Abstract
This paper explores Jack Douthett's model of dynamical voice leading on the level of harmonic states. It investigates global contiguous and stroboscopic dynamical systems on the entire state space and introduces a measure of effectiveness for the trajectories under consideration. Special attention is paid to the harmonic state spaces behind second-order Clough-Myerson scales, such as diatonic triads and seventh chords. Finally, a set of trajectories as a tiling of exemplifies the connection with the Spectral Conjecture.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Mathematics and Music aims to advance the use of mathematical modelling and computation in music theory. The Journal focuses on mathematical approaches to musical structures and processes, including mathematical investigations into music-theoretic or compositional issues as well as mathematically motivated analyses of musical works or performances. In consideration of the deep unsolved ontological and epistemological questions concerning knowledge about music, the Journal is open to a broad array of methodologies and topics, particularly those outside of established research fields such as acoustics, sound engineering, auditory perception, linguistics etc.
