New Book on Music, Gestalt, and Computing
<nofill>Dear List,
I thought this information might be interesting for auditory research as
this book contains a number of papers that deal with this topic from
a musicological point of view.
Thanks for your interest,
Marc Leman

Music, Gestalt, and Computing--
Studies in Cognitive and Systematic Musicology

This book presents a coherent state-of-the-art survey on the area of
systematic and cognitive musicology which has enjoyed dynamic growth now
for many years. It is devoted to exploring the relationships between
acoustics, human information processing, and culture, as well as to
methodological issues raised by the widespread use of computers as
powerful tools for theory construction, theory testing, and the
manipulation of musical information or any kind of data manipulation
related to music.
This book comes with a CD providing sound examples for various chapters;
it contains introductory survey contributions also accessible to the
non-expert reader, a comprehensive name and subject index and the
following technical chapters: 1. Gestalt theory revisited, 2. from pitch
to harmony, 3. from rhythm to expectation, 4. from timbre to texture, 5.
from musical expression to interactive computer systems.
Most of the contributions included are thoroughly revised and reviewed
versions of papers presented during the Joint International Conference on
Cognitive and Systematic Musicology, held in Brugge, Belgium in September
1996.
