SEMA - Statistic Electroacoustic Music Analyzer

Analyzing complex and often abstract forms of sonic expression presents unique challenges, moving beyond traditional score-based methods focus on the inherent qualities of the sound itself. To address this, computational tools have become invaluable, offering objective insights into the sonic landscape of electroacoustic works. But how to apply these tools in real-life situations, and how to easily interpret data collected during analysis?
