- Sturm, Roads, Mcleran and Shynk Win "Best Paper" Award at ICMC 08.
-
MAT Professor Curtis Roads and MAT graduate student Aaron Mcleran, along with with co-authors Professor John Shynk and graduate student Bob Sturm of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, have won the "Best Paper" award at the 2008 International Computer Music Conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The award will be presented at a banquet in August 2008 in Belfast.
Their paper "Analysis, Visualization, and Transformation of Audio Signals using Dictionary-based Methods", describes new ways of analyzing, visualizing, and manipulating audio signals based on "atomic decompositions". The research was enabled by new software developed by Aaron Mcleran that provides a real-time graphical interface for viewing and manipulating the atomic decomposition. Currently under development are algorithms for improving the analysis and for spatializing the result in the UCSB Allosphere.
Selected out of some 180 manuscripts, an extended version of the paper will be published in The Journal of New Music Research (Routledge).
The conference paper can be viewed at Prof. Roads's web site:
This research is partially sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
