The migration of client-server systems to web services using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) design principles is widespread and likely to dominate the future evolution of computing. Use of web services is especially challenging for streaming content such as that which would be used for sound design. This paper describes the principles of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and ways that ...

Participatory workshops have been organized within the framework of the ANR project Legos that concerns gesture-sound interactive systems. These workshops addressed both theoretical issues and experimentation with prototypes. The first goal was to stimulate new ideas related to the control of everyday objects using sound feedback, and then, to create and experiment with new sonic augmented obje...

This research focuses on the generation of soundscapes using unstructured sound databases for the sonification of virtual environments. The design methodology incorporates the use of concatenative synthesis to construct a sound environment using online community-provided sonic material, and an application of this methodology is described in which sound environments are generated for Google Stre...

Building on recent research in musical creativity and the composition process, this paper presents a specific practical application of our theory and software to sound design. The BigBang rubette module that brings gestural music composition methods to the Rubato Composer software was recently generalized in order to work with any kinds of musical and non-musical objects. Here, we focus on time...

This article outlines the salient phases, goals, and results of the sound perception and design research component of alarm/will/sound, a multidisciplinary musical research project carried out in the context of the IRCAM IRC (Interface Recherche-Création) Musical Residency Research program. After the rationale for and motivations behind the project are presented, the following research mileston...
