I have a chapter in a new monograph that brings together perspectives on using computational tools to understand and analyse music. Titled 'Of Acoustics and Aesthetics: Analysing Vocal Timbre in the Hindustani Khayal', my paper uses spectrographic analysis and new insights from the fields of voice science and psychoacoustics to develop a nuanced perspective on the vocal timbres of some iconic Hindustani vocalists.
