Ge Wang:
This presentation explores expressive visual design for computer music, focusing in particular on real-time integration of graphics and audio. Specific projects are presented as case studies supporting a set of design principles. They range from “user-oriented” to “aesthetic” and additional observations. Examples are categorized into audio visualization, game-like interfaces, and mobile instruments.
Romain Michon:
A set of tools to use Faust to write musical applications for iOS and Android will be presented: - faust2android turns a Faust code into a ready-to-use Android application where parameters can be assigned to accelerometers or controlled by a collection of high level interfaces (piano keyboards, X/Y controller, etc.).
- faust2api turns a Faust code into a library accessible through a high level API than can be used on iOS and Android to carry out real time audio signal processing tasks.
Jorge Herrera:
A non-linear dynamical model capable of detecting the pulse in musical rhythms will be presented. The model is based on synchronization of interacting sensory and motor networks, which aligns with experimental observations of how the human brain might develop a pulse percept. Preliminary results will be presented, and future directions of research will be discussed.
