Seminar: "Simulating the human voice, and voicing to simulate - a
presentation of on-going EU projects”
Speaker: Dr. Sten Ternström and Pétur Helgason, KTH
Place: room Munin
Timtetable: 12:05h-13:00h, April 4, 2014
Abstract:
KTH is currently partner in two EU FET-Open
consortia in which research on the human voice is carried to extremes. In
EUNISON, seven research groups are collaborating on "Extensive
UNIfied-domain SimulatiON of the voice", creating an experimentally
validated, physics-based cutting-edge computer model of the sound production in
the voice. And in the project "Sketching Audio Technologies using Voice
and Gestures", a design support system is being developed that aims to
enable sound designers to sketch new sounds using their own voice and hands.
Prof. Sten Ternström at KTH Speech, Music and Hearing coordinates EUNISON, and
leads a work package in SkAT-VG. He will give an overview of these projects and
of the many interesting ideas that carry them forward (www.eunison.eu, www.skatvg.eu).
