Dr Andrew J. Milne is Associate Professor of Music Cognition & Computation, MARCS Institute and School of Humanities and Communication Arts, Western Sydney University, Australia.
His research includes
- cross-cultural music cognition
- cognition of familiar and unfamiliar (microtonal) melody, harmony, and tonality
- cognitive mechanisms and mathematical models related to the perception, performance, and algorithmic generation of scales and rhythms
- developing new musical interfaces in creative, public art, therapeutic, and educational settings (see https://www.dynamictonality.com).
Some of his peer-reviewed articles where microtonality or pitch layouts are a significant component are listed below (articles on other topics such as rhythmic structures and their perception, and music for well-being and education, can be accessed from GoogleScholar and ResearchGate):
