tiNNbre: a timbre-based musical agent (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bolzoni, A., Di Donato, B., & Laney, R. (2021). tiNNbre: a timbre-based musical agent. In 2nd Nordic Sound and Music Conference

In this paper, we present tiNNbre, a generative music prototype-system that reacts to timbre gestures. By timbre gesture we mean a sonic (as opposed to body) gesture that mainly conveys artistic meaning through timbre rather than other sonic properti...

Gesture-Timbre Space: Multidimensional Feature Mapping Using Machine Learning and Concatenative Synthesis (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zbyszyński, M., Di Donato, B., Visi, F., & Tanaka, A. (2019, October). Gesture-Timbre Space: Multidimensional Feature Mapping Using Machine Learning and Concatenative Synthesis. Presented at 14th International Symposium, CMMR 2019, Marseille, France

This chapter explores three systems for mapping embodied gesture, acquired with electromyography and motion sensing, to sound synthesis. A pilot study using granular synthesis is presented, followed by studies employing corpus-based concatenative syn...
