Timbral Hierarchy Dataset

This dataset contains data generated as part of the AudioCommons project (DS 5.1.1). Data relate to Deliverable D5.1 which: (i) generated a hierarchy of terms describing the timbral attributes of audio; (ii) determined the search frequency for each of these terms on the www.freesound.org audio database.

Data comprise excel and csv files, Python code, figures and documentation.

This research made use of data from Deliverable D2.1
