I have a somewhat bizarre question, I don't really understand this musical concepts and I think that some Electrical engineering could help in this case, especially with the analytic phase.
Assuming that you are considering the music as an electric signal, and you have to define the properties and the values that this hypothetical electrical signals must offer :
- what is an harmonics ? For example when you play a single note on a piano and you press 1 key, the other keys/strings around that key vibrate and create something that you hear as 1 single note but in reality it's something composed of multiple harmonics. What is the parallel that works in Electrical engineering ?
- what is an Accordion ?
- also if you have a note that is standardized and defined to be at X Hz, this means that you have X bandwidth ? What goes and fits in that bandwidth ? It means that if a note plays at 50Hz from a string I can get noise and additional harmonics from 0 to 50Hz only from that string ? This is like having an engine producing AC at 50Hz that can spike sometimes or that needs to "clean" its own output ?
According to my intentions I would like to compare this concepts to something practical and maybe some working components like a transformer, a resistance, a capacitor, use whatever you want that fits the explanation.
I would like to know how things look like, what properties are expressed and in case of diagrams and pictures what is the domain on the x axis and the domain on the y.
