This is a unique book on the mathematics of signals written for hearing-science researchers. Designed to follow an introductory text on psychoacoustic, Signals, Sound, and Sensation takes the reader through the mathematics of signal processing from its beginnings in the Fourier transform to advanced topics in modulation, dispersion relations, minimum phase systems, sampled data, and nonlinear distortion. While the book is organized like an introductory engineering text on signals, the examples and exercises come from research on the perception of sound. A unique feature of the book is the con

Those notes show an example of a spiral pitch representation and discuss chromagrams (mapping complex wave forms to pitch classes) as well as other concepts. For a deeper look, check out the book Signals Sound and Sensation by William M. Hartmann.
on “Piano music visualized on a logarithmic spiral” ↗Thanks for the kinds words :-) Re: resources, really Google was my biggest resource as I was learning stuff. One book I really loved was "Signals, Sound, and Sensation" by William Hartmann which connected signal processing to human auditory processing -- I learned a ton from that book. For music notation, "Behind Bars" by Elaine Gould, which was super useful while building…
