In an intelligent editing environment, the semantic music structure can be used as beneficial assistance during the post production process. In this paper we propose a new approach to extract both low and high level hierarchical structure from vocal tracks of multi-track master recordings. Contrary to most segmentation methods for polyphonic audio, we utilize extra information available when analyzing a single audio track. A sequence of symbols is derived using a hierarchical decomposition method involving onset detection, pitch tracking and timbre modelling to capture phonetic similarity. Results show that the applied model well captures similarity of short voice segments.
