Dear all,
On 12 & 13 January 2017 an interdisciplinary workshop on timbre was successfully held at the Berlin Musical Instrument Museum.
The scientific program was structured around four themes: Cognitive Mechanisms of Timbre; Timbre Perception in Musical Contexts; Concepts, Semantics, and History of Timbre; and Acoustic Modeling of Timbre. Each theme was introduced by a keynote address, followed by a session with invited speakers. A panel discussion at the end of the second day considered challenging issues of great interest across the workshop participants.
We are pleased to announce that videos of the keynotes and invited contributions are now available on
the website of the workshop http://www.timbre2017.tu-berlin.de/ (videos can be accessed by clicking on the camera icon next to individual talk titles) and
the Audio Communication Group’s YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9-WvglIK10jCMN3uEs4L7_aIt6B6GV1g.
It is hoped that the videos will provide a useful resource to the community.
The organizers:
