In this work the techniques of chaotic time series analysis are applied to music. The audio stream from musical recordings are treated as representing experimental data from a dynamical system. Several performance of well-known classical pieces are analysed using recurrence analysis, stationarity measures, information metrics, and other time series based approaches. The benefits of such analysis are reported.
