  2. Harmonic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic

    In physics, acoustics, and telecommunications, a harmonic is a sinusoidal wave with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of a periodic signal. The fundamental frequency is also called the 1st harmonic; the other harmonics are known as higher harmonics.

  3. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

    The fourth harmonic vibrates at four times the frequency of the fundamental and sounds a perfect fourth above the third harmonic (two octaves above the fundamental). Double the harmonic number means double the frequency (which sounds an octave higher). An illustration in musical notation of the harmonic series (on C) up to the 20th harmonic.

  4. Harmony - Wikipedia

    Therefore, it is sometimes seen as a type of harmonic understanding, and sometimes distinguished from harmony. [6] Typically, in the classical common practice period, a dissonant chord (chord with tension) "resolves" to a consonant chord. Harmonization usually sounds pleasant when there is a balance between consonance and dissonance.

    Harmonic flat Lowers the pitch of a note to a pitch matching the indicated number in the harmonic series of the root (bottom) of the chord. The diagram shows a specific example, the septimal flat , in the context of a septimal minor third , in which the E ♭ is tuned exactly to a 7:6 frequency ratio with the root (C).

  6. String harmonic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_harmonic

    A pinch harmonic (also known as squelch picking, pick harmonic or squealy) is a guitar technique to achieve artificial harmonics in which the player's thumb or index finger on the picking hand slightly catches the string after it is picked, [10] canceling (silencing) the fundamental frequency of the string, and letting one of the overtones ...

  7. Fundamental frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_frequency

    A harmonic is any member of the harmonic series, an ideal set of frequencies that are positive integer multiples of a common fundamental frequency. The reason a fundamental is also considered a harmonic is because it is 1 times itself. [11] The fundamental is the frequency at which the entire wave vibrates.

  8. The Overdue, Under-Told Story Of The Clitoris

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/projects/cliteracy

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  9. Harmonic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_spectrum

    A harmonic spectrum is a spectrum containing only frequency components whose frequencies are whole number multiples of the fundamental frequency; such frequencies are known as harmonics. "The individual partials are not heard separately but are blended together by the ear into a single tone."
