
Systemaattinen päättely asteikkoteoriassa
2017
Tämä tutkielma keskittyy musiikinteorian osa-alueeseen, jossa huomion kohteina ovat sävelasteikot. Pääasiallisin tehtävä on ollut tarkastella metateoreettisella tasolla, mitä tarkoittaa systemaattinen päättely asteikkoteoriassa ja mitä on systemaattinen asteikkoteoria. Metateoreettisen tarkastelun tueksi asteikkoteorian kysymyksiä on lähestytty myös kahdella tutkimuksellisella sovellusalueella. Ensimmäisessä sovellusalueessa on tutkittu, minkälaisia niin sanottua sointu/asteikko-teoriaa koskevia systeemejä on esitetty aineistoksi valituissa jazzmusiikin oppikirjoissa sekä minkälaisia asteikkojen ja moodien hierarkioita tai muita erityispiirteitä niistä voidaan löytää. Toisessa sovellusaluee…
At the interface between sensation and emotion : perceived qualities of single chords
2017
The focus of this dissertation is to investigate the perception of single chords, both in terms of perceived emotions and psychoacoustic qualities. Previous empirical research on harmony perception has mainly been concerned with horizontal aspects of harmony: studies focusing on vertical harmony perception have been rare. The current work aims to fill some of the still evident gaps between musicology, music psychology, and psychoacoustics with regard to single chord perception by combining both empirical and theoretical approaches. The work comprises three publications, based on two large-scale empirical experiments conducted with the aim of drawing the attention of both expert and inexpert…
