TAPESTREA : Techniques And Paradigms for Expressive Synthesis, Transformation, and Rendering of Environmental Audio

what is it? : TAPESTREA (or taps) is a unified framework for analyzing,
transforming and synthesizing complex environmental sounds. Given one or more recordings, it provides well-defined means to: (1) identify points of interest in the sound and extract them into reusable templates, (2) transform sound components independently of the background and/or other events, (3) continually resynthesize the background texture in a perceptually convincing manner, (4) controllably place event templates over backgrounds, using a novel graphical user interface and/or ChucK scripts, and (5) leverage similarity based retrieval to locate other
interesting sound components.

Taps makes it possible to completely transform a sound scene, dynamically generate sound scenes of unlimited length, and construct new scenes or compositions by combining elements from different recordings.

who it is for: audio/multimedia researchers, sound designers, developers, composers, and performers
