In the current issue, 13(3), out now, there is a general tutorial on musical applications of networks, plus articles on network models of pitch perception, tonal analysis, quantization of time, complex musical patterns, and instrument fingering. In the next issue, 13(4), due out at the end of the year, there will be articles on my work using sequential networks for composition, modelling tonal expectancy (with Jamshed Bharucha, who has also published much work in the area of network modelling of human musical behavior), and another article on representations for pitch perception. Both issues were edited by D. Gareth Loy, of UC San Diego, and myself; the journal is available in some bookstores.
