Hi Tom, This was the main topic of a colloqium organized at Ircam in 2009 bringing scientists, artists and philosophers together. Some of the presentation videos are actually online: http://agora2009.ircam.fr/symposium.html?L=1 Besides this, a recent publication of me and my colleagues discusses the issue (taken directly out of my thesis) and just assymptotically touching this (very important) issue -- using methods of information geometry: Cont A., Dubnov S., and Assayag G., On the Information Geometry of Audio Streams with Applications to Similarity Computing, IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, Vol. 19, no. 4, Pp. 837-846, May 2011. Cheers, Arshia Cont Researcher, Musical Representations Team, + Head of Musical Research, Ircam - Centre Pompidou. http://repmus.ircam.fr/Arshia-Cont On Aug 11, 2011, at 4:29 PM, Tom Cochrane wrote: > (apologies for cross postings) > > Dear listmembers > > Does anyone know of any important articles or books which discuss > the issue of musical complexity?
