Hearing time freely: some theoretical and practical approaches to rhythmic heterarchy.



You may want to use this outline to navigate to particular sections according to your knowledge and interests. It mirrors the links on the left, with added detail. Roman numerals below match the menu's white-on-blue headings.

I. Overview: the tenets of the argument in 'broad brush-strokes'.

  1. Outline [YOU ARE HERE!] and Preface
  2. Overview of terms: four main interacting categories of inquiry
  3. Conjunctions and synthesis of terms: how the categories interact
  4. Basic examples: sounds and images to hint at the overall product of the inquiry

II. Terms and basic inquiries

Ratio Properties
  1. Azimuth (= the disparity between the parts of a ratio): parts 1 & 2.
  2. Complexity (= a ratio's (hypothetical) inhibition of pulse-perception): A, B, & C
  3. Gravity (the perceptual interaction azimuth and complexity)

Complexity re-structured and re-oriented:

some ways that 'unpulsedness' and 'pulsedness' emerge in perception

III. Conjunctions / Synthesis

Re-orienting ratio properties: metric and motivic orientations to complexity and azimuth
Re-structuring ratio properties: complexity and azimuth in structural context

Re-orienting structures of exposure: diachronic and synchronic implications of stream segregation

IV. Grammars

Pulsed and unpulsed modulations
