Stuff

[Scott Hildebrand <klezmer41@xxxxxxxxx>]

For the phoeneme stuff you might want to check out
Wayne Slawson's program called SYNTAL. I've never used
it although I went to Davis so I know that guy.

http://music.ucdavis.edu/people/slawson/

And for blind research, I do know that at some point
there was some stuff going on at Stanford. This is
actually something I'm interested in as well. Most of
what I've done is HRTF-based 3D audio. Anyway hope
this helps.
