Sound Design course
April 7-10, 2009
Explore the form and function of sound in an industrial sound design context
From Tuesday, 7 to Friday, April 10, 2009, 10am-1pm and 2:30pm-5:30pm / IRCAM

Registration

Prerequisite
Basic knowledge of acoustics and sound perception, experience with a sound sequencer such as Peak.
Main goals
Bringing together the rigueur of scientific study and the ingenuity of artistic creation, this course focuses on several different points:
* Discussion of acoustic, psychoacoustic, experimental psychology, and cognitive science theories applied to sound perception;
* Exercises using specific computer tools that address the most important techniques for computer-assisted sound edition, analysis, and
synthesis;
* Special sessions are held to present different professional sound design projects and applications; these sessions will be based on
projects carried out by the team at IRCAM, but will also feature other speakers;
* A personal project carried out during the course will let the student put the skills learned into practice in a three-step design process:
perceptive analysis (specifications), sound creation (prototypes), and perceptive validation.
The emphasis of the personal project will be placed on the function of sound, on the ability to consider sound as a means for communicating
important information about the functioning of an object of the operation of a complex system (man-machine interfaces, databases). The sound
is analyzed and designed to communicate and help the user: signals inside a car, navigation through a public space, or even multi-modal
interaction with an object.
The issue of form will also be addressed in terms of aesthetics and emotion, causing students to describe sound characteristics both in
semantic terms and in terms of favored expression.
Upon completion of this program, participants will have acquired an understanding of the methods for experimentation in the domain of
perception and sound synthesis, a methodology for carrying out their own sound design project applied to the study of the function of sound,
and basic notions of sound synthesis, processing, and mixing.
