IRCAM Forum in collaboration with NYU is organizing the annual meeting for sound and music professionals in New York from September 30 to October 3, 2022
Themes: interaction and sound design
Several topics will be addressed: sound processing and spatialization, artificial intelligence, improvisation, collective interaction, soundscapes and sonification. The most advanced researchers and artists in these fields will lead workshops, conferences, installations and concerts.
Sessions
- New technologies for voice and sound processing and analysis will be presented by researchers Nicolas Obin, Greg Beller, Pierre Guillot and Philippe Esling from Ircam.
- Audio processing products organized by the company Izotope.
- A demonstration of sound spatialization with a WFS system with very high spatial resolution will be proposed by Markus Noisternig from Ircam and Johannes Goebel from EMPAC.
- Sound Design with Nicolas Misdariis, Ircam Research Director and head of the Perception and Sound Design team of the STMS Laboratory, with a synthesis of his work in connection with the composers and sound designers Roque Rivas and Nadine Schütz and Andrea Cera
- Gesture-sound interaction and collective interaction by Frédéric Bevilacqua and Benjamin Matuszewski, researchers at Ircam, in particular for applications to pedagogical devices, a theme also involving Alex Ruttmann.
Masterclasses
- Learn to use the DYCI2 environment, a software developed at Ircam that facilitates musical creation thanks to its generative technology. These classes will be concluded by a final demo by Jérôme Nika, researcher and musician specialized in machine-human interaction for music.
