| Research Abstract |
In order to represent, communicate and preserve artistic computer music, it is necessary to symbolize timbre. Firstly perceptive characteristics are studied for general environmental sounds by psycho-acoustic experiments. Both IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) and "hiragana" were used as timbre symbols. The clarified facts from the experiments includes that the variance normalized by the number of symbols from median strings for one timbre written in "hiragana" largely varies from 0.27 to 4.54. We have also been developing "Electronic Timbre Dictionary" which enables timbre search from timbre symbol as a supporting system for a computer musicians. In this term, functions of cross platform for MacOS, Windows and linux, and multilingualization were realized. Moreover, the system was open to general users and available via network.
