"Can Picasso think in shapes?" - A Distinguished Lecture by Carmine Emanuele Cella, from University of California, Berkeley (United States of America), presented as part of the IRCAM Forum Hors les murs
This talk will present my recent work in searching for good signal representations that permit high-level manipulation of musical concepts. After the definition of a geometric approach to signal representation, I will present my theory of sound-types and its application to music. Finally, I will propose musical applications including assisted orchestration and augmented instruments.
