Date and time: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 - 12:00
Place: CCSL Auditorium, IME/USP
Abstract: In the context of the study and development of computational systems for composition and interactive performance with multimodal content, this talk presents the ongoing research which aims at implementing a computational infrastructure for an Interactive Media and Digital Immersion Lab at NICS/Unicamp. The system under development at the Center of Autonomous Systems and Neurorobotics (NRAS) of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain) generates, controla and shares through the Internet a process for multimodal artistic creation. During this talk the overview of the work and the implemented model will be presented, and in the second part the results obtained from a prototype using VPN between the two Labs will be shown. This research has the support of FAPESP, grant 15/07084-0.

Speaker: Joseph Timoney, National University of Ireland - Maynooth
Date and time: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 - 12:00
Place: CCSL Auditorium, IME/USP
Abstract: An enhancing effect that can be applied to analogue oscillators in subtractive synthesizers is termed Animation, which is an efficient way to create a sound of many closely detuned oscillators playing in unison. This is often referred to as a supersaw oscillator. In this seminar we will explain the operating principle of this effect in the digital domain using a combination of additive and frequency modulation synthesis. The Fourier series will be derived and results will be presented to demonstrate its accuracy. This will then provide new insights into how other more general waveform animation processors can be designed. Audio examples from the isolated supersaw waveform and also within some dance music excerpts will illustrate the sound possibilities using the technique.

Speaker: Guilherme Feulo
Date and time: Wednesday, October 14, 2015 - 12:00
Place: Auditório do CCSL, IME/USP
Abstract: With recent technology advances, the search for new ways to interact with electronic devices as computers, Videogames or Smartphones, have been creating new interfaces with a set of different applications and low costs. In this seminar we will present some "Do It Yourself" (DIY) brain-computer interfaces trough Electroencephalography (EEG), their basic project and the variations that can be found in the Internet.
