Research

The Urban Modeling Group finally completed their flyover over Sunset Park and are now waiting for their data.

Vincent Lostanlen’s research-creation collaboration with composer Florian Hecker is now available in a newly released album. Vincent has been collaborating with Hecker since 2016 on various computer music pieces. The album (Lorenzo Senni. “The Shape of RemiXXXes to Come”. Warp, 2018) contains one track from Hecker “XAllegroX (Hecker Scattering.m Sequence),” which is “a technical ambient mix essentially consisting of resynthesized material prominently featuring Vincent Lostanlen’s scattering.m toolbox for time-frequency scattering transforms.” This “scattering.m toolbox” (pronounced “scattering dot M”) is a piece of software Vincent wrote during his years of PhD at École normale supérieure in Paris. He is still maintaining it today, as a visiting scholar at NYU CUSP and NYU MARL.
