Doctoral student in Sound and Music Computing KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden Project description Third-cycle subject: Media Technology The project you will work in is funded by the Swedish agency Vetenskapsrådet, and is titled “Historically informed design of sound synthesis”. Based on a forgotten treasure, the Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) collection of historical analog synthesizers from the 60ies and 70ies, we aim to create a series of digital electronic music instruments enabling different expressions and instrumental forms. Your task will be to explore the collection, to implement digital emulations of some of the instruments, and to develop user interfaces for them. You will then collaborate with artists at the royal college of music (KMH) to use these instruments within new compositions, and conduct user tests with online communities.Your work will take place at the Division of Media Technology and Interaction design (MID), in the Sound and Music Computing (SMC) team. You will collaborate with the Royal College of Music and with the organization hosting the synthesizer collection (Musikverket). In addition, you will be able to apply for short term scientific missions to visit partners in the Nordic SMC network during your studies. Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Andre Holzapfel (main supervisor), Sandra Pauletto (co-supervisor, KTH), Henrik Frisk, (co-supervisor, KMH), Dan Lundberg (co-supervisor, Musikverket).
