![Alex Harker: Meaningless Numbers? Using Audio Descriptors in a Musical Manner [30.10.2018]
Alex Harker talks about the use of audio descriptors in creative work. He examines what audio descriptors are, and how they can be used to control realtime processes or aid the construction of music from sample databases. The topic is examined from both a technical viewpoint and a musical one, with a particular highlight on the issues that arise from naïve assumptions about what might occur when we apply descriptor analysis to real world musical situations, even those which might seem simple.
