Astree

Analysis and Synthesis of Real-Time Sound Processing

The Astree project has two long-term goals: the creation of a linguistic platform and of a knowledge base.

The Astree project aspires to develop a linguistic platform that is common to various systems used in contemporary computer music creation, without forcing artists to change platforms - in the near future, at least. The project attempts to create a complete signal processing chain that includes original expressions, the transformation of the original expression, its analysis, its representation in Faust language (a language developed by GRAME since 2000), the generation of a documentation of a standardized quality, and the constitution of a knowledge base on these processes.

Today, there is no such linguistic platform, although a few remote attempts have been made to create transformation systems (e.g. from Max/MSP to PureData, or the reverse) or platforms such as the ones developed during the Integra project.
