The interactive aural approach uses software both to model the techniques used by the composer and to investigate the structure of a work aurally. Multi-dimensional dynamic processes can be presented aurally and, for example, broken down into component parts. Interactive experimentation with the techniques facilitates development of an understanding of their creative potential and the significance of the way they are used in a particular work. Software can also be used to create reductive sketches demonstrating underlying structures aurally. The software is also able to play precise extracts from the original work. Passages can be compared and the development of musical material traced aurally. Such extracts are taken directly from the CD recording without infringing copyright. Based on an initial trial of such an approach in my analysis of Jonathan Harvey's Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco, this project aims to significantly develop and refine the techniques used there. In particular, it will address new issues by analysing two contrasting works, highly acclaimed representatives of different aspects of electroacoustic music. One is an acousmatic work, Wind Chimes by Denis Smalley, in which the spectral evolution of sounds (its 'spectromorphology') plays a major structural role. The other work is a mixed media work, Anthèmes 2 by Pierre Boulez, combining traditional acoustic instruments with electronic processing. Both works require significant developments to the interactive aural approach and new software developments.The two analyses will be published as a written text accompanied by software (see Case for Support for details). But they will also serve as a means of developing the interactive aural approach so that it can encompass a broad range of electroacoustic music. A paper will be published discussing the development of the approach and the software tools used will be made available on-line. It is intended that through this project a significant new approach to studying electroacoustic music will be established and made available for others to use. By enabling people to engage with the musical structures aurally and interactively they will be understood more fully. By presenting the techniques used in a work in a user-friendly interactive environment the aim is to help bridge the gap between science and music leading to greater understanding not only of particular works but of the interrelation of technology and creativity in electroacoustic music more generally. The resource developed through this project should be a significant new development in the study of electroacoustic music, facilitating a deeper and broader appreciation and understanding of it.

交互式听觉方法使用软件来模拟作曲家使用的技术并通过听觉方式研究作品的结构。多维动态过程可以通过听觉方式呈现，例如可以分解为多个组成部分。对这些技术进行互动实验有助于了解它们的创造潜力以及它们在特定作品中使用方式的重要性。软件还可用于创建简化草图，以听觉方式展示底层结构。该软件还能够播放原作的精确摘录。可以通过听觉方式比较段落并追踪音乐材料的发展。此类摘录直接取自 CD 录音，不侵犯版权。基于我对 Jonathan Harvey 的 Mortuos Plango、Vivos Voco 的分析中对这种方法的初步尝试，该项目旨在显着开发和完善其中使用的技术。特别是，它将通过分析两部截然不同的作品来解决新问题，这两部作品是电声音乐不同方面广受好评的代表作品。其中之一是丹尼斯·斯莫利（Denis Smalley）的声学作品《风铃》，其中声音的频谱演化（其“频谱形态学”）发挥着主要的结构作用。另一件作品是皮埃尔·布列兹 (Pierre Boulez) 的混合媒体作品《Anthèmes 2》，将传统原声乐器与电子处理相结合。这两部作品都需要对交互式听觉方法和新软件开发进行重大开发。这两项分析将作为附带软件的书面文本发布（有关详细信息，请参阅支持案例）。但它们也将作为开发交互式听觉方法的一种手段，使其能够涵盖广泛的电声音乐。将发表一篇论文讨论该方法的开发，并且所使用的软件工具将在线提供。旨在通过该项目建立一种研究电声音乐的重要新方法并可供其他人使用。通过使人们能够通过听觉和交互方式参与音乐结构，他们将被更充分地理解。通过在用户友好的交互环境中展示作品中使用的技术，目的是帮助弥合科学和音乐之间的差距，从而不仅加深对特定作品的理解，而且更广泛地理解电声音乐中技术和创造力的相互关系。通过该项目开发的资源应该是电声音乐研究的重大新发展，有助于更深入、更广泛地欣赏和理解它。
