Fab Synthesis: Performing sound, from Musique Concrète to Mechatronics

Abstract

This article firstly explores and identifies the implications of sound performance and expression as a building block in electroacoustic sound composition. Secondly, it attempts to introduce and describe Fab Synthesis as a sound synthesis paradigm that facilitates uncompromised sound expressivity and encourages the combination of human and electromechanical agents to interact seemingly.
