SCAPES: Semantically Conditioned Autoregressive Prior for Environmental Sounds
Esteban Gutiérrez, Lonce Wyse, Frederic Font +1
As generative audio models grow in complexity, the computational and ecological costs of synthesizing everyday sounds have become increasingly prohibitive, often requiring industri…
Architecture and Affordances of PLAUD: Performative Latents and Unsupervised DDSP
Błażej Kotowski, Frederic Font
PLAUD (Performative Latents and Unsupervised DDSP) is a neural synthesizer and Max for Live instrument for live electronic music, built on NoiseBandNet and trained on small persona…
When Pamplona sounds different: the soundscape transformation of San Fermin through intelligent acoustic sensors and a sound repository
Amaia Sagasti, Frederic Font
This study presents a use-case of a network of low-cost acoustic smart sensors deployed in the city of Pamplona to analyse changes in the urban soundscape during the San Fermin Fes…
Exploring Situated Stabilities of a Rhythm Generation System through Variational Cross-Examination
Błażej Kotowski, Nicholas Evans, Behzad Haki +2
This paper investigates GrooveTransformer, a real-time rhythm generation system, through the postphenomenological framework of Variational Cross-Examination (VCE). By reflecting on…
Generative AI and the Future of the Digital Commons: Five Open Questions and Knowledge Gaps

Evaluating Neural Networks Architectures for Spring Reverb Modelling
Francesco Papaleo, Xavier Lizarraga-Seijas, Frederic Font
Reverberation is a key element in spatial audio perception, historically achieved with the use of analogue devices, such as plate and spring reverb, and in the last decades with di…
FSD50K: An Open Dataset of Human-Labeled Sound Events
Eduardo Fonseca, Xavier Favory, Jordi Pons +2
Most existing datasets for sound event recognition (SER) are relatively small and/or domain-specific, with the exception of AudioSet, based on over 2M tracks from YouTube videos an…
The Freesound Loop Dataset and Annotation Tool
Antonio Ramires, Frederic Font, Dmitry Bogdanov +7
Music loops are essential ingredients in electronic music production, and there is a high demand for pre-recorded loops in a variety of styles. Several commercial and community dat…
Search Result Clustering in Collaborative Sound Collections
Xavier Favory, Frederic Font, Xavier Serra
