“…Another important feature of ACI is that technology has enabled the development of novel tools for designers, such as automated systems and machine learning (ML) algorithms for recognition of behavioral patterns. For example, ML has been used to support the investigation of musicality in birds, through synthesis of budgerigar songs from samples ( 144 ). Zamansky et al( 145 ) provide an overview of ACI research methods, emphasizing the benefits to the ACI community of remaining open to methodologies from different fields.…”

This paper seeks to expand traditional aesthetic dimensions of design beyond the limits of human capability in order to encompass other species' sensory modalities. To accomplish this, the idea of inclusivity is extended beyond human cultural and personal identities and needs, to embrace multi-species experiences of places, events and interactions in the world. This involves drawing together academic perspectives from ecology, neuroscience, anthropology, philosophy and interaction design, as well as exploring artistic perspectives and demonstrating how these different frames of reference can inspire and complement each other. This begins with a rationale for the existence of non-human aesthetics, followed by an overview of existing research into non-human aesthetic dimensions. Novel aesthetic categories are proposed and the challenge of how to include non-human aesthetic sensibility in design is discussed.

“…Online tools for bird sound synthesis using WebAudio were developed by Chinmay Pendharkar 2 . Probabilistic techniques have shown a lot of promise through the work of Katahira et al [4], Bonada et al [5] and Gutscher et al [6]. More recently, machine learning has been employed [7].…”

On Board Call: A Gestural Wildlife Imitation Machine

Nime 2022

The On Board Call is a bespoke musical interface designed to engage the general public's interest in wildlife sounds-such as bird, frog or animal calls-through imitation and interaction. The device is a handheld, battery-operated, microprocessorbased machine that synthesizes sounds using frequency modulation synthesis methods.It includes a small amplifier and loudspeaker for playback and employs an accelerometer and force sensor that register gestural motions that control sound parameters in real time. The device is handmade from off-the-shelf components onto a specially designed PCB and laser cut wooden boards. Development versions of the device have been tested in wildlife listening contexts and in location-based ensemble performance. The device is simple to use, compact and inexpensive to facilitate use in community-based active listening workshops intended to enhance user's appreciation of the eco acoustic richness of natural environments. Unlike most of the previous work in wildlife call imitation, the Call does not simply play back recorded wildlife sounds, it is designed for performative interaction by a user to bring synthesized sounds to life and imbue them with expression.
