This paper proposes a music representation for collaborative music creation using shared repositories of audio samples. We explore the use of the graph grammar formalism to organize collective work on musical compositions stored as graphs of samples, ...

The music we like (i.e. our musical preferences) encodes and communicates key information about ourselves. Depicting such preferences in a condensed and easily understandable way is very appealing, especially considering the current trends in social ...

Expertise in sound design for games is still a privilege of senior designers. The broad community of independent game developers remains mostly challenged by small budgets and lack of know-how, while trying to integrate sound in their games.

This paper is an attempt to analyse and explain the 'design decision making' behind iSpooks, an audio based adventure game for the iPhone. The game utilizes audio as its principle mechanism for driving the gameplay. The design and production team ...

This paper presents an experiment testing which sound parameters, in a survival horror game context, most warrant further investigation as a means to control the level of fear in such games. The experiment is part of a long-term study ultimately ...

This paper discusses the relevance of performativity and the need for improvisational methods in sound design for interactive commodities. Both the impact on design methods and on the evaluation of experience prototypes are investigated. Several sound ...

Physics-based sound synthesis represents a promising paradigm for the design of a veridical and effective continuous feedback in augmented everyday contexts. In this paper, we introduce the Sound Design Toolkit (SDT), a software package available as a ...
