Abstract
The ‘chunk’ phenomenon has attracted some attention lately. In the auditory domain a chunk is seen as a segment of sound. This work investigates theories of chunks from cognitive science and musicology. We define the chunk as a closed entity of a certain size and with a dynamic structure containing a peak. The perceptual analysis of three songs permits the extraction of the audio of the chunks. Common signal processing methods are used to extract loudness, chroma, pitch and brightness of the chunks. These features are then compared to the music for one chunk, and to the definition of the chunk for the mean of all chunks of the songs.
