[PD-ot] perception of synthesized timbre

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

So I am currently doing some research into the perception of  
synthesized timbre to try to find out whether there are differences in  
the perception of timbre in music that is based on synthesized sound,  
and what those differences are.  There has been quite a bit of research  
into the perception of timbre, and the timbre space of traditional  
western musical instruments (Wessel, Grey, Gordon, Risset, etc.)  but I  
was wondering whether anyone knows about any research into the  
perception of timbre in synthesized music and sound, and perception of  
timbre in other musical systems besides the western music tradition.

My specific interest in synthesized timbre, but I am also interested  
non-western timbre perception.  Ideally, I could find a timbre space  
representation like Wessel or Grey/Gordon, but derived from other  
sources.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the  
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of  
it."
