Re: [microsound] spectralist CD?



 >the application to the big form of the micro segmentation of sound,
-I think that that idea moves beyond human perception, if you
 want to succeed with that intention you can not do that
 without taking human limitations in to account.

I think you are right, but before "taking human limitations in to account", you need to know them! What I contest to original "spectral school",among others, is to base on a psychological science that at that age was already old!


>but was not supported by adeguated reflections on
form perception (or even perceptive segmentation
-Which in a sense is quite strange, because I seem
 to remember that Stephen McAdams was doing all kinds
 of research on these matters at IRCAM at that time
 and was often quoted, in this regard.

that's true, nevertheless pattern recognition or segment perception were out of the research of the (starting) spectral school...


 >resulted (always imho) not much more than a technical gadget.
-Which is probably also the biggest I have always had
 with it.
 But like you mentioned it also resulted in some good music
 and intriguing ideas and musical software.

Of course! I have also studied with Murail (who was very rigid at that time on textural thinking of musical composition!!!) and appreciate a lot (among others) some of Grisey's (orchestral) work!
