Don't Just Play it, Grow it! : Breeding Sound Synthesis and Performance Mappings
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the use of evolutionary and artificial life techniques in sound design and the development of performance mapping to facilitate the real-time manipulation of such sounds through some input device controlled by the performer. A concrete example of such a system is described which allows musicians without detailed knowledge and experience of sound synthesis techniques to interactively develop new sounds and performance manipulation mappings according to their own aesthetic judgements. Experiences with the system are discussed.

Genophone: Evolving Sounds and Integral Performance Parameter Mappings
This paper explores the application of evolutionary techniques to the design of novel sounds and their characteristics during performance. It is based on the “selective breeding” paradigm and as such dispensing with the need for detailed knowledge of the Sound Synthesis Techniques involved, in order to design sounds that are novel and of musical interest. This approach has been used successfull...
متن کاملAdaptive Hyperinstruments: Applying Evolutionary Techniques to Sound Synthesis and Performance
DESCRIPTION This paper describes the Genophone [2], a hyperinstru-ment developed for Sound-Performance-Design using the evolutionary paradigm of selective breeding as the driving process. Sound design, and control assignments (performance mappings), on most current systems rely heavily on an intimate knowledge of the Sound Synthesis Techniques (SSTs) employed by the sound generator (hardware or...

متن کاملInference of String Mappings for Language Technology
Mappings between formal languages play an important role in speech and language processing. This thesis explores issues related to inductive inference or learning of string-to-string mappings. The kinds of mappings considered fall within the larger class of rational transductions realized by finite state machines. Such mappings have applications in speech synthesis, speech recognition, and info...
متن کاملGrab-and-play Mapping: Creative Machine Learning Approaches for Musical Inclusion and Exploration
We present the first implementation of a new tool for prototyping digital musical instruments, which allows a user to literally grab a controller and turn it into a new, playable musical instrument almost instantaneously. The tool briefly observes a user interacting with a controller or sensors (without making any sound), and then it automatically generates a mapping from this observed input sp...
