Supplemental data from the PhD thesis: Timbral transformation in contemporary music: event generation, perception thresholds and mixing preferences
  • Description

    This series of experiments is explicitly focused on listeners’ ability to detect change in timbre or sound, rather than differentiating different sounds or sound identities from one another.

    The dataset includes auditory stimuli from the experiments, example sounds of experiment results, R and Matlab code for the utilised data analysis, MaxMSP code for running the experiments and a soundfile for the experimental result of research-led practice.

    Available downloads:
