Dear colleagues,
I would like to share a new project on the IRCAM Forum:
Praat AudioTools
Praat AudioTools is a collection of scripts designed to extend Praat’s functionality for audio analysis, structured processing, and batch-oriented workflows. It aims to support research applications and experimental sound practices.
Feedback on functionality, performance, and possible extensions is very welcome.
Best regards,
Shai Cohen
Update – Hybrid Systems
I have recently added a new section titled Hybrid Systems, integrating external Python processes into the compositional workflow.
From a composer’s perspective, this opens the door to working with deep learning and AI models as part of the creative process. Analysis and resynthesis remain anchored in Praat, while neural networks and machine learning systems can reinterpret, transform, or abstract the material before it returns as sound.
It creates a space where acoustic structure meets artificial intelligence — not as a replacement for compositional thinking, but as an extension of it.
I warmly invite anyone interested in AI-assisted composition and hybrid workflows to explore the Hybrid Systems section and share thoughts.
Best regards,
Shai Cohen
