What does music look like? Representation of sound has taken many forms over time, from sinusoidal wave patterns, through to random algorithm-based visualisations based on the amplitude of an audio signal. One aspect of music visualisation that has n... Read More about Exploring Musical Creativity through Interactive Cymatics.

Sketching concatenative synthesis: audiovisual Isomorphism in reduced modes. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tsiros, A., LePlâtre, G., & Smyth, M. (2012, July). Sketching concatenative synthesis: audiovisual Isomorphism in reduced modes. Presented at 9th Sound and Music Computing Conference

This paper presents a prototype allowing the control of a
concatenative synthesis algorithm using a 2D sketching
interface. The design of the system is underpinned by a
preliminary discussion in which isomorphisms between
auditory and visual phen... Read More about Sketching concatenative synthesis: audiovisual Isomorphism in reduced modes..

Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. (1999)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1999). Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. CASYS, 4, 227-239

This paper addresses the issue of music as a communication medium in auditory humancomputer
interfaces. So far, psychoacoustics has had a great influence on the
development of auditory interfaces, directly and through music cognition. We suggest
t... Read More about Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces..
