Dynamic Sonance
The ability to control tuning and timbre together does not preclude their independent control. For example, the one can independently control sonance -- i.e., the degree of a timbre's alignment with the current tuning—in real time. Using dynamic sonance, one can (for example) shift the tonic triad from consonance to dissonance and back, or the tritone from dissonant to consonant and back, as a means of controlling tension and relief.

Famous quotes containing the word dynamic:
“We Americans have the chance to become someday a nation in which all radical stocks and classes can exist in their own selfhoods, but meet on a basis of respect and equality and live together, socially, economically, and politically. We can become a dynamic equilibrium, a harmony of many different elements, in which the whole will be greater than all its parts and greater than any society the world has seen before. It can still happen.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
