Toward Construction of a Timbre Theory for Music Composition
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the 20 century, timbre has become an important factor in music composition. However, no effective timbre theory for music composition has been yet developed. In this paper, firstly standpoints are described for previous timbre theories. Then the requirements for a new timbre theory are discussed: 1) How timbre should be categorized, 2) hierarchical structure and its self-similar representation, 3) extension of previous timbre (music) representation, 4) discrimination of embedded and exposed structure, and 5) definition of operation and grammatical

متن کاملTimbre Synthesis Technology and its Application to Computer Music Compositions
This paper introduces the timbre synthesis technologies developed so far from the standpoint of composers. That is, the classification is based upon musical function. It also introduces major compositions in which new timbres synthesized by those technologies form the main structural core. Timbre synthesis technologies referred to here are granular synthesis, morphing and sound hybridization, w...
