probably try [bp~ 11000 100] (see help-patch for [bp~]; play with q)
then use [env~] to measure the power in the filtered signal.
most probably you will have to set the result into relation to the 
original signal somehow (to make it robust against loudness variance)

as for real and imaginary data:
c=x+i*y
|c| = sqrt(x^2+y^2)
now x and y are your signals; you most likely can skip the sqrt() as it 
is costy and only "scales" (non-linearily) the result.
