Design sonore
Objectifs pédagogiques
À l’issue de la formation, le stagiaire aura acquis une connaissance spécifique du domaine du design sonore et des démarches scientifiques et technologiques qui peuvent lui être associées. Il pourra mettre en place les différentes étapes d’une nouvelle démarche de design sonore allant de l’analyse d’un cahier des charges à la proposition d’une solution sonore en passant par l’élaboration d’un scénario d’usage et par une phase d’explicitation fondée sur la notion de croquis sonore.
Public concerné
Designers sonores, artistes sonores, étudiants dans le domaine des métiers du son
Prérequis
Maîtrise d'un séquenceur logiciel (type ProTools ou LogicAudio) et d'un éditeur de sons (type Audacity) ;
Maîtrise de la manipulation informatique sur Macintosh (OS X).
Évaluation
Évaluation de fin de stage (30 min) sous la forme d’un QCM.
Programme de la formation
This course offers participants the opportunity to conceive the sounds for an object of tomorrow based on the object itself, a group of sketches, or a video support that presents its principle phases of use.
The program features several distinct steps: reflection on new uses that could be enhanced by sounds, elaboration of scenarios and sound sketches, proposition and recording of sounds, processing these sounds using sound synthesis tools to create an audiovisual work that will be assessed in terms of specific criteria defined in the beginning of the project.
This project and its methodology use skills from different disciplines—acoustic, psychoacoustic, sound signal processing, experimental psychology—that are also addressed during the course.
Tuesday
| Morning | Introduction, presentation and analysis of a case study: - General introduction to the class - Introductory. |
| Afternoon | Environments and tools for sound creation: - Use an environment for the production of a sound sketch based on vocal production - Use editing software (Ableton Live) - Use IRCAM technologies for sound processing (Ircamax plugins). |
Wednesday
| Morning | Introduction to sound design, basics and principles: - History and general concepts - Connection with psychoacoustics - Methodologies. |
| Afternoon | Case study: presentation of a fictional project and its conception - Study and analyze the requirements of a project - Inspiration and generation of ideas. |
Thursday
| Morning | Case study: realization of the 1st step of the project - Production of sketches and sound sketches using a software environment developed during the SKAT-VG project. |
| Afternoon | Case study: realization of the 2nd step of the project - Work and transformation of the sketches: refine selected sketches at the end of step 1 in Live with processing plugins - Final editing and the sound solution. |
Friday
| Morning | Case study: presentation and comparison of the different projects - Presentation of the project: summarizing ideas on which the project is based, present them visually and/or with an audio support, defend the ideas - Collective presentation and analysis by students and teachers. |
| Afternoon | Discussion, assessment, conclusion: - Presentation of a real case study - Assessment of knowledge acquired during the training - Conclusion and wrap-up. |
