Musical Sound: A Mathematical Approach To Timbre, Timothy Weiss (Class Of 2016)
Writing Across the Curriculum
What is the mathematical reasoning behind the ear’s ability to distinguish two completely different musical sounds? In answering this question, one must call to mind a fundamental term with regards to music: timbre.

Multi-Point Nonlinear Spatial Distribution Of Effects Across The Soundfield, Stuart James
Multi-Point Nonlinear Spatial Distribution Of Effects Across The Soundfield, Stuart James
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
This paper outlines a method of applying non-linear processing and effects to multi-point spatial distributions of sound spectra. The technique is based on previous research by the author on non-linear spatial distributions of spectra, that is, timbre spatialisation in the frequency domain. One of the primary applications here is the further elaboration of timbre spatialisation in the frequency domain to account for distance cues incorporating loudness attenuation, reverb, and filtration. Further to this, the same approach may also give rise to more non-linear distributions of processing and effects across multi-point spatial distributions such as audio distortions and harmonic exciters, delays, …
