Since their earliest explorations of African music, Western researchers have noted a fascination on the part of traditional musicians for noise as a timbral element.The authors present the results of perceptual and acoustic investigations of the fusion and "layeringn of noise and tone.These results have implications for pitch and timbre in both traditional and non-traditional, acoustic and synthesized music.The results define possible perceptual relations between noise and tone and reveal that the construction of noise devices should follow relatively precise acoustic rules involving the frequency, the bandwidth and the level of the noise relative to those of the tone.The results also exemplify the fusion of SOUNDING THE MIND The Fusion and Layering of Noise and Tone: Implicatons f or Timbre i n African Instruments
