    Interactive Swarm Orchestra

    Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology (ICST)

    «Interactive Swarm Orchestra» explores the employment of flocking algorithms to control sound synthesis and sound spatialiation. The project has developed both conceptual and practical tools that help in the creation of swarm based computer music The conceptual result includes guidelines and strategies for creating aesthetically meaningful relationships betweem swarm behavior and musical structure. The practical output of the project is a series of C++ libraries.
