Seeing Birdsong

· science · Source ↗

TLDR

  • Lucio Arese’s Seeing Birdsong maps avian vocalizations into high-dimensional vectors and 3D geometric manifolds for art, science, and education use.

Key Takeaways

  • Audio is processed into spectral descriptors embedded in dynamic 3D manifolds, outputting both 2D and 3D graphs.
  • Presented at the 4th Ultrasonic Vocalization Conference at Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences.
  • Use cases span live audiovisual performance, comparative vocal analysis, and museum/workshop education demos.
  • No public code or dataset linked; contact is direct email for institutions, curators, and researchers.
  • Framework described as “evolving” – current state appears to be a portfolio/research project seeking collaborators.
