3D sound can have a negative impact on the perception of visual content in audiovisual reproductions
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)There is reason to believe that sound interacts with visual attention mechanisms. Practical implications of that interaction have never been analyzed in the context of spatial sound design for audiovisual reproduction. ... -
3DJ: A supercollider framework for real-time sound spatialization
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)The field of real time sound spatizalization is recently receiving much attention, as suggested by the large number of proposals appeared in last years - both from software spatialization frameworks and from hardware ... -
Adding sound to medical data representation
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)Some preliminary results of a project aiming to develop tools for adding sound associated to medical data are presented. The description of our sonification procedure is followed by two different examples. The first ... -
Aegis audio engine: integrating a real-time analog signal processing, pattern recognition, and a procedural soundtrack in a live twelve-perfomer spectacle with crowd participation
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)In the following paper we present Aegis: a procedural networked soundtrack engine driven by real-time analog signal analysis and pattern recognition. Aegis was originally conceived as part of Drummer Game, a ... -
Anthropometric tuning of a spherical head model for binaural virtual acoustics based on interaural level differences
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)In this paper we propose a method to customize a spherical head model for binaural sound rendering based on the listener’s anthropometry. Interaural level difference (ILD) information from a HRTF database is used to ... -
Auditory assistance for timing presentations
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)Every presentation has to end at some point. Signaling the approaching end of the presentation time in conferences is often accomplished by showing signs with the remaining time written on it, i.e., by visual contact. ... -
Auditory graph evolution by the example of spurious correlations
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)Auditory graphs can be seen as an alternative to visual graphs or as an additional element to display data. This paper will offer an approach on how a simple sound mapping can be improved into a mental model. The ironic ... -
Augmented audification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)We present a sonification method that blends between audification and auditory graphs which we call ”Augmented Audification”. It is based on a combination of single-side-band modulation and a pitch modulation of the ... -
Can auditory display help us categorize seismic signals?
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)Recordings of the Earth’s surface oscillation (seismograms) can be sonified such that most of the signal’s frequency spectrum falls in the audible range. Then, the pattern-recognition capabilities of the human auditory ... -
Chemical spectral analysis through sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)Chemical spectra are an important part of how research chemists analyse the outcomes of experiments. However these complex spectra can be very difficult and time consuming to analyse. This paper outlines an investigation ... -
Coloration metrics for headphone equalization
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)Headphone equalization is necessary for accurate binaural reproduction over headphones, but so far no metrics have been adopted for evaluating human perception of spectral coloration in post-equalization headphone ... -
Crafting sonifications: levels of interdisciplinary exchange in group discussions and their empirical assessment
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)This paper proposes a methodology to empirically assess the level of cross-disciplinary collaboration. Drawing on a variety of concepts established within Science & Technology Studies (STS), it develops an operationalization ... -
Creating spatial depth using distortion product optoacoustic emissions in music composition
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (also known as combination tones) are sounds generated within the listener’s ears upon physical and physiological interactions between spectral components in a given auditory ... -
Cultural differences in preference of auditory emoticons: USA and South Korea
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)For the last two decades, research on auditory displays and sonification has continuously increased. However, most research has focused on cognitive and functional mapping rather than emotional mapping. Moreover, there ... -
Data-to-music API: Real-time data-agnostic sonification with musical structure models
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, 2015-07)In sonification methodologies that aim to represent the underlying data accurately, musical or artistic approaches are often dismissed as being not transparent, likely to distort the data, not generalizable, or not ... -
