Which sounds can be called “notes”, and used to create music? This exhibit is an experimental platform to explore the characteristics of sound and scales.
We can hear a wide range of sound frequencies, but we don’t use them all to make music. We select some discrete set of them as our notes to form what we call a scale. We try to build scales in such a way that combinations of notes on the scale are harmonious and can be played together. Scale Lab allows you to explore, measure, create and modify both individual sounds and musical scales. This exhibit covers the fundamentals of sound, perception of consonance and dissonance and the creation of scales from single tones.
Ni sauti zipi zinazoweza kuitwa "noti", na kutumiwa kutengeneza muziki? Maonyesho haya ni jukwaa la majaribio ya kuchunguza sifa za sauti na mizani. Tunaweza kusikia masafa mbalimbali ya sauti, lakini hatutumii yote ili kutengeneza muziki. Sisi kuchagua baadhi ya seti tofauti ya yao kama maelezo yetu kuunda kile tunachoita kiwango. Tunatumia njia ya muziki ili kuunganisha noti mbalimbali kwa njia inayofaa na kuweza kuchezwa pamoja. Scale Lab inaruhusu kuchunguza, kupima, kuunda na kurekebisha wote sauti ya mtu binafsi na mizani ya muziki. Maonyesho haya inashughulikia misingi ya sauti, utambuzi wa consonance na dissonance na uundaji wa mizani kutoka sauti moja.
