• [hal-05102295] Acoustic Augmentation of the Trumpet – Navigating Control and Unpredictability in a Long-Term Research-Creation Collaboration

  7 juin, par ano.nymous@ccsd.cnrs.fr.invalid (Nicolas Souchal), Nicolas Souchal
  We describe an audio-augmented trumpet that mainly uses the sound of the instrument itself to control sound processing, unlike typical sensor-based augmented instruments. Using real-time sound analysis driving sound processing such as additive synthesis, resonators, and auto-convolution, we explore human/augmented-instrument relationships that introduce unpredictability, navigating between moments of control and moments of adaptation to situations of non-control, which is particularly relevant to the practice of improvisation. During this long-term research--creation collaboration, we developed the most musically relevant analysis-to-synthesis mappings. Adopting a practice-based approach, grounded in auto-ethnographic principles, enabled the adaptation and refinement of technological development driven by musical needs, extending beyond simple audio effects into a realm where the acoustic environment becomes less predictable and more of a partner in improvisation.
