This book addresses the acoustic signal analysis and spectral
dynamics of the tanpura, an Indian plucked string instrument. In
addition, it strives to provide a logical and objective explanation
of Indian classical musicians' cognitive experience. Issues of
relevance in this regard include the rich, mellifluous sound; the
undulation of the loudness; the somewhat cyclical variation of the
timbre, which is strongly related to these undulations; and the
occasional perception of virtual notes to which no strings are
tuned. The book analyses the materials used in the tanpura, the
instrument's simple structure, the intricacies of the lower bridge,
and the theory of string vibration with variable string length.
Cognitive experiments to provide the basis for perceptual quality
assessment, as well as a methodology for ranking, are described.
This is followed by acoustic analyses, both temporal and spectral,
for sounds produced by male and female tanpuras, for each
individual string and the combined one. An important aspect related
to the naturalness of perceived sound, namely the intrinsically
associated random perturbations, is also discussed. The apparent
irregularities perceived in the acoustic signal produced by the
tanpura reveal the importance of examining the signal from the
perspective of non-linear analysis, an aspect that is also covered
in the book. Given its scope, the book will appeal to students and
researchers in the fields of music acoustics, artificial
intelligence, and cognitive science, as well as musicians and
musicologists around the world.
