SONATA is a one-man project with a number of collaborating groups in
Norway and abroad. The project manager and postdoc in the project is
Dr. Snorre Farner while the
responsible is Prof. Peter Svensson, both in
the Acoustics group at
the Department of Electronics and
Telecommunications at the Norwegian
University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
Together with Ass. Prof. Jan Tro in the Acoustics group and the two
NTNU centres the Acoustic Research Centre and the Centre of Excellence
for Quantifiable Quality of Service
in Communication Systems there is a number of collaborating
groups:
- The Signal Processing
group at the Department of Telecommunication at NTNU (and the
project FONEMA), which works on speech analysis and synthesis, in
particular the unit selection synthesis method.
Contact: Prof. Torbjørn Svendsen
- Department of Speech, Music,
and Hearing at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in
Stockholm, which holds a good quality of research in the fields of
naturalness and synthesis of the singing and the speaking voice.
Contact: Prof. Sten Ternström
- Music Informatics
Laboratory at Department of Informatics at the
University of Copenhagen (DIKU), where timbre modelling in music is an
important objective. Contact: Prof. Kristoffer Jensen
- Modelling, Synthesis, and Control of Sound and Music Signals group
(S2M) at the Laboratory of
Mechanics and Acoustics at CNRS in Marseille, France. The
candiate has worked two years in this group, and the last year in
collaboration with the Language and Music group (see below) to study
the electric reactions in the brain when unnaturalness is added to
music and speech [Ystad03]
Contacts: Drs. Richard Kronland-Martinet and Sølvi Ystad
- The Language,
Music, and Motricity group at The
Mediterranean Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience at CNRS in
Marseilles, which has equipment and experience for measurements of
brain activity by the Event-Related Potential (ERP) method and by
magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI). Contact: Dr. Mireille Besson
