A Perceptually Motivated Visualisation Paradigm for Musical Timbre
Sean Soraghan, Alain Renaud, Ben Supper · Electronic workshops in computing · 2016
Background is given on existing research into the perception and description of timbre. This is used to contextualise the development of visual mappings for acoustic timbre features. Two example systems are explained and discussed, which demonstrate the use of perceptually motivated mappings from acoustic features to visual properties, in specific contexts. Possible applications and extensions of such systems are proposed.
