Functional organization for musical consonance and tonal pitch hierarchy in human auditory cortex
Pitch relationships in music are characterized by their degree of consonance, a hierarchical perceptual quality that distinguishes how pleasant musical chords/intervals sound to the ear. The origins of consonance have been debated since the ancient Greeks. To elucidate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these musical fundamentals, we recorded neuroelectric brain activity while participan...
متن کاملConchord: An Application for Generating Musical Harmony by Navigating in a Perceptually Motivated Tonal Interval Space
We present Conchord, a system for real-time automatic generation of musical harmony through navigation in a novel 12-dimensional Tonal Interval Space. In this tonal space, Euclidean distances among multi-level pitch configurations equate with their perceptual proximity, and Euclidean distances of pitch configurations from the center of the space acts as an indicator of consonance. Building upon...
متن کاملThe Psychological Representation of Musical Pitch in a Tonal Context
In this series of experiments, evidence was found for a complex psychological representation of musical pitch. The results of a scaling study, in which subjects judged the similarities between pairs of tones presented in an explicitly tonal context, suggest that musical listeners extract a pattern of relationships among tones that is determined not only by pitch height and chroma, but also by m...
متن کاملA biological rationale for musical consonance.
The basis of musical consonance has been debated for centuries without resolution. Three interpretations have been considered: (i) that consonance derives from the mathematical simplicity of small integer ratios; (ii) that consonance derives from the physical absence of interference between harmonic spectra; and (iii) that consonance derives from the advantages of recognizing biological vocaliz...
متن کاملConsonance and pitch.
To date, no consensus exists in the literature as to theories of consonance and dissonance. Experimental data collected over the last century have raised questions about the dominant theories that are based on frequency relationships between the harmonics of music chords. This study provides experimental evidence that strongly challenges these theories and suggests a new theory of dissonance ba...
