Resonate

Resonate

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

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. This is building on the work that received the Best Paper Award at last year’s ICMC, where I introduced the Resonate model. Watch a demo video on YouTube!

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. Watch on YouTube!
