Subject: In search of Basic Pedagogical Audio Material From: Olivier Tache <olivier.tache@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2006 16:26:53 +0100Dear all, Within a very short (2 days) course on Sound Synthesis, I would like to introduce the very basics of psycoacoustics.... in something like 1 hour, or less ! I already have the sufficient scientific background & material. Unfortunately I have no exemplary sound. Would anyone have a WWW pointer, or a CD reference, that would help me finding such basic exemplary sounds ? I would be particularly interested in sound examples on : - perception of Timbre (3D timbre space, suppression of attacks or of spectral enveloppe evolution, emergence of several instruments by applying vibrato...) - sound localization, room and space perception - perception of pitch (of sine sounds, to begin) - eventually auditory illusions Note that I don't plan on offering a deep introduction to psychouacoustics at all. Basically, the simple message I would like to transmit to learners is that audio perception is something complex, sometimes astonishing. I did not find such www pointers in the list archive, nor on google. I consider generally that asking for pedagogical material is not very nice... I allow myself to do so in that case because the core topic of my course is not psychoacoustics, and because I am only looking for the basics. Hope you'll understand ! I thank you all in advance, all the best, Olivier Tache -- Olivier Tache Associate Researcher - Doctorate Applicant Laboratoire Informatique et Création Artistique INPG, 46, av.
