about

Pitch and tone scale organization is one of the many interesting musical parameters, but it is foremost the oldest one that has been studied. In ancient Greece, several scientist/philosophers searched for the intimacies of sound and its sympathic vibrations. Using a monochord, Pythagoras revealed the intervallic ratios for his tuning system that was used for ages. It was the beginning of an adventure between mathematical and physical theories versus sounding realities and musicality, where people enigmatically spoke about commas, wolf tones, theory of affects and temperaments.

In Western music, music theory developed gradually towards an equal temperament, with some exceptions by experimental composers.

In non-Western classical music however, many alternative tuning systems that use specific intervals such as quartertones have been described.

Ethnic music offers a unique environment of characteristical timbres, rhythms and textures that need adapted or completely new, innovative tools. The potential of computational research within the context of ethnic music has been stressed by the introduction of the term Computational Ethnomusicology. Hopefully this new interdisciplinary (sub)field can give an impulse to the study and dissemination of a rich heritage of music that is now hidden in archives and aid or even stimulate new musicological field work.
