Computational techniques applied to musical consonance and dissonance

Author: Shayenne da Luz Moura

Advisor: Marcelo Queiroz

This undergraduate research aims to explore the concepts of consonance and dissonance in music and develop a validation experiment of the theory presented in Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale by William A. Sethares.

The work aims to study and present the theory developed by Sethares, building perceptual experiments to test the correspondence between objective measures that he proposes and “intuitive” understanding that the subjects of the experiment have about this concept.
