This article deals with the analysis of a work by François Bayle,L'oiseau moqueur (1963). I worked at the INA-GRM (Paris) inorder to realise a graphic record of the piece using their proprietaryacousmograph software. To work from this graphic record, I used threemethods of analysis: identification and classification of sound objectsusing a Schaefferian typology, comparison of objects with one anotherfollowing a paradigmatic approach, and presentation of the results obtainedthrough enumeration of a certain number of values (duration, density ofobjects, etc.).
