the truth is a line drawn between
mistakes this way that we come
to hear is a synthetic voice a
track created from scratch the voice
the voice is the grail of the interfaces
between man and machine
tomorrow in your living room there will be some
conversations between syria alexa erika
she will ask you questions and you
may sometimes have posed also sometimes
she will answer you from the researchers
like me work hard to give
a certain humanity to his voices
some natural to the intelligence says
artificial it’s been 15 years since I
looking for the perfect voice in ircam
the ircam Institute for Research and
acoustic coordination for science
music for art takes place in which stands
intersect researchers and artists around
of the same passion the music
one day a composer comes to see me and
wonder if he can use this path
synthesis in his show
he wants to make him say poems
unpronounceable in languages
imaginary something like his life
or not to sleep we put aspects
time despite my desire porsche of
saint hilaire the distant from behind
that their auditory sense time plan the
light array of primitives then such
from doctor frankenstein we start to
build a virtual comedian capable
to declaim worms the company is
complex
as complex as the wealth of
human expression and after a few
fake tracks a few attempts
unsuccessful and several gas plants
my Greek composer tells me but
I would like to explain to him with Mrs. Emma
to this synthetic voice how he
must speak
and this is the click
immediately my team and I
let’s look at the gesture
this gesture that accompanies naturally
the expression of speech through a
series of sensors is beginning to break loose
our composer and with a little
training we get to give a
certain humanity to this voice of
synthesis
today she is a little bit
better
the truth is a line of the plot
between the mistakes this composer has us
shown the imaginary part of a
problem that was very real for
we this kind of encounter between the
researcher that I am and the artist he
is nothing exceptional
art and science are an old couple
whose technology and wonder
are the children
the legend tells that the meeting
between mathematics and music
occurred the day that pythagoras
walk near the workshop a
black-smith
they hear and harmonious sound
the hammers that hit the anvils there
is seduced he enters the workshop he
interrupts the blacksmith he weighs the
masses is he writing the equations
mathematics of musical harmony
the history of arts and sciences is
dotted with dating and similarity
aesthetic affinities like the
joconde and the golden number following
fibonacci and this bach prelude actually
artists and researchers have always
worked together workshops
from the Renaissance to those of
jeff koons or new jean today
why because artists and
researchers use the same tools
yesterday the pen and the compass for Leonardo
davinci today the computer and
artificial intelligence
in fact artists and researchers share
the same resources
intuition experimentation reason
the journey of one of a work
artistic or discovery
scientist is not a straight line
that goes from a to b it’s a straight line
who share in
and then b does not stop
move
we go by if we are caught by that we are going
to work around a difficulty we want to
change direction
then we test we make assumptions
we are experimenting and we are wrong we are doing
mistakes and that’s good because
that it is thanks to these errors that
I would rather call lapses than
little by little we bounce towards a bep
we could not imagine
initially the error the error comes from
latin and rae rae wandering roaming
knows all their eggs mistake
christophe colomb who made him
discover the new continent
we know a little less about the pit
intuition of the Danish physicist niels bohr
on a tommy model that has
deceived but he opened the door to the
quantum mechanics recognize
the mistake know how to take advantage of it be
able to change direction
it requires some openness
of mind a certain relationship to the world a
listens to others an awakening to
Nothing
how to be wrong today in a
society based on efficiency the
profitability return the direct gain
who never stops on his mistakes
and if the best way to speed up the
progress had slowed down and
join together and produce
slip of which some will be
telly but let’s do it
seriously organize us
meet us around wood fires
with unknown pictures to redo
the world and give free rein to our
ideas ask yourself this question
today it is where my fire of wood
to me my stuffing fire feed it
ircam thanks to the composer and
researchers with whom I work and at
within a company the company sîn
equine that I created following the
collision with this composer on there
works these notions his relationships
between the gesture the voice the emotions the
dance the music the news
technologies today I am happy
to present to you the fruit of a
experience with dalila khatir
in the form of an improvisation I do not
do not know exactly where we are going
lead
and that’s so much better
