Time, Sound, and Musical Experience
Additional Material on KronoScope 25(2), 2025 (Special Issue)
Time isn’t the main thing. It’s the only thing.
Miles Davis
Musicians from many genres have repeatedly emphasised the importance of time, even claiming that music is the very art of time. The special issue “Time, Sound, and Musical Experience” of KronoScope corroborates these claims from the perspective of various practitioners to highlight some of the multiple scales and contexts of time and timing in music, and to also put them into wider experiential and conceptual contexts.
Here you will find additional material (texts, sheet music, audio files …) from the authors who contributed to this special issue:
- Recognising temporal pattern: hearing as a perception of time
- From a click to a tone: hearing as a perception of time
- From noise to pitch: iterated rippled noise
- Repeated cycles: pitch saliency
- Context dependence of pitch: melodies from Shepard tones
- Integration and separation of auditory streams: auditory bistability with fixed interval
- Integration and separation of auditory streams II: auditory bistability with variable interval
- Continuity illusion: song, interrupted by silence and noise
- Difference between analytic and synthetic listening
