Abstract How can we use sound and music to create rich engaging human-robot interactions? A growing body of HRI research explores the many ways in which affects interactions although some studies conclude with tentative design recommendations, there are, our knowledge, no generalised recommendations for robot process. We address this gap by first investigating frameworks domains product film se...

This paper reviews sound design techniques used in professional audio for music and theater and proposes a conceptual approach to the construction of audio based in narrative structure. The sound designer does not attempt to replicate "real" sounds; the task is rather to create the impression of a real sound in a listener's mind. In this attempt to create a sound in the listener's mind, the sou...

This paper presents a prototypical tool for sound selection driven by users’ gestures. Sound selection by gestures is a particular case of ”query by content” in multimedia databases. Gesture-to-Sound matching is based on computing the similarity between both gesture and sound parameters’ temporal evolution. The tool presents three algorithms for matching gesture query to sound target. The syste...

Sound-based communication within different kinds of media have a long tradition. Sound design of radio-plays as early as 1920s have defined the basis for communicative use of sound effects which is still relevant in the tradition of film sound design. One of the common demands for sound designers have been the creation of sound effects with various emotional or intentional qualities. The suitab...
