Yes, they're posted in the hidden directory http://philomel.com/for_adriana. They were originally linked to a posting http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/science-technology/a-13-2007-08-08-voa23.htmlwhich accompanied a radio interview with Adriana Salerno for Voice of America (hence the name).
but the links to the sounds from the posting are not active at present.The sounds should be self-explanatory, particularly in association with the Voice of America text. But I'd be happy to answer any questions about them. I should mention that you need to use a good sound system, or else earphones - the effects can sound very degraded when played straight from computer using the internal speakers. The sounds include (not in this order) -
- a scale that ascends in pitch height by an octave without traversing the pitch class circle
- a segment from the test administered to the subjects - a looping ascending circular scale - a looping descending circular scale - a looping ascending gliss - a looping descending gliss Happy listening! Cheers, Diana On Mar 18, 2010, at 6:36 PM, Michael H. Coen wrote:
Diana, thank you for this reference! Do you happen to have any online samples corresponding to these sounds?
