Abstract

We introduce a method of generating grain parameters of a granular synthesiser in real-time by using a network of artificial spiking neurons, the behaviour of which is determined by user-control of a small number of network parameters; 'Neurogranular synthesis'. The artificial network can exhibit a wide variety of behaviour from loosely correlated to highly synchronised, which can produce interesting sonic results, particularly with regard to rhythmic textures.
