Zehra F. Peyni̇rci̇oğlu · Journal of Biomusical Engineering · 2015
Mixing or blending the timbre of sounds, especially musical sounds, is an important technique in many fields. Composers, sound designers, and perception researchers in psychology make use of such blends for a variety of purposes. For instance, composers have a long-standing history of creating timbre blending effects through sophisticated orchestration, and have also theorized about creating hierarchies of timbre that would be useful in delineating large-scale form and structure in music.
