The concept of continuum has been used in a number of contexts
within electroacoustic music including Stockhausen’s pulse to
pitch continuum (and similar continua applied to other musical
parameters). Serial composition in the studio was largely
concerned with the creation of continua between sonic parameters
as a means of creating new musical languages and structuring
principles for compositions. Denis Smalley has introduced the
concept in relation to perceptually led facets of sound in his
Spectromorphological theory. Many practitioners conceive of a
continuum between abstract and mimetic material. UNESCO
