| Abstract | |
This work suggests novel control paradigms of sound synthesis mechanisms. Applying cognitive science concepts, the generative process is modeled as a system of conversions throughout representations: from user's insight, through descriptive, to the sound material. From descriptive analogy studies, the acoustic analogy (representation through sound) and the semantic analogy (representation through language) are engendered. Applied to the modeled architecture, these analogies allow the synthesis process to have a more intuitive nature. Two practical implementations are presented. Bio-inspired computing provides the computational machinery used to map different representations and to control the synthesis process (AU) | |
