Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The power to make your own tools completely changes the creative process. You can envision a unique solution to a problem and, if it isn’t available, create it yourself. In my sound work outside of theatre, I developed a software instrument called Kenaxis that lets me quickly grab hold of sounds, manipulate them, mangle them, change to a different set of sounds, grab live samples and, if the setup allows, do it all in surround sound. This software is perfect for experimental theatre, places where improvisation and an emphasis on gestures is important, and for working in alternative spaces with surround sound. It allows the environment to be more playful and removes the need to set sound parameters rigidly ahead of time. Compositionally, the software is set up to provide an environment where any number of things can happen: a space where various processes can be applied to the sound — deliberate or random — allowing the software to create a different sound design for each performance. However, while Kenaxis was the perfect tool for experimenting with sound, it is not optimized for a cue-to-cue approach to sound design.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
