Role of the golden ratio in perceiving humanness by randomly generated tones. An empirical study

Summary/Abstract: Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio have been employed in the domain of the Fine Arts since antiquity. At the verge of the new century they still persist in the written music, however, the way they are treated is transformed – from ideal proportion for perfection towards a speculative demonstration or an ubiquitous principle of governing the structural elements of a piece. However, in this paper an attempt to exclude the composer from the musical sound and meanwhile to keep the golden ratio is being made. This results in a generative paradigm for sound which sets its focus on researching a way to generate via a computer programme, which employs randomly generated tones a very important quality of the sound – the feeling of humanness. The described paradigm may enable researchers to further investigate whether the golden ratio contributes to the existence or lack of this feeling.
