In search of perceptual and acoustical correlates of polyphonic timbre
Polyphonic timbre refers to the overall timbre mixture of a music signal, or in simple words, the 'global sound' of any piece of music. It has been proven to be an important element for computational categorization according to genre, style, mood, and emotions, but its perceptual constituents have been less investigated. The aim of the study is to determine the most salient features of polyphonic timbre perception by investigating the descriptive auditory qualities of music and mapping acoustic features to these descriptors. Descriptors of monophonic timbre taken from previous literature were used as a starting point. Based on three pilot studies, eight scales were chosen for the actual experiment. Short musical excerpts from Indian popular music were rated on these scales. Relatively high agreement between the participants’ ratings was observed. A factor analysis of the scales suggested three perceptual dimensions. Acoustic descriptors were computationally extracted from each stimulus using signal processing and correlated with the perceptual dimensions. The present findings imply that there may be regularities and patterns in the way people perceive polyphonic timbre. Furthermore, most of the descriptors can be predicted relatively well by the acoustical features of the music. Finally the results suggest that spectrotemporal modulations are most relevant in the perception of polyphonic timbre.

Effect of Enculturation on the Semantic and Acoustic Correlates of Polyphonic Timbre
Alluri, Vinoo; Toiviainen, Petri (University of California Press, 2012)Polyphonic timbre perception was investigated in a cross-cultural context wherein Indian and Western nonmusicians rated short Indian and Western popular music excerpts (1.5 s, n = 200) on eight bipolar scales. Intrinsic ... -
Physiological Measures Regress onto Acoustic and Perceptual Features of Soundscapes
Lindborg, PerMagnus (University of Jyväskylä, Department of Music, 2013)There is no exact model for the relationship between the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and evoked or perceived emotion. Music has long been a privileged field for exploration, while the contribution of soundscape research ... -
Developing and testing sub-band spectral features in music genre and music mood machine learning
Prezja, Fabi (2018)In the field of artificial intelligence, supervised machine learning enables us to try to develop automatic recognition systems. In music information retrieval, training and testing such systems is possible with a variety ... -
Testing a spectral-based feature set for audio genre classification
Hartmann, Martín Ariel (2011)Automatic musical genre classification is an important information retrieval task since it can be applied for practical purposes such as the organization of data collections in the digital music industry. However, this ...
