I have a chapter in a new monograph that brings together perspectives on using computational tools to understand and analyse music. Titled 'Of Acoustics and Aesthetics: Analysing Vocal Timbre in the Hindustani Khayal', my paper uses spectrographic analysis and new insights from the fields of voice science and psychoacoustics to develop a nuanced perspective on the vocal timbres of some iconic Hindustani vocalists.
The monograph, brought out collaboratively by the IITs of Bombay, Madras and Dharwad, under the aegis of the Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration (SPARC) is available at the link below
Many thanks to Dr. Preeti Rao and Dr. Hema Murthy for this opportunity
