Impress
Impress is an automatic soundscape affect recognition system aimed toward helping sound designers to find more streamlined workflows. The system has a wide range of potential applications, including adding sound effects for films, assisting soundscape composers with creating emotional soundscape compositions trying to evoke a target mood, and enabling engineers to design mood-enabled recommendation systems for the retrieval of soundscape recordings.
We will continue to contribute to the audio affect recognition field, implementing new tools for sound designers and artists.
Try out a version of the system on the Audio Metaphor project website.
