Guitar Decomposed: 5. Mutating the Third

William Sethare has done a good amount of research into adaptatively tuning music so that the intervals are always simple ratios. You can find some examples of this here : https://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/html/soundexamples.html

Unfortunately some sound examples are missing but a few of them are still online.

I'm not seeing any dead links there? That page has always been a listing of the mp3 files on the physical CD that comes with his book, only some of which were ever put online.

BTW, Sethares' research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Sethares goes way beyond tuning music to simple ratios. His whole book is about working with a model of sounds being "in tune" with one another that doesn't just boil down to that.

A bunch of the examples lead to a 404. Also his research is really mind blowing stuff, I was in disbelief when I heard the first few examples.

"Three Ears" looks like the one most relevant to this discussion and is luckily still there.
