List of approaches to musical tuning: Difference between revisions

Line 37:

The following approaches describe the subjective exploration process or its representations rather than its objective, audible result:

* [[Contextual Xenharmonics]]

* [[Contextual Xenharmonics]]: The exploration of why things sound the way they do to some and not others.

* [[Empirical]]: ~~This is a~~ form of hands-on field research as opposed to a form of acoustical or scale engineering, where tunings are specifically derived from listening and playing experiments carried out in the pitch continuum.

* [[Empirical]]: A form of hands-on field research as opposed to a form of acoustical or scale engineering, where tunings are specifically derived from listening and playing experiments carried out in the pitch continuum.

* [[Pretty Pictures]] that represent scales in one way or another

* [[Pretty Pictures]] that represent scales in one way or another.

* [[Musical notation]] (pretty pictures for the purpose of writing music down)

** [[Musical notation]] (pretty pictures for the purpose of writing music down)

* [[Nominal-Accidental Chains]] A common approach to notation

*** [[Nominal-Accidental Chains]] A common approach to notation

* The notion of a [[Scalesmith]] who ''builds'' scales, with various methods, perhaps for single occasions

* The notion of a [[Scalesmith]] who ''builds'' scales, with various methods, perhaps for single occasions.

** Mathematically based scales

** Acoustically-based scales (resonant frequencies of performance space, for example)
