Researchers have invented an algorithm that produces a real-time portamento effect, gliding a note at one pitch into a note of another pitch, between any two audio signals, such as a piano note ...

Science and music may seem like completely different fields, but they have a lot in common. In April, a research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. translated the ...

Below left: The figure shows how geometrical music theory represents four-note chord-types -- the collections of notes form a tetrahedron, with the colors indicating the spacing between the individual ...

A crucial link between mathematics and music is nicely illustrated by the Tonnetz, a geometric diagram representing the harmonic relationships between the notes of the musical scale. An early version ...

Children do better at math when music is a key part of their lessons, an analysis of almost 50 years of research on the topic has revealed. It is thought that music can make math more enjoyable, keep ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - In music, "portamento" is a term that's been used for hundreds of years, referring to the effect of gliding a note at one pitch into a note of a lower or higher pitch. But only ...
