== Frequency spectrum == | |||
Timbre encompasses many aspects, but the dimension which is the most relevant to xenharmonic music is the '''frequency spectrum'''. A sound can be broken down into [[partial]]s, a set of simpler (sinusoidal) sounds, each with different [[Frequency|frequencies]] and amplitudes, which compose the sound when played together. | |||
Several musicians have experimented with timbres specially selected or adapted to reinforce certain intervals, such as odd harmonics on a [[Bohlen-Pierce]] [[clarinet]]. | |||
