Segmentation

[Francesco Giomi <art%ifiidg.bitnet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that the problem is more similar to those founded
in electroacoustic music analysis than in tonal music.
The book of Lerdahl&Jackendoff concerns specifically with
segmentation of musical groups in tonal music and, however, could
be interesting to read for those problems.
But the problem of sound stream segmentation into objects is open
in electroacoustic music analysis. Perhaps you can find some ideas
about sonic objects and their perception in these two books:"
Chion, M. "Guide des object sonores" INA/Buchet/Chastel
Emmerson, S. (ed.)  "The language of electroacoustic music" (just
the article of Denis Smalley on spectromorphology).
