Teaching at Junia/ISEN
Musique & Technologie (Music & Technology)
I am the coordinator of "Music & Tech" curriculum. Any student from ISEN (soon from Junia?) with an interest in music can join us and spend their Thursday afternoon doing things between technology and music: sound design, sound recording, creativity, acoustics, sound synthesis, electronics & embedded audio systems, video programming, sonification... The aim is to acquire the same knowledge and learn the same know-how as in more "classical" classes... but with a direct application to music!
For current students, this year's schedule is now available here
Some student projects that I supervised, in relationship with my research activities...
Instrumented ball for music production (2024-2025, 6 5th-year students)
The team: Hana Delport, Perrine Demey, Gabriel Louchart, Maxence Louchet, Amadou Ibra Ndiaye, Caroline Slimani.
A ball (that can be used and played with as any ball: juggle, bounce, hit, throw, ...) equiped with many sensors (whose output is used for controlling sound synthesis algorithms).
"TOuch ThE Music" Hardware design (2022-2023, 4 5th-year students)
The team: Maxence Dupuis, Guillaume Gulli, Laure-Anne Hénaff, Julien Rouaix.
These four efficiently contributed to designing and making the box that contains all the hardware for TOTEM devices, allowing each user to freely move during the concert while enjoying vibration from their device.
"TOuch ThE Music" Design of a user interface (2022-2023, 6 4th-year students)
The team: Alexandre Potez, Flora Cousin, Hugo Heneman, Jérôme Rascle, Pierre Villain, Valentin Mavet.
Automatic classification of stethoscope signals (2020-2021, 5 4th-year students)
(co-supervision with Samuel Deleplanque & Mohamed-Rida Benissa) The team: Mehdi Bakhouy, Grégoire De Clercq, Arnaud Françoise, Marthe Sheila Gnitedemg , Julien Van Miegem. From an annotated data base provided by our partner (M.D.), derive guidelines for the implementation of supervised and unsupervised algorithms for the automatic detection of lung and respiratory diseases, as well as heart rate troubles.
Sim-Pathie (Simulation of pathologies) (2019-2020, 5 4th-year students)
(co-supervision with Olivier Cros) The team: Alexis Bard , Solène Corre, François Cresson, Matthieu Heras, Coralie Joscht. First thing: they won the award of best student project at Junia! The idea (inspired by the work of the Fédération des Aveugles et Amblyopes de France which developed EyeView , and in partnership with la Compagnie Sacadés ) was to develop an mobile app that simulates perceptual handicap, in particular visual impairment (process the image from the camera to simulate some vision pathologies like glaucoma, retinopathy, etc.) and auditory impairment (process the sound from the microphone to simulate hearing losses, tinnitus, etc.).
Echolocation (2017, 2 4th-year students)
On the topic of awareness of perceptual impairment, Louis Delarue and Benoît Pepin developed a video game in which the player should find her way through the exit of a maze... but only with audio cues! The game simulate echolocation: The player can send brief sounds (like tongue clicks) that will return to her ears with an attenuation and filtering corresponding to the position of walls on the left, front, right, rear direction. For this project, we have to acknowledge the work of Wu, Morina, Schenker, Gotsis, Chivukula, Gardner, Liu, Barton, Woyach, Sinopoli, Grover and Heller , "EchoExplorer: A game app for understanding echolocation and learning to navigate using echo cues" for inspiring this project. The Python source codes of the game will be available soon!
Touch the music (2018-2019, 5 4th-year students)
The team: Alexandre Antoine, Quentin Consigny , Charles Goudaert, Hector Guerin . As a prelude to EU-funded research project "Totem" , first developments of a device (both software and hardware) that transforms musical/audio signals into vibrations, mainly for deaf people willing to attend live music performances.
VoiceToMidi (2018, 4 3rd-year students)
Students involved: Hubert Milliotte , Germain Paresys , Philémon Roubaud , and Hedi Zekri . An app that sends MIDI messages based on the real-time analysis of voice audio streams.
