Anycase, the notion of timbre is absolutely confuse, as Schaeffer
pointed out about 40 years ago, individutaing at least two main
acceptions. For what is concerning the qualitative aspects of sounds,
old Pierre started with seven criteria, one of which is timbre
armonique.
"Grain" et "rugosité", of which Grisey speaks a lot, could not be
easily grasped through frequency domain representation, but better (as
Xenakis pointed out) through time domain representation.
