GF is a realtime gesture analyser that outputs “continuously” gesture characterising parameters based on recorded templates, making it suited for selecting and synchronising visual or sound control processes to gestures.
Interactive Audio Engine
The IAE is an embeddable synthesis engine in C++ for content based audio processing. The engine extracts audio descriptors from recorded audio materials and provides asynchronous/synchronous granular synthesis and additive synthesis.
Freesound
Freesound.org is an online collaborative sound database where people from different disciplines share recorded sound clips under Creative Commons licenses.
Essentia
Essentia is an open-source C++ library for audio analysis and audio-based music information retrieval, with prebuilt music descriptors and extractors. It is designed for fast prototyping and for setting up research experiments very rapidly.

Frédéric Bevilacqua
Frédéric Bevilacqua is the head of the Sound Music Movement Interaction team at IRCAM in Paris (part of the joint research lab Science & Technology for Music and Sound – IRCAM – CNRS – Université Pierre et Marie Curie). His research concerns the development of gesture-based musical interactive systems, movement computing, sensori-motor learning with auditory feedback. He holds a master degree in physics and a PhD in Biomedical Optics from EPFL in Lausanne. He also studied music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and has participated in different music and media arts projects. From 1999 to 2003 he was a researcher at the Beckman Laser Institute at the University of California Irvine. In 2003 he joined IRCAM as a researcher on gesture analysis for music and performing arts.
