Download Feedback Implementation Within a Complex Event Generation System for Emergent Sonic Structures This paper discusses the implementation of a complex event generation model with a simple feedback loop and its sound synthesis results while investigating the overall system behaviour. The system is based on the Cosmos model, which is a self similar structure, and distributes events on different time-scales with certain interdependency. The user intervenes with the system in real-time by inputting a live sound source and interacting with the user interface by controlling the parameters for the time scales macro, meso and micro. Because of the complex dynamic behaviour and modulation scheme, it is possible to create a timbre space of unique textures.
Download Synthesis of a Macro Sound Structure within a Self Organizing System This paper is focused on synthesizing macro-sound structures with certain ecological attributes to obtain perceptually interesting and compositionally useful results. The system, which delivers the sonic result is designed as a self organizing system. Certain principles of cybernetics are critically assessed in the paper in terms of interdependencies among system components, system dynamics and the system/environment coupling. It is aiming towards a self evolution of an ecological kind, applying an interactive exchange with its external conditions. The macro-organization of the sonic material is a result of interactions of events at a meso and micro level but also this exchange with its environment. The goal is to formulate some new principles and present its sketches here by arriving to a network of concepts suggesting new ideas in sound synthesis.
