Abstract

The history of recording is often characterized as a history
of improving audio quality whereas the notion of sonic
cartoons requires us to re-think it as a history of clarity
and the creation of schematic representations. Using the
ecological approach to perception and embodied
cognition, we will consider the invariant properties of
various acoustic phenomena as a way of developing a
range of strategies for semantic audio processing. In this
context, semantic audio processing refers to plug-ins that
utilize semantic descriptors to control multiple parameters.
An example of this might be Waves’ Tony Maserati
Signature Series which provide controls with labels such
as ‘thump’ and ‘snap’. The notion of sonic cartoons
provides a framework for a much more nuanced
application of this approach.
