“…Finally, sound design tools aimed at covering the semantic gap problem are being explored, especially to empower non-experts to access internal representations of sound and to span vast sound design spaces [8]. A lexicon of 35 verbal descriptors of the salient morphological characteristics of sound (i.e., basic psychoacoustic features, timbre, and temporal descriptions) was validated and conceptualised in a pack of cards as well in a software interface to facilitate the communication between sound designers and non-experts [5]. Co-Explorer is a software tool that exploits reinforcement learning algorithms to enable creative human(s)machine partnerships in the exploration of high-dimensional, parametric sound spaces [34].…”

Sound-driven design is an emerging, human-centered design practice informed by technology and listening in the multisensory dimension of interaction. In this paper we present a discourse analysis approach aimed at qualitatively understanding the constituent concepts of such a practice, by means of semi-structured interviews with sound designers, design researchers, engineers and expert users in the context of critical care. Preliminary results show that sound-driven design is inherently embodied, situated, and participatory, that the four categories of interviewees equally contribute to the definition of the design problem, and yet that a clear, shared arena is still missing. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Interaction design theory, concepts and paradigms; Participatory design; • General and reference → Surveys and overviews.

“…Then, a lexicon -called afterwards SpeaK -that includes a list of 37 words was developed as an application displaying each word with a definition and sound examples in different categories (musical instruments, voices, environmental sounds, etc.). Within Carron's work, this operational tool was used as a training environment before a sound indexing task but also as a support for codesign sessions [17].…”

The paper presents a specific sound design process implemented upon a collaboration with an important stakeholder of the wine (Champagne) industry. The goal of the project was to link sound properties with oenological dimensions in order to compose a sonic environment able to realise a multisensory experience during the wine tasting protocol. This creation has resulted from a large scale methodological approach based on the semantic transformation concept (from wine words to sound words) and deployed by means of a codesign method-after having shared respective skills of each field (sound and oenology). A precise description of the workflow is detailed in the paper, The outcomes of the work are presented, either in terms of realisation or conceptual knowledge acquisition. Then, future perspectives for the following of the work are sketched, especially regarding the notion of evaluation. The whole approach is finally put in the broad conceptual framework of 'sciences of sound design' that is developed and argued in the light of this study.

“…Perception of tone quality is very subjective, and it is likely to be defined by different adjectives by listeners [28]. The same subjectivity applies to producing sound with the mouthpiece and its associated playability, since the vocal tract of the player has an essential role in these [29][30][31].…”

Towards 3D printed saxophone mouthpiece personalization: Acoustical analysis of design variations

et al. 2021

Saxophonists have different expectations from the saxophone mouthpiece, as it significantly affects the playability and the sound of the instrument. A mass personalization paradigm provides unique products to cater to their needs, using the flexibility of additive manufacturing. The lack of quantitative knowledge on mouthpiece design hinders the personalization attempts. This study aims to lay out how design parameters affect mouthpiece characteristics. Twenty-seven 3D-printed mouthpieces with varying design parameters are used in conjunction with an artificial blowing machine, to determine the acoustical relevance of the various mouthpiece designs on four selected mouthpiece features. The influence of the design parameters is evaluated statistically and via a case study with five saxophonists. The analysis shows that seven out of nine parameters tested affect the mouthpiece characteristics by relatively different amounts. A user study demonstrates that saxophonists confirm the results in 7 of 10 cases, and they prefer personalized mouthpieces in 4 of 5 cases. The results present a key contribution to the understanding of mouthpiece design. The findings provide valuable insights for new mouthpiece design and mouthpiece personalization.
