Time-Frequency Analysis of Musical Rhythm

                              Music is the language of our souls.

This page contains supporting materials for the article, Time-frequency analysis of musical rhythm.   It contains sound files for all the examples discussed in the article, software (such as FAWAV) used for analyzing and producing these examples, a linking page to the references for the paper, video demonstrations, and a document that provides further details on using the software (which for reasons of space were omitted from the article).  Click on the links below to obtain these materials.

Document on Using FAWAV and Audacity

Note:   The software Fawav  contains a tracing feature for spectrograms and scalograms (select Graph/Audio from the spectrogram or scalogram menu).   One example of this feature is that it illustrates perfectly the correlation between the objective percussion scalogram discussed in the paper and the perceived sound of the corresponding percussion passage.
The video demonstrations were created using this software, but you don't need it to view them.  They should run fine within most web browsers.
