This interdisciplinary project at the University of Warwick explored the ways in which timbre could be visualised, using matrix processes on a sinusoidal decomposition (in this case the result of short term and discrete fourier transforms).
Note: This method is an extremely long-winded one, and could be mostly replaced by the utilisation of an uncooked output from fiddle~ (http://vud.org/max/)
This is an old project, and as such, I’m struggling to find abstractions for the projects mentioned. I may make an updated version, which I will post here. For now, here is a demo of spectral combination, a precursor to the midi combination found in the following post.
This was mentioned in the following paper:
