Luke DuBois<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This class looks at &#8220;creative signal processing&#8221; in the same way we look at &#8220;creative coding&#8221; &#8211; celebrating our ability to manipulate signals &#8211; functions and blocks of information that travel across time, frequency, and space &#8211; in the wider context of human perception, communication, and culture. In this course, we will consider standard building blocks of signal processing &#8211; audio and image synthesis, time- and frequency-domain processing of audio signals, chromatic and spatial processing of images, and feature extraction for signal analysis &#8211; in the same context as human languages, writing systems, and cultures of generative and procedural design in music, performance, and visual art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project scope for the course is designed to be flexible and open-ended, allowing for students to develop projects ranging from guitar effects pedals to audio-visual plug-ins to preprocessing workflows for machine learning to toolkits relevant to integrating real-time data into interactive performance systems. Students will be assigned a series of short exercises around each general theme, and will be expected to develop a semester-length project. The class will use the Gen architecture of Max\/MSP\/Jitter to prototype algorithms for C++ and GLSL, with explorations into other coding environments, hardware circuits, and physical explorations of signal processing along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This class looks at &#8220;creative signal processing&#8221; in the same way we look at &#8220;creative coding&#8221; &#8211; celebrating our ability to manipulate signals &#8211; functions and blocks of information that travel across time, frequency, and space &#8211; in the wider context of human perception, communication, and culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6641,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-courses","category-tier-2-courses"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=833"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6696,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833\/revisions\/6696"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/itp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
