For example: 1 / 1 , 2 / 1 , 3 / 1 ,... or 1 / 1 , 1 / 2 , 1 / 3 ,.... An Otonality is that set of pitches generated by the numerical factors (...identities)...over a numerical constant (...numerary nexus) in the denominator. Conversely, a Utonality is the inversion of an Otonality, a set of pitches ...
Undertone series on C. [1] In music, the undertone series or subharmonic series is a sequence of notes that results from inverting the intervals of the overtone series.While overtones naturally occur with the physical production of music on instruments, undertones must be produced in unusual ways.
An ornamental tone following a principal tone by a skip up or down, usually of a third, and proceeding in the opposite direction by a step, not to be confused with changing tone. canon or kanon (Ger.) A theme that is repeated and imitated and built upon by other instruments with a time delay, creating a layered effect; see Pachelbel's Canon.
Analogy – the use of a similar or parallel case or example to reason or argue a point. Anaphora – a succession of sentences beginning with the same word or group of words. Anastrophe – inversion of the natural word order. Anecdote – a brief narrative describing an interesting or amusing event.
This objective structure is augmented by psychoacoustic phenomena. For example, a perfect fifth, say 200 and 300 Hz (cycles per second), causes a listener to perceive a combination tone of 100 Hz (the difference between 300 Hz and 200 Hz); that is, an octave below the lower (actual sounding) note. This 100 Hz first-order combination tone then ...
The Undertones, 1979 album by The Undertones; Northwestern Undertones, a cappella group at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, United States; From woodwind instruments: Undertones may emerge as the tone component(s) of a note's sound which are lower in pitch than the frequency of the note. Examples of woodwind undertones:
Examples of exceptions include the circular drum – a timpani whose first overtone is about 1.6 times its fundamental resonance frequency, [5] gongs and cymbals, and brass instruments. The human vocal tract is able to produce highly variable amplitudes of the overtones, called formants , which define different vowels .
An example in the article of undertones is a string vibrating against an obstacle. This is an example of a non-linear system (the paper, analagous to the diodes in a radio) intermittently and suddenly colliding with the periodic oscillator (the string), isn't it?
