Subject: Stuff From: Scott Hildebrand <klezmer41(at)YAHOO.COM> Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 23:16:12 -0700For 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.
