JULIEN RICARD, PERFECTO HERRERATowards computational morphological sound descriptionAbstractMany sounds widely used in popular or experimental contemporary music cannot be described by the traditional music representation pitch/duration/source. These include sounds digitally synthesized or transformed or sounds from non conventional use of traditional musical instruments, which may have no identifiable pitch or source. We propose a description framework, based on Schaeffer's research on a generalised solfeggio, which could be applied to any type of sounds. He defined some morphological description criteria, based on intrinsic perceptual qualities of sound, which doesn't refer to the cause or the meaning of a sound. More specifically, we investigated ways to automatically extract some of these descriptors, which could provide an alternative sound representation. |
