From Timbre Perception to the Creative Exploration of Musical Instrument Sound Morphing

Projektbeschreibung

Neue Musik durch Sound-Morphing

Das Projekt MORPH erforscht mithilfe von Signalverarbeitung die Klangfarbe traditioneller Musikinstrumente. Durch Sound-Morphing und Technologie entwickelt es außerdem ein Hybrid-Musikinstrument. Das interdisziplinäre Projekt wird den akustischen Unterschied zwischen den Klängen verschiedener Instrumente untersuchen und eine Benutzeroberfläche entwickeln, um digitale akustische Musik mit einem Ausdruck jenseits der bekannten Grenzen zu schaffen. Es wird neue Modellierungstechniken für den Klang von Instrumenten erarbeiten, unsere Kenntnisse über Signalverarbeitung und Klangfarbe erweitern und den Unterschied zwischen Klängen verschwimmen lassen. Dies wird nicht nur zum Verständnis des Konzepts Klangfarbe beitragen, sondern auch die Schaffung neuer Musik mit Klängen von Hybrid-Instrumenten exponentiell steigern.

Ziel

Sound morphing has the potential to provide critical new insight into our understanding of timbre perception, and to deliver innovative virtual hybrid musical instruments for the creative exploration of the sonic gap which exists between traditional musical instrument sounds. Timbre, a highly complex perceptual phenomenon traditionally associated with musical instruments, is considered one of the last frontiers of auditory science. Sound morphing holds enormous promise for the investigation of timbre perception because it can gradually blur the categorical distinction between sounds by blending their sensory attributes. In this groundbreaking multidisciplinary project that fuses signal processing, experimental psychology, and music technology, I propose to use sound morphing to create continuous timbre spaces by filling the gaps between traditional musical instruments and therefore breaking the categorical perception of musical instrument timbre by the auditory illusion of hybrid musical instruments. This radically novel approach will integrate a touch user interface to enable the creative exploration of sound morphing with original virtual hybrid musical instruments that push the creative boundaries of musical expression by moving beyond the physical limitations of acoustic musical instruments and the traditional digital musical instruments that rely on them. The impact of this project will be felt across three prominent, complementary research domains, namely: signal processing; timbre perception; and musical interaction. First, this project will advance music signal processing by developing new modeling techniques specifically tailored for musical instrument sounds. Second, it will provide powerful analysis tools to further our understanding of musical timbre perception. Finally, the project aims to revolutionize musical expression by fostering new musical results through the creative exploration of continuous timbre spaces and hybrid musical instrument sounds.
