Cashmere Guest Mixes SoundCube: on timbre w/ Frau Fisch 25.02.2026

Together with artist and musician @frau.fisch, this episode reflects on timbre, perception, and listening beyond recognition.

We often rely on recognition when we listen — identifying instruments and locating where sound seems to come from.

While pitch and rhythm are relatively easy to understand, the use of the term timbre in contemporary music feels more complex. Recognizing the sound of an instrument can help us become familiar with a piece, but in the age of computer-based music, the limits of identifying sound purely by ear become more apparent.
