I have not seen this book, but there is a new one from MIT that looks very
interesting:

"Music, Cognition, and Computerized Sound" Perry R. Cook (Ed.).  The 
book focuses on psychoacoustic processes in a musical content --
according to MIT's ad.  It includes chapters by Chowning, Matthews, 
and Shepard, among others.  $60  392 pages 174 illus.
MIT's catalog code is 0-262-03256-2  COOMH
