MUMT 615: Melodic Tension Experiment

An experiment on melodic tension, implemented with jsPsych.

Abstract

During the course MUMT 615: Perception of Compositional Structures, we designed an experiment on melodic tension.

I participated developing the code of the experiment. Erica Huynh designed the experiment and wrote the paper, and Timothy Ledger composed the musical examples.

The experiment was implemented using the jsPsych library.

The live experiment website is available here.

The source code of the experiment is available in a GitHub repository.

The paper with our results is available here.
