Abstract
We present in this paper an implementation of a roughness descriptor based on the model of Pantelis Vassilakis. We apply the implemented descriptor to perform a computer-aided musical analysis of György Ligeti’s Continuum for harpsichord (1968). Our analysis establishes a parallel between the roughness model, concepts of sound mass composition, and Ligeti’s ideas of timbre of movement and permeability. As a result, we display a graphical representation for the roughness present in the Continuum’s recording, propose a formal segmentation for the piece, and analyze its formal development from a musicological point of view.
