Distortion’s physical and psychological influences on playability and composition within rock music • research data: original and experimental recordings of rock music riffs and solos • mixed-methods approach: o musicological analysis of musical structure o quantitative analysis of spectral (FFT plots) and dynamic (envelope curve, wave form) sound aspects o qualitative analysis (spectrograms) of the influence of distortion level on playability and expressiveness o psychoacoustic correlation of structural, tonal and perceptual aspects o physical aspects of frequency and dynamics 2. 3. Distortion’s relevance for rock music’s aesthetics • discourse analysis of pop and rock aesthetics and its historical development • musical and production-oriented standards • pragmatic, musical, cultural, psychological reasons for rock guitars’ sound and use of distortion Survey of amateur and professional guitarists on their use of distortion • quantitative survey of amateur musicians • qualitative survey of professional musicians • methods and data triangulation (qualitative content analysis and statistics) A current extension of the monograph is a project that investigates the influence of distortion on the perception of chord structures played by the electric guitar. This research follows a multi-methods approach: qualitative spectrographic analysis, statistical evaluation of psychoacoustic data extracted by music information retrieval software, and listening experiment. One article, so far, has already been submitted to the peer-reviewed journal Musicae Scientiae, another will soon be submitted to Psychology of Music.
