Information Sonification
Information sonification is the process of representing information using sound. This research is concerned with mapping data to appropriate auditory dimensions in real time, using spatialisation to enhance differentiation of information streams. Information sonfication links with related research - interactive sonification, sonification pedagogy, gestural interaction, sonification of socio-spatial activity in sensate environments and data-driven art.
Gesture-augmented hyper-instrument
Augmenting traditional instruments with electronic audio or visual display triggered by sensors, enhanced and multi-modal interfacing.
Research THEMES
understanding bi-modality
engagement
physical/gestural interfaces
understanding responsiveness
adaptive installation systems
computer vision / computer listening
gestural computer interaction for specific contexts
eco-aware sonfication + auditory graphing
aesthetic sonification + real time toolkit
enhancing current sonification methods
Generative Sound Structures
Used for algorithmic and spectral functions in computer-assisted composition
e.g. scaling, interpolation, transposition, arithmetic functions, randomization, generative algorithms
explore new implementations of generative algorithms or structures (CA, GA, L-systems...) in music
generative structures for particle organization in granular synthesis
Real time generative responsiveness
Generative design methods/structures for visualization and sonification that can operate with low latency in real time for installations or performance of digital audio-visual display, e.g. Neural Network oscillators or homeostatic systems, L-Systems, Cellular Automata for implementation in evolving artworks triggered by interaction or data input
