We present an overview of digital audio analysis and synthesis methods for sound design
and composition. The sonic landscape available to us contains a multitude of sounds …

Stochastic, or nonpitched, sounds fill our real-world environment. Humans almost
continuously hear stochastic sounds, such as wind, rain, motor sounds, and different types of …

This research focuses on the generation of soundscapes using unstructured sound
databases for the sonification of virtual environments. A generalized methodology for design …

This paper describes three psychoacoustic experiments that evaluated the perceptual
quality of sounds generated from a new wavelet-based synthesis technique. The synthesis …

Environmental texture sounds are an integral, though often overlooked, part of our daily life.
They constitute those elements of our sounding environment that we tend to perceive …

Sound is a critical component of multimodal representations of information in virtual
environments. Our research program continues to develop and evaluate sound software …

This paper describes a new approach for creating compelling virtual acoustic environments
by synthesizing and three-dimensionally localizing sounds within the wavelet-domain. A …

TAPESTREA is a sound design and composition framework that facilitates the creation of
new sound from existing digital audio recordings, through interactive analysis …

Many sounds that surround us and that we perceive in our daily lives have textural
properties–yet sound texture it is a term difficult to define, because the sounds subsumed …
