“When we talk to musicians and producers, it becomes clear that they simply adjust sounds automatically in order to get the right timing – it's a form of implicit knowledge,” says Câmara. Few, however, are aware of what they actually do in order to make it sound right.
They know there are some basic rules relating to sound and timing which most creators of music comply with. Together with her research colleague Guilherme Schmidt Câmara, she is looking for answers to what these details are. “It is very important for our overall impression of music that the details are right,” says musicologist Anne Danielsen at the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion at the University of Oslo. “Scientists have previously assumed that we perceive the timing at the beginning of a sound but have not reflected critically on what happens when the sounds have different shapes,” says musicologist Anne Danielsen.
