Abstract:
Neural Tides is a neural network-based granular synthesizer that examines plastiglomerates—hybrid formations of plastic and organic material in marine environments. The system maps sound grains from oceanic field recordings to a navigable latent space using autoencoders and clustering techniques, controlled via hand gestures and touch. This interface physically connects performers with sonic representations of anthropogenic material transformations in coastal environments.
