I should start this piece with an admission: I had no idea at the time I attended the “Timbre Is a Many-Splendored Thing” conference that I would be asked to review it. If I had known, I would have attended every panel or at least a far greater portion of the conference than I did. To be sure, I was present for at least a part of each of the conference’s four days. But I also played a good bit of conference hooky. This is not typical for me. Usually as a conference participant I am very plugged in. And that is why I am choosing to open this piece with a not very flattering admission rather than disguise my disengagement by cleverly writing around the things I missed. More than most conferences I attend, the Timbre 2018 conference made me feel like an outsider to the discussion at hand....
