% LISTEN CAREFULLY AND ENJOY!
%
% Just run this script with the huggins.m in the same directory or in your
% path.  This is a cool litle demo to show how huggins binaural pitch can
% be made into chords. Thanks to James Humes on matlabcentral for inspiring
% me to do this to the mario theme song . . man - this is probably the most
% tragic way I have ever spent a Friday night.
%
% This demo only uses the alto and tenor parts as Huggins pitch is a
% pretty weak percept at the best of times.  You'll need a pretty good set
% of headphones to hear this too - it will not work properly over
% loudspeakers.

% The transcription here was originally done by Stewart Bozarth and the
% painstaking programming of the score into MATLAB code was taken from
