SoundGrasp: A gestural interface for the performance of live music (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper documents the first developmental phase of an interface that enables the performance of live music using gestures and body movements. The work included focuses on the first step of this project: the composition and performance of live musi... Read More about SoundGrasp: A gestural interface for the performance of live music.

An exploration of evolutionary computation applied to frequency modulation audio synthesis parameter optimisation (2010)
Thesis

With the ever-increasing complexity of sound synthesisers, there is a growing demand for automated parameter estimation and sound space navigation techniques. This thesis explores the potential for evolutionary computation to automatically map known...

Evolutionary sound matching: A test methodology and comparative study (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

With the ever-increasing complexity of sound synthesisers, there is a growing demand for automated parameter estimation and sound space navigation techniques. Recent research in this domain has focused on the application of general-purpose evolutiona... Read More about Evolutionary sound matching: A test methodology and comparative study.

A comparison of evolution-strategy based methods for frequency modulated musical tone timbre matching (2006)
Book Chapter

We evaluate two Evolution Strategy-based optimisation algorithms that are known to perform well with multi-modal fitness landscapes, comparing them with each other and a standard Evolution Strategy. We apply these algorithms to a simple FM synthesise... Read More about A comparison of evolution-strategy based methods for frequency modulated musical tone timbre matching.

Frequency modulation tone matching using a fuzzy clustering evolution strategy (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Frequency Modulation parameter estimation has provided a continual challenge to researchers since its first application to audio synthesis over thirty years ago. Recent research has made use of basic evolutionary optimisation algorithms to evolve sou... Read More about Frequency modulation tone matching using a fuzzy clustering evolution strategy.

Convergence synthesis of dynamic frequency modulation tones using an evolution strategy (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper reports on steps that have been taken to enhance previously presented evolutionary sound matching work. In doing so, the convergence characteristics are shown to provide a synthesis method that produces interesting sounds. The method imple...

Leimu: Gloveless music interaction using a wrist mounted leap motion
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Camera-based motion tracking has become a popular enabling technology for gestural human-computer interaction. However, the approach suffers from several limitations, which have been shown to be particularly problematic when employed within musical c...
