Analysis of Electroacoustic Works with Music and Language Intersections.

This paper proposes a theoretical model for the analysis of music and language intersections in contemporary music. This model is tested on a repertoire of electroacoustic and acoustic pieces, providing examples of blurred boundaries between music and speech. We have defined two axes representing possible dimensions of this relationship: intelligibility and music/speech qualities. The resulting sonic space provides a visual account that can serve as a “travel guide ” in the musicspeech continuum. We envision applications of this model in the fields of composition, musicology, and cognitive studies. 1.
