Corpus-based concatenative synthesis presents unique possibilities for the visualization of audio descriptor data. These visualization tools can be applied to sound diffusion in the physical space of the concert hall using current spatialization technologies. Using CATART and the FTM&CO library for MAX/MSP we develop a technique for the organization of a navigation space for synthesis based on ...

Recent technological improvements in audio reproduction systems increased the possibilities to spatialize sources in a listening environment. The spatialization of reproduced audio is highly dependent on the recording technique, the rendering method, and the loudspeaker configuration. While object-based audio production reduces this dependency on loudspeaker configurations, related authoring to...

Broader use of virtual reality environments and sophisticated animations spawn a need for spatial sound. Until now, spatial sound design has been based very much on experience and trial and error. Most effects are handcrafted, because good design tools for spatial sound do not exist. This paper discusses spatial sound authoring and its applications, including shared virtual reality environments...

3D sound is a powerful technology which allows to give a realistic impression of localization of sound sources. This technology is now mature enough to produce a finegrained spatialization on a set of audio sound sources in real time. However, the are serious limitations in the way this technology is used in current practice. Firstly, composers and sound engineers have great difficulty in maste...

Individuals together with their locations & attributes are essential to feed micro-level applied urban models (for example, spatial micro-simulation and agent-based modeling) for policy evaluation. Existed studies on population spatialization and population synthesis are generally separated. In developing countries like China, population distribution in a fine scale, as the input for population...

A new way to control sound spatial dispersion using the ESSynth Method is introduced here. The Interaural Time Difference (ITD) is used as genotype of an evolutionary control of sound spatialization. Sound intensity and the ITD azimuth angle are used to define spatial dispersion and spatial similarity. Experimental results where crossover and mutation rates were used to create spatial sonic tra...
