Using sound-shape associations to build a sketch-based sound synthesiser
Humans are surprisingly good at creating mental images of sound. However, sound-design tools are not always
intuitive when it comes to realising an idea in a straightforward way.
When describing a sound, we often refer to associations with other areas like colour, movement or light.
This project looks deeper into how people express their sound ideas through shapes and forms.
These findings are used to build a system that produces sound based on a simple sketch input. This approach allows anyone to
explore, find and produce sounds in a simple and direct way.
