Active or Envisioned Projects
CORE Timbre semantics: Explores how composers and performers in the COREs conceptualize timbre semantics (related areas: orchestration pedagogy, creation, ethnography, qualitative analysis; project leads: Roger Reynolds, Jason Noble, Caroline Traube)
Mapping the semantics of timbre across pitch registers: Large online perceptual study supported by ACTOR Strategic Initiatives funding exploring the semantic correlates of orchestral timbres, including CORE instruments, across registration (related areas: perceptual research axis; project leads: Lindsey Reymore and Jason Noble)
Acoustical correlates of timbre semantics across pitch registers: Acoustical analysis of perceptual dataset above (related areas: acoustics; project lead: Charis Saitis).
Timbre synthesis in response to semantic prompts: Developing an app that will enable participants to produce digital timbres and sound textures to embody or express given semantic associations. Online experiment to follow. (related areas: sound synthesis, interactivity; project leads: Jason Noble and Zachary Wallmark)
Dialect-based composition: Using formant-based acoustical analysis of guitar timbres to evoke analogies with spoken vowels, applied in compositions drawing on source material from the dialects of Newfoundland and Québec. (related areas: acoustical analysis, dialectology; project leads: Jason Noble and Caroline Traube)
