Abstract

The main objective of this study is to understand how timbre semantic associations—for example, a sound’s timbre perceived as bright, rough, or hollow—vary with register and pitch height across instruments. In this experiment, 540 online participants rated single, sustained notes from eight Western orchestral instruments (flute, oboe, bass clarinet, trumpet, trombone, violin, cello, and vibraphone) across three registers (low, medium, and high) on 20 semantic scales derived from Reymore and Huron (2020). The 24 two-second stimuli, equalized in loudness, were produced using the Vienna Symphonic Library. Exploratory modeling examined relationships between mean ratings of each semantic dimension and instrument, register, and participant musician identity (“musician” vs. “nonmusician”). For most semantic descriptors, both register and instrument were significant predictors, though the amount of variance explained differed (marginal R2). Terms that had the strongest positive relationships with register include shrill/harsh/noisy, sparkling/brilliant/bright, ringing/long decay, and percussive. Terms with the strongest negative relationships with register include deep/thick/heavy, raspy/grainy/gravelly, hollow, and woody. Post hoc modeling using only pitch height and only register to predict mean semantic rating suggests that pitch height may explain more variance than does register. Results help clarify the influence of both instrument and relative register (and pitch height) on common timbre semantic associations.
音色语义关联在乐器之间和乐器内部都是不同的
这项研究的主要目的是了解音色语义关联——例如,一个声音的音色被感知为明亮、粗糙或空洞——是如何随着音域和乐器的音高而变化的。在这项实验中,540名在线参与者对8种西方管弦乐乐器(长笛、双簧管、低音单簧管、小号、长号、小提琴、大提琴和颤音琴)在三个音域(低、中、高)上的单个持续音符进行评分,这些音符来自Reymore和Huron(2020)的20个语义尺度。24个两秒钟的刺激,响度相等,是用维也纳交响图书馆制作的。探索性建模检查了每个语义维度的平均评分与乐器、音域和参与者音乐家身份(“音乐家”与“非音乐家”)之间的关系。对于大多数语义描述符,寄存器和仪器都是显著的预测因子,尽管解释的方差量不同(边际R2)。与语域关系最密切的词包括尖锐的/刺耳的/嘈杂的,闪亮的/灿烂的/明亮的,响的/长衰减的和打击的。与音域负相关最强烈的词包括深沉/厚重/沉重、刺耳/颗粒状/沙砾状、中空和木质。事后建模仅使用音高和仅注册来预测平均语义评级表明,音高可能比注册解释更多的方差。结果有助于澄清乐器和相对音域(和音高)对共同音色语义关联的影响。
