Flo Menezes Concert
Flo Menezes' concert brings to the public the North American premiere of four of his acousmatic works, covering a period from 2008 to the present. His music is characterised by spectral, structural and spatial research, resulting in an immersive poetics that the composer defines as maximalist. In a broad panorama that ranges from the posthumous homage to Stockhausen shortly after his death – for whom Flo Menezes was Teaching Assistant on the Kürten Courses and about whom the composer is publishing a trilogy of almost 1000 pages of analyses by the publisher Routledge – to the recent composition made at the EMS in Stockholm, which mixes analogue sounds made on a historic Buchla with granular synthesis, we have a fairly faithful portrait of the diversity of his music.

Pulse Audition: Leveraging DNN-Based Speech Enhancement for Improved Communication in Assistive Listening Devices
This talk explores the evolution of Deep Neural Network (DNN) based approaches in speech enhancement and source separation. Beginning with a historical overview, it traces the progression from traditional methods to the current state-of-the-art techniques. Emphasizing the persistent challenge of speech intelligibility in noisy environments, the discussion transitions to the contemporary issue of inadequate performance in conventional hearing aids. The approach adopted by Pulse Audition of integrating DNN-based technologies into hearing assistance systems is then highlighted, presenting a promising avenue for significantly enhancing communication for individuals with hearing impairments.
