Week 8 Listening Lab: Find the shifted line
Design reference cues that make two emission spectra comparable by ear.
Listening Lab 08
27 September 2027
Leave with
a paired-spectrum listening test
Before the lab#
Bring two small spectra that share at least one identifiable line.
In the lab#
Create alternating and simultaneous versions. Add an axis landmark, test line
identification with peers and record where musical interval expectations cause
confusion.
Leave with#
A 60-second comparison, accessible transcript and evidence for the mapping you
will critique.
The spec
What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
- wavelength and flux transformations are documented
- the reference cue does not obscure the measured lines
- listeners answer a defined comparison question
