Abstract

This dissertation presents a study on interactive models applied to the real time synthesis and sound spatialization. More specifically addresses on the development of mathematical and algorithmic methods for generation and spatial control of granular flows through similarities measures between the grains. Initially approached theoretical aspects underlying the field of proposed research and then present a computational model developed for spatial control of granular flows. We discuss primarily about conceptual elements on the sound spatialization, related to spatial hearing, historical contexts of spatial music, techniques and systems for real time auralization, and then present a study of microtemporal representation as support for analysis, sound synthesis and music composition. Based on these studies, we developed a software in Pure Data (PD) for real time granular spatialization called GTSpat - Granular Timbre spatialization. In this model, one feature vector extracted by audio features are assigned to each grain, which is virtually located in the spatialization as a function thereof. Via three distinct interactive proposals, we create modules that the user can manipulate the different properties of sound synthesis and spatialization. We also propose two models of the automatic spatial distribution of the grains, based on adaptive strategies of the system depending on the proposed user interaction. Finally, we present some artistic applications using the system for creating GTSpat as support and, thus, serve as a mechanism for assessing the developed tools (AU)
