Histogram Mapping Synthesis

These plucked-strings-like sounds were created with the technique invented and developed in my PhD, called Histogram Mapping Synthesis (HMS). HMS is based on Cellular Automata (CA) which are mathematical/computational models that create moving images. In the context of HMS, these images are analysed by histogram measurements, giving as a result a sequence of histograms. In a nutshell, these histogram sequences are converted into spectrograms which in turn are rendered into sounds. Additional DSP methods were developed to control the CA and the synthesis so as to be able to design and produce sounds in a predictable and controllable manner.
