Regards on two regards by Messiaen: Post-tonal music segmentation using pitch context distances in the spiral array [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper describes an O(n) algorithm for segmenting music automatically by pitch context using the Spiral Array, a mathematical model for tonality, and applies it to the segmentation of post-tonal music, namely, Olivier Messiaen's Regards IV and XVI from his Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jésus . Using the idea of the centre of effect ( c.e .), a summary point in the interior of the Spiral Array, segmentation boundaries map to peaks in the distances between the c.e .'s of adjacent segments of music. The best-case computed boundaries are, on average, within 0.94% (for Regard IV ) and 0.11% (for Regard XVI ) of their targets. © 2005 Taylor & Francis.
