The tools we have to precisely discuss sound kinda... suck. Ok, maybe that’s a bit much, but as a music theorist, it’s hard not to notice how underdeveloped our vocabulary is when it comes to what is arguably the single most important component of musical experience: The actual tones of the instruments that comprise songs. It seems like such an obvious thing, but it’s actually really difficult to do well. Why is that, and can we do better?
