Description du projet
Créer de nouvelles musiques par morphing sonore
Le projet MORPH utilise le traitement du signal pour examiner le timbre des instruments de musique traditionnels et créer des instruments de musique hybrides grâce au morphing et à la technologie sonores. En étudiant l’écart sonique entre les sons produits par les instruments, ce projet multidisciplinaire intégrera une interface utilisateur, afin de développer l’expression au-delà des frontières connues dans la musique acoustique numérisée. Il va élaborer de nouvelles techniques de modélisation des sons d’instruments, élargir nos connaissances sur le traitement du signal et le timbre, et brouillera la frontière entre les sons. Cela permettra non seulement de mieux comprendre le timbre, mais aussi de stimuler de manière exponentielle la création de nouvelles musiques grâce à des sons d’instruments hybrides.
Objectif
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.
