Thanks, Prof. Josh Reiss Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London ----- Nemisindo (the Zulu word for 'sounds') is a start-up company delivering sou= nd design services. https://youtu.be/j-pVTN5lhuM<https://eur01.safelinks.pr= otection.outlook.com/?url=3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2Fj-pVTN5lhuM&data=3D04%= 7C01%7C%7C5536fee32e4e4b67d9e708d966225df6%7C569df091b01340e386eebd9cb9e258= 14%7C0%7C0%7C637653120062349341%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDA= iLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=3DMbEEfNuaw7KP= SjWcelXF5i%2FBVNHuEV4Zyj0IxqNehnc%3D&reserved=3D0> gives an overview of wh= o we are and what we do. We just launched an online sound design service built around procedural aud= io. Check it out at https://nemisindo.com<https://eur01.safelinks.protectio= n.outlook.com/?url=3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fnemisindo.com%2F&data=3D04%7C01%7C%7C553= 6fee32e4e4b67d9e708d966225df6%7C569df091b01340e386eebd9cb9e25814%7C0%7C0%7C= 637653120062349341%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2lu= MzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=3D75ZYse5Y36pS3sIvU4M30o2SW= nSpPHwoqzEnkq14CHQ%3D&reserved=3D0> . Anyone can use it, and registered use= rs can download sounds for free. The service allows users to create sound effects for games, film and VR wit= hout the need for vast libraries of sounds. The platform provides a browser= -based service with tools to create sounds from around 70 classes (engines,= footsteps, explosions...) and 700 preselected settings (diesel generator e= ngine, motorbike, Jetsons jet...). It can create almost any sound effect fr= om scratch, in real-time, based on intuitive controls guided by the user. I= f someone wants a 'whoosh' sound for their game, or footsteps, gunshots, a = dripping faucet, raging fire or applauding audience, they just tell the sys= tem what they're looking for and adjust the sound while it's being created. Nemisindo's platform can also generate sounds that have never been recorded= ; a dragon roaring, for instance, light sabres swinging and space cannons f= iring. These sound effects can be shaped and crafted at the point of creati= on by the user, breaking through limitations of sampled sounds. Nemisindo's vision is that if one can create any sound effect, then one can= procedurally generate almost all sounds in a game, create soundscapes base= d on sounds that have never been heard before, or have every object in a vi= rtual reality capable of generating sounds that adapt to changing condition= s.
