Roadmap for SMC - Sound and Music Computing
A European consortium has drafted a roadmap for the future of sound and music computing (SMC), which provides the core technologies for the burgeoning electronic music industry
Drawing on inspiration from hard sciences like physics and engineering, social sciences like psychology and musicology, and the creative arts, digital musical instruments, CDs, MP3s and other innovative ICTs owe a great debt to SMC.
The new roadmap published by the S2S² project aims to maximise SMC's growth potential.
Five key challenges have been identified by the roadmap:
Design better sound objects and environments (improving the sounds produced by objects present in our environment to enhance their emotional character).
Understand, model and improve human interaction with sound and music.
Train multidisciplinary researchers in a multicultural society.
Improve knowledge transfer.
Address social concerns.
