Academic interests

Investigating ways to facilitate unbounded discovery of interesting sounds, to supply more sonic material than one can ask for. Curious to know if sounds discovered beyond the boundaries of prompting generative models, trained on existing data, can lead to creations that would otherwise not be conceived. Exploring the application of quality diversity algorithms as a foundation of a sound innovation engine. Looking into methods for the search and discovery of diverse patterns. Pondering how those patterns can be applied to the generation of sound and rhythm. Considering what modes of interaction with the sounds are well suited to open up possibilities for creative discoveries.
