Public visit
Research Teams
Scientific teams will present their projects and research presently underway.
A chance to take a futuristic look at music, to get a glimpse of the latest creative and compositional tools and to discuss issues of musical writing and interpretation, as well as the latest advances in music technology with researchers.
Room Acoustics
- live spatialisation of sound (Spatialisateur)
- virtual acoustics for sound and multimedia installations
- new devices for 3D audio
- tools for interactive 3D audio creations
Instrumental Acoustics
- modified concert instruments
- physical model sound synthesis (Modalys)
- study of acoustics and the modeling of existing instruments
Analysis and Synthesis
- vocal processing for concert and film (SuperVP, AudioSculpt and Diphone Studio)
