Resonate

A low latency, low memory footprint, and low computational cost algorithm to evaluate perceptually relevant spectral information from audio and other signals.

I will give a talk titled “Low latency, high temporal and frequency resolution spectral analysis of audio signals: all about that phase” at the Audio Developer Conference (ADC26), Bristol, November 9-11, 2026.

I presented my paper “Real-Time, Low-Latency, High Resolution Audio Spectral Analysis: Phase Matters” at the 2026 International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) on May 14 2026. [Demo video on YouTube]
This is building on the work that received the Best Paper Award at last year’s ICMC, where I introduced the Resonate model.

I gave a talk titled “Real-time, low latency and high temporal resolution spectrograms” on the implementation of Resonate and Resonate-based spectrograms at the Audio Developer Conference (ADC25), Bristol, November 10-12, 2025. [YouTube]
