Descrizione del progetto
Creare nuova musica attraverso il morphing del suono
Il progetto MORPH utilizza l’elaborazione del segnale per esaminare il timbro negli strumenti musicali tradizionali e, attraverso il morphing e la tecnologia del suono, creare strumenti musicali ibridi. Esaminando il divario sonoro tra i suoni degli strumenti, questo progetto multidisciplinare integrerà un’interfaccia utente per condurre l’espressione oltre i confini noti della musica acustica digitalizzata. MORPH svilupperà nuove tecniche di modellazione dei suoni degli strumenti, amplierà la nostra conoscenza dell’elaborazione del segnale e del timbro e sfumerà le distinzioni tra i suoni. Ciò non solo aumenterà la comprensione del timbro, ma stimolerà anche in modo esponenziale la creazione di nuova musica attraverso suoni di strumenti ibridi.
Obiettivo
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.
