This is very interesting to me. A while back I was fascinated with the concept of absolute pitch (some people have a qualitatively different, categorical perception of pitch) and did quite a bit of research on the topic. One resource that I invite anyone that is interested to read is the research done by this guy:
http://aruffo.com/eartraining/ http://aruffo.com/eartraining/
Ignore the fact that he has a "learn AP here!" link - usually that is a signal that it's a scam of some kind, but in this case he has quite a bit of interesting material to back his theories if you go to "AP Research".
- losvedir 13y agoWow, now that's a blast from the past! Never really thought I'd see this on HN. I heartily recommend Chris Aruffo's work, as well. All the stuff in Research Phases 1-17 in "AP Research" is really quite fascinating and well cited. I hung on every new post as they came and was convinced that by the end of it he'd have acquired perfect pitch, but alas 10 years later it seems it was not to be. Still an interesting read, though.
