- The result of a 6-year investigation, Timbre is the first monograph to investigate what has been a key problem in musicology, music practice, and music philosophy: the definition and intellectual approach to the musical quality known as “tone colour”. The book engages with a comprehensive range of source material including organology, (psycho)acoustics, neurophysics, ecology, music history, music philosophy, aesthetics, and new materialism. With its interdisciplinary methodology and musical examples ranging from medieval polyphony to contemporary industrial music, the book addresses significant themes for historical, popular, and philosophical musicology alike.
