Start of SAPIM project

Today, we sent out a newsletter/press release regarding the start of our IWT Innovation Project "smart audio processing for interactive multimedia" (SAPIM). With this project, we are expanding our activities regarding intelligent music/audio processing.

R&D project accepted for funding by IWT

Great news today: our R&D project "smart audio processing for interactive multimedia" was accepted for funding by the Flemish government agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT).

This means we will receive financial support (next to our own sources), but it also means that our business ideas and R&D plans were screened and found to be innovative and worthwhile enough by the most important institute for science and technology in Flanders. No need to say we are very pleased with this acknowledgement ;-)

Video sprites and concatenative sound synthesis

Sometimes crossing the borders of your own domain can yield some very interesting insights. After reading a nice blog post on recent applications of seam carving in the video processing world, I stumbled across an interesting article on controlled animation of video sprites. Allow me to explain why I think it is interesting for music technologists like us.
