I have been using the MIRToolbox plugin for MATLAB in order to analyse music. By using four standard (non DRM, free) tracks over the course of my experiments, I hope to able to make correlations between music, gesture and form by running Self Organised Mapping (Neural networks) over the results. Here are the graphical outputs from MIRToolbox:

PROJECT DATE: 2011 - 2013
COLLABORATION: Dr Nigel Yee
This is a component of my current Masters project. The project seeks to remove dennotative symbol based communication with an abstract interface that uses movement to convey interface logic.
The neural network that I am proposing acts as the structure on which the UI is based upon.[...]
I haven't electronically updated my project's web presence in some time, despite a great deal of research having been completed. Rather than try and update in the correct chronological order I am going to use the scattergun approach in order to actually do it, rather than thinking about it as I have over the last week.
I have investigated software that will help analyze music for the interface:[...]
