Interaction of acoustic and virtual musical instruments using synthesis models and their inversions

该项目的目的是建立一个框架，使科学研究人员(Smyth)和专业音乐家(Miller)可以在制作新媒体艺术作品的所有研究、开发和创作阶段进行合作，通过传统乐器和虚拟乐器的互动编排，互动地探索人类音乐制作与动物、鸟类和人类声音交流之间的关系。合成/控制参数将直接根据演奏乐器产生的声音进行估计，使该技术对演奏者和观众都是透明的。

The aim of this project is create a framework whereby scientific researcher (Smyth) and professional musician (Miller) may work collaboratively throughout all the research, development and creative stages in the production of a new media artistic work that interactively explores the relationship between human music production and animal, avian and human vocal communication, orchestrated by interacting traditional and virtual musical instruments. Synthesis/control parameters are to be estimated directly from the sound produced by performed instruments, making the technology transparent to both player and audience.
