Subject: Re: Mixed EA Analysis References

Many thanks to all those who replied to my earlier request.
In response to Chris Koenigsberg, I have to (perhaps rather sheepishly...)
admit that the question was deliberately vague - to try to draw as broad a
response as possible, both in terms of specific references to Saariaho (to
see what I may have missed in my searches) and more specifically to any
work/thinking anybody may have done around mixed electroacoustic music and
its analysis. I'm using the Saariaho piece as a analytical case study + have
suprisingly drawn something of a blank around literature analysing mixed e-a
works. My thoughts at the moment are that they provoke some interesting
analytical questions, particularly if one tries to bring e-a + more
traditional 'score-based' approaches to analysis together to get a fuller
picture of a piece.
Once again, thanks to all those who replied.
