I think, an important distinction to make is that between constantly flowing signals and sporadic events. In computer music a typical example would be the different time scales of audio signals and midi events or between an audio recodding and a midi file or between a real performance and a written score: These are fundamentally different ways to desribe music, but both have a place in music making.
