Objectives
The goal of this project is to develop an elegant, general and unifying strategy for a block-wise design of nonlinear physical and pseudo-physical models in sound synthesis. The project focused on two application scenarios : 1. Virtual musical instruments: object-based acoustic interactions between functional elements in musical acoustics. 2. Physical modelling of sounds in virtual reality: multi-modal object-based virtual acoustics
