Not Yet Heard

When computers learn to understand sound, they will not only enable a whole new range of applications but they will fundamentally affect the way we interact with our acoustic environment. Some devices might give us access to far more specific and selective hearing experience and at the same time we might become much more aware of the sounds we produce and what they tell about us. In collaboration with Gunnar Green.
