Situated at the convergence of art, science, and technology, sound design is an aesthetic and functional process: conceive sounds and integrate them in a space, a manufactured product, or a digital interface. Compose based on a finality, on a use, and on perception. The domains covered are multiple, from urban planning to communication, from the fabrication of objects to the emergence of new uses.
The scientists from the Sound Perception and Design team at IRCAM will present their projects applied to industrial sectors, born from a close partnership between scientists and composers. Issues surrounding training and professionalization will also be addressed and a workshop on applied sound design lets participants understand the subtlety and difficulties of a sound design production.
Participants: Sound Design and Perception team IRCAM-STMS with Olivier Houix, researcher, Marco Liuni, researcher and computer music designer, Nicolas Misdariis, researcher, team leader, and Patrick Susini, research director ; Clément Cerles, IRCAM sound engineer ; Andrea Cera, Roque Rivas, composers ; Pierre Navarron, sound designer.
