In search of musical fitness on consonance
نویسنده
چکیده
After the generation of a sample of musical compositions, the rules which gave birth to these groups of compositions have been codified into a genetic code and these families, which had the capability of adapting to the environment and to reproduce themselves have been selected. The fitness the authors were in search for was about musical consonance. In this paper we present some results which could prove interesting in defining consonance/dissonance, operated automatically on musical compositions.

Functional organization for musical consonance and tonal pitch hierarchy in human auditory cortex
Pitch relationships in music are characterized by their degree of consonance, a hierarchical perceptual quality that distinguishes how pleasant musical chords/intervals sound to the ear. The origins of consonance have been debated since the ancient Greeks. To elucidate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these musical fundamentals, we recorded neuroelectric brain activity while participan...
متن کاملTonal consonance parameters link microscopic and macroscopic properties of music exposing a hidden order in melody
Consonance is related to the perception of pleasantness arising from a combination of sounds and has been approached quantitatively using mathematical relations, physics, information theory, and psychoacoustics. Tonal consonance is present in timbre, musical tuning, harmony, and melody, and it is used for conveying sensations, perceptions, and emotions in music. It involves the physical propert...

A recent study suggests that musical consonance is based on harmonicity, a preference that reflects the central role of harmonicity in auditory perception.
متن کاملNon Linear Assessment of Musical Consonance
The position of intervals and the degree of musical consonance can be objectively explained by temporal series formed by mixing two pure sounds covering an octave. This result is achieved by means of Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) without considering neither overtones nor physiological hypotheses. The obtained prediction of a consonance can be considered a novel solution to Galileo’s ...

This paper explores the concepts of metrical consonance and dissonance in a broad and yet articulate way. Krebs first gives a brief review of previously studies. He then extends the definition by Yeston to combine the concepts of levels of motion and musical meter to define metrical consonance and dissonance. Another modification of Yeston’s work is extending the applicable range of dissonance ...
