DAY BY DAY PROGRAM

Encounters with the Research Teams

On-site presentations by the research groups of projects and research currently being carried out.

An opportunity to take a peek into the potential future of music, of composition tools and to talk with the researchers about musical writing, interpretation or new music technology.

Instrumental Acoustics

• Acoustic studies on musical instruments and modeling
• Application of synthesis via physical modeling (Modalys and Brass software programs) and lutherie
• CONSONNES project that studies instrumental gesture and musician-robots.

Room Acoustics

• Systems for reproducing a sound field in the context of sound installations, WFS
• Authoring tools for writing and controlling spatialized scenes.

Perception and Sound Design

• Perceptive control interface for physical modeling synthesis and the organization of sound databases
• Analysis of temporal and mnemonic processes in the listening of a sound sequence
• Study and creation of sound signals.

Sound Analysis/Synthesis

• Audio signal analysis and synthesis models, synthesis control, voice processing, musical analysis and processing using the programs SuperVP, AudioSculpt, and Diphone Studio.

Music Representations

• Computer-assisted composition and analysis
• Music generation and improvisation
• High-level control for synthesis and spatialization
• Orchestration aids (software programs Openmusic and Musique Lab).

Analysis of Musical Practices

• Musicology of contemporary pieces and practices; hypermedia listening and analysis tools
• Historical investigations.

Real-Time Applications

• Research and development in technology for the interaction between a performer and computer music concentrating on signal processing and the recognition of musical forms, sounds and gestures: score following, augmented violin, movement capture and analysis, concatenative sound synthesis based on data, interactive audio applications.

Online Services

• Collaborative spaces for sharing and searching for sound samples (SoundPalette - Orchestration)
• Instrumented listening at home and browsing musical archives (SemanticHiFi - ECOUTE projects).

Mechanics Workshop

• Presentation of an artificial mouth for the trumpet, a variable volume mouthpiece for the clarinet, a "wah-wah" mute, measurement system for piano hammers.
