We are very pleased to announce that Prof. Dr. Karlheinz Brandenburg will give a keynote speech about the developments in audio and music technology at the ISA2019 Award Show.
 

Music / Sound / Noises: Developments in Audio

Sound envelopes us all the time. While near perfect audio quality seems guaranteed today, a number of new technologies enables new applications. The talk gives a few examples: AI based analysis and synthesis of soundscapes or virtual / augmented / modified sound scenes in a truly immersive experience. Some of these technologies are motivated by a better understanding of hearing, of the way human ears and brain listen to the world around us.
