AniMorph: Animation Driven Audio Mosaicing

This paper describes AniMorph a system for animation driven Concatenative Sound Synthesis (CSS). We can distinguish between two main application domains of CSS in the context of music technology: target sound re-synthesis, and free sound synthesis. The difference between these two categories is that in target sound re-synthesis the aim is to re-create a sound or a sound’s characteristics by providing audio examples (see Schwarz & Schnell 2010, Stevens et al. 2012), while free sound synthesis focuses on exploration of the audio corpus in order to synthesise novel sounds that do not necessarily resemble the features of another sound, for examples see (Comajuncosas 2011, Navab et al. 2014, Schwarz & Hackbarth 2012).
