Sound art in interaction with nature

Musicians have always been inspired by nature and living environment in their creative process. Few have, however, created music in direct interaction with the surroundings, but that was exactly what the researchers in the sound art project Invisible Sounds: Piteå Port did when visiting Pite Harbor in search of sounds that cannot be perceived with the bare ear.

Even sound levels may require legislation

Many have certainly noticed that the volume may be commuting on the radio or felt compelled to adjust the volume when the sound level suddenly changes during television broadcasts. Differences in perceived noise levels have long been a problem in both radio and TV, but new research at Luleå University of Technology can help to minimize the problem.

Teacher of the year is driven by the adventure of it all

Nyssim Lefford, Senior Lecturer of Audio Engineering at The School of Music at Luleå University of Technology, has been awarded the title teacher of the year by Luleå Student Union.

Movies and games inspiration for sawmill project

A new project at Luleå University of Technology develops audiovisual interfaces inspired by films and games for an automated wood sorting system. Sonified alerts and visualisations help users in sawmills to monitor the sorting process and optimise system performance.

Smoother sound levels on radio and television

Differences in sound level in radio and television have long been a source of irritation. But after an initiative by the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), the problem will soon be a thing of the past. This partly thanks to new research from Lulea University of Technology.

Improved conditions for better sound

New research at Luleå University of Technology shows how perceived audio quality can be tested in a more efficient manner.
– When it comes to developing new technology, short production cycles are a fact. Hopefully my results can influence the listening tests so that they become more precise than before, says Jonas Ekeroot, Senior Lecturer in Audio Technology.

Art and science - not opposites

Is creativity is reserved to artists? Not at all, says Nyssim Lefford who gives an evening lecture on the topic at Vetenskapens hus October 21st.

Music's hidden ingredient

When listening to music, it is not just instruments and musicians you hear. An important part of the recording is the room. Jan Berg, assistant professor of Audio Technology gives a lecture on this at Vetenskapens hus October 1st.

High quality of audio engineering training

Luleå University's graduate education Ljudteknik may score high quality when University Chancellor Board, UKA, today presented the result of an evaluation of education in the area of media and design. .

Digital radio requires high data rate

The digital radio DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcast) must be assigned the capacity to broadcast with a high data rate, otherwise there is a risk for an inferior audio quality. This is one of the conclusions from research collaboration between Luleå University of Technology and Swedish Radio. The results are published in the latest issue of “Journal of the Audio Engineering Society”.

Trust your ears

Do you reach for remote controls volume button when it's time for commercials? You are not alone. Researcher Jon Allan at Luleå University of Technology studies noise levels in radio and television. He looks at how sound engineers can help to adjust the sound levels so disturbing differences can be avoided.
