DAWN 04: MUSIC TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS

Mark Kenny

Biography:
Having taken a well deserved year off after four years doing a Computer Systems degree in UL, I decided that I had not had enough punishment and signed up for more in the guise of Music Technology.  I have always been interested in how sound works, in particular digital audio so it seemed to be the choice to be made...

Project Description:
GA Synth
Coupling a background of computer science and music technology, I decided to design and code a virtual synthesiser that uses Genetic Algorithms.  The synth is implemented in PD with the GA embedded into a PD external object.  The user is able to rate sounds in order to evolve the Genetic Algorithm.  The synth uses subtractive synthesis technique with the GA controlling filter parameters.
