precious conditions for humans,
en değerli şeylerden biridir.
the depth of our presence.
hissetmemize olanak sağlar.
why the advent of electric cars
of enthusiasm among people.
bir sebebi de budur.
the concept of cars
bir sorun olabilir.
when it comes to cars,
göremediklerini düşünün.
they can't even hear it.
sesini bile duyamayacaklar.
as we are walking around the city,
düşüncelere daldığımızı
and we detach from the surroundings.
fark etmediğimizi düşünün.
our precious companion.
bizim için değerli bir rehber.
wonderful gifts of our universe.
armağanlarından biri.
sound is also information.
ses aynı zamanda bilgi verici.
feedback to the drivers,
geri bildirim vermek için
have introduced several regulations
for electric vehicles.
minimum sound levels
ihtiyaç duyuyorlar.
is considered as sufficient.
yeterli olarak görülüyor.
have generated different reactions
düşünenler arasında
and those who fear the presence
as the noise of the car.
olarak görmüyorum.
dile gelmesi olarak görüyorum.
and privileges, at the same time.
ve aynı zamanda en büyük ayrıcalık.
engine sounds like,
sesini hepimiz biliyoruz
how an electric engine sounds like.
nasıl ses çıkardığını biliyoruz.
high-frequency pitch sound,
just amplify this sound,
the legal requirements.
yerine getirmezdik.
to compose new sound.
sebeplerinden biri de bu.
is already very chaotic,
are a great case study
21. yüzyıl sokakları
cross purposes and disarray.
nasıl azaltacağımıza dair
offers a great opportunity
harika bir fırsat.
on how to reduce this chaos.
that tries to reduce the chaos
how an electric car could sound like,
nasıl ses çıkardığını bilmediğinden
a new sound world,
ses dünyası tanımlamalıyım.
to our previous experience
yaratacak bir ses dünyası.
we create lots of sonic textures
duygu aktaran
feelings and frequencies
birbirlerine bağlayabiliriz.
the legal requirements,
yerine getirmenin dışında
and the identity of the car.
hakkında da bilgi verir.
first of all, an aesthetic space of sound,
bir ses alanı tanımlıyorum
I search for new, innovative methods
bilmediğimiz, soyut dünyaları
onları algılanabilir
that we don't know,
to envision abstract worlds,
yeni ses düzenleri için
of a sonic organism,
of sonic variations,
is the composition of sound genes.
is based on a cluster of properties
birtakım özelliklere dayanır.
that I compose should have.
bu özellikleri içermelidir.
such as the sound of a car,
küçük bir ses varlığına aktarırım.
of sound in the air.
oluşturacaktır.
the sound of a car.
coming back home.
an unexpected sense of wonder,
we define the sonic variations.
ses çeşitlerini tanımlarız.
generate different voices,
farklı sesler çıkarması gibi
have a different acoustic behavior
ve malzemesine bağlı olarak
the geometry and the materials.
how this car propagates the sound outside
yardımıyla arabanın
to produce different tones and timbres,
tonlar ve ses renklerini üretebiliyorsa
different sonic variations
sekiz kelimelik alan içinde
of eight words that I defined.
to me, really important,
of "dynamic," of "embracing."
these two aspects,
the sonic identity card of a car.
we enter the world of the sound design,
ses genlerinin düzenlendiği
örneğini göstermeme izin verin.
a sound field into a melody.
which would propagate in this hall,
bir ses alanı üretirim
would hit the side walls
yan duvarlara çarpar
ses alanı böyle görünürdü.
several ways of sound to hit side walls.

that they were going to play.
to start from this sound field.
başlamak aklıma geldi.
over the distribution

örneği dinleyelim.
how a potential sound,
ses genetiklerine dayalı
nasıl olduğunu göstermek isterim.
for electric cars, could sound like.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Renzo Vitale - Sound geneticist, musician, acoustic engineerRenzo Vitale explores the narrative between music, science and human perception -- envisioning sonic spaces for music to evolve, for cities to sing, for people to transcend.
Why you should listen
Renzo Vitale is an Italian pianist, composer, sound designer, acoustic engineer and artist. His creative process involves an interrogation of the relation between music, science and human perception.
As a musician, Vitale has composed a wide spectrum of works ranging from dance theater to performative installation pieces and virtual reality experiences. His solo works focus on vulnerable states of human condition, such as the sublimity of emotional gravities and the irrational nature of disorders. As a scientist, his research encompasses architectural acoustics, psychoacoustics, vehicle acoustics and music communication.
Vitale holds a PhD in Acoustics from RWTH Aachen University, two master's degrees in electronic engineering and in piano performance as well as further studies in electronic music, composition and conducting. Previously he has been a research scholar at the Institute of Technical Acoustics in Aachen, Pratt Institute in New York and KTH in Stockholm.
In 2015, Vitale joined the Research and Innovation Center of BMW Group as a Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) engineer. Since 2017 he designs the sounds of electric vehicles. He conceived a new generation of sounds through a novel approach that he calls "sound genetics," which defines the aesthetic space of sounds in order to generate soundscapes to enable us to envision abstract worlds and make them tangible and audible.
