Audiovisual Performance | Final Projects | Arts Intensive 2024

Wed, 09/18/2024 - 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Location:
CCRMA Stage / CCRMA LIVE
Event Type:
Concert 
In the span of 2.5 weeks, students in this audiovisual performance class worked intensely on several projects. They explored relationships between sound and moving image, programming and physical interaction with audio and video material, remixing audiovisual compositions, and performing with their digital doppelgängers. We are very excited to present their final projects in this live audiovisual concert.
Purnima Kamath on Generative Models for Sound Design
Date:
Fri, 09/13/2024 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Seminar Room
Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
Large language models (LLM) such as ChatGPT are making striking changes to how we think about words and intelligence. Generative models (https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/gan/generative) take these ideas a step further by creating new data from a text prompt. Can an LLM and a generative model create new kinds of sounds? It is easy to imagine a system that lets you generate dog sounds, for example. But how would you build a system that lets you ask for a dog sound with a touch of wolf? With steerability or morphing the sound landscapes become much more interesting. Can we control a generative model to make both big and small changes to the sound we generate?
