Abstract
The commentary by Cross and Rohrmeier (2007) attempts to locate our
paper (Bailes and Dean, 2007a) as a study of timbre, and points out the ongoing
development of research in this area, including attempts to define psychoacoustic
thresholds of perception. However, our work is directed to understanding broader
psychological phenomena such as the impact of sound duration on the perception of
structure in computer music, and the concordance between real-time and retrospective
measures. We discuss further our identification of an asymmetrical detection of sound
segmentation, questioning the conceptual distinctions of timbre perception that Cross
and Rohrmeier propose.
