Doctoral student in Sound and Music Computing
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Stockholm, Sweden
Project description
Third-cycle subject: Media Technology
The project you will work in is funded by the Swedish agency
Vetenskapsrådet, and is titled "Historically informed design of sound
synthesis". Based on a forgotten treasure, the Elektronmusikstudion
(EMS) collection of historical analog synthesizers from the 60ies and
70ies, we aim to create a series of digital electronic music instruments
enabling different expressions and instrumental forms. Your task will be
to explore the collection, to implement digital emulations of some of
the instruments, and to develop user interfaces for them. You will then
collaborate with artists at the royal college of music (KMH) to use
these instruments within new compositions, and conduct user tests with
online communities.Your work will take place at the Division of Media
Technology and Interaction design (MID), in the Sound and Music
Computing (SMC) team. You will collaborate with the Royal College of
Music and with the organization hosting the synthesizer collection
(Musikverket). In addition, you will be able to apply for short term
scientific missions to visit partners in the Nordic SMC network during
your studies.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Andre Holzapfel
(main supervisor), Sandra Pauletto (co-supervisor, KTH), Henrik Frisk,
(co-supervisor, KMH), Dan Lundberg (co-supervisor, Musikverket).
