Research Profile

Joseph Timoney's field of research is Digital audio signal processing with an emphasis towards music technology and multimedia applications. Specifically, current work as part of the Music Technology Research Group is in the field of sound synthesis. Research is being carried out in emulations of the elements of analog subtractive synthesis for virtual-analog applications, physical modeling of acoustic instruments, and enhanced Phase Distortion synthesis. Other areas of interest are derived from all aspects of Timbral modeling. The outcome of this research is in the building of VST software instruments or standalone applications. At the moment the group has academic collaboration with the TKK in Espoo, Finland and commercial collaboration with the Irish-owned Future Audio Workshop. Another research strand is in the area of Gaelic speech synthesis and speech rhythm modeling using the perceptual centers of sounds. This work is in collaboration with the Department of electronic Engineering, NUI Maynooth.
