Computer assisted sound design

Audio Metaphor is a pipeline of computational tools for generating artificial soundscapes. The pipeline includes modules for audio file search, segmentation and classification, and mixing. The input for the pipeline is a sentence, a desired duration, and curves for pleasantness and eventfulness. Each module can be used independently, or in unison to generate soundscape from a sentence.

Audio Metaphor is an interactive system that presents itself as a search engine in which the audience is invited to enter an expression or a sentence that will serve as a request to an automatic soundscape generation system. Enter “The waterfalls inundate the city” or “The marshmallows explode in the campfire” and it will sound like it in quadraphonic!  Using state of the art algorithms, Audio Metaphor is a powerful system that generates believable soundscape at interactive rate. The piece points at issues around big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning and other technoscientific advances, and their impact on our perception and experience of the world.
