The Sound and Music Computing (SMC) group does research with the aim of understanding, modeling, and improving human interaction with sound and music. SMC is cross-disciplinary and combines engineering, design, signal processing and computer science with music perception, cognition, production and performance.
Our research in these areas investigates:
- sound synthesis
- analysis and processing
- new interfaces for musical expression and embodied interaction
- physics-based sound synthesis and control
- sound for multimodal environments and sonic interaction design
- music informatics and machine learning techniques
- multimedia programming and the design of novel forms audio and music related technologies.
Research spanning from health to arts
By exploring theoretical and practical frameworks, we aim to find applications in fields such as
- health and wellbeing, e.g. hearing aids and sound control
- music therapy for stroke & Parkinsons patients
- architecture, e.g. digital acoustics simulations and noise reduction
- music performance, e.g. augmented musical instruments and audio effects
- sound rendering and 3D-spatialization, e.g. VR/AR and entertainment
- digital media and the arts, e.g. algorithmic music composition and AI-assisted music production
