A leading Psychoacoustician wrote "I had a look at "Harmonic Entropy" and was immediately put off by the idea that intervals are frequency ratios (which ratio?...
Hello. For chords such as 3:7:10, and 4:6:10, where the difference tones land on the chord tones (ie, 10-7=3, 10-6-4; Helmholtz commented on these, and I like...
hi Paul (for when you come back), or others. I can't locate the old thread, but thanks for suggesting the above spelling for the chord d4- f#-b4-E5. I don't...
Hello Harmonic Entropy List. 5:16:21:25, ...another chord which, I think, sounds interesting and unique, and which has an interesting number feature. Among...
Dave (if you are out there), or Paul (if you might know): Why the second derivative of the "Harmonic Entropy" function? What special significance is associated...
Manuel, Paul, etc. Thanks, I may be contacting you personally if I can't find the relevant posts or understand them. I've been experimenting with the Tonicity...
hello harmonic entropy list. Reading Helmholtz, and reviewing where the semitone clashes occur in the partials of various intervals, does anyone know if the...
Hello. Referring back to Yahya's and Paul's comments (mssgs 840 and 843) about the mathematical impossibitity of a note in a chord representing two numbers...
Considering two spellings of the chord e4-Bb4-f5 (great chord: tonic, dominant, and subdominant combined!), the spellings being 7-10-15, or 10-14-21 They seem...
I'm sure you've noticed that a four-note train whistle is approximately a minor seventh chord (something like e3-g3-b3-d4. Please don't ask me how it's tuned!...
Where would the chord C1-E1-A1-D2 lie in the harmonic series? (The only ones I can find involve 13 or a multiple thereof. Is it one of those?) Thanks, Kelly...
Assuming there's some relavence in how other sense systems operate... I see an anology between the fusion of partials into a fundamental pitch, and why the sky...
On an earlier post (sorry I can't find it; it takes forever to search on my slow dial up connection), discussing this chord, it was mentioned that harmonics...

(BTW, I apologize for my insulting behavior towards Monz on the other list last month, and hope I can still participate here.) I should probably prepare my...
Hello traktus5 and group, although mostly a silent reader in this group, (which long ago I could not get interested in the analogy between the stochastic...
Hello! One of the things I'm getting out of this acoustic study is, in a piano piece I'm writing, attention to the dynamic of each note in a chord, to enhance...
Just saw a post from 2001 (when I wasn't on the lists) about 11:9 having lower entropy than 8:5 with very large s. The thread apparently started here... ...
Ok, I stumbled across this group by accident, but it seems extremely similar to stuff I've been trying myself (although I hadn't done any research into this...
Hi Paul! In Monz' c. 1997 interview with you about harmonic entropy, where you wrote that it is "unclear how to weigh the various subsets' contributrions to...
Hi I have read the harmonic entropy model and seen some pics in the group file folder . I have a question ; 1- How can I calculate the dissonance of...
Hello. I noticed that in the chord 5:6:9, both its simple and cubic difference tones are exactly the same (1,3,4). I haven't found this feature in any other...
Hello. Regarding the chord 3-8-10-15 just mentioned, where you have two pairs of equivalent difference tones (10-3, 15-8 =7; 8-3, 15-10 = 5), which I guess...
