Fuzzy logic in the arts: applications in audiovisual composition and sound synthesis

Nowadays, fuzzy logic applications can be found in a variety of fields, specially engineering and scientific areas. However, applications of fuzzy logic in the artistic fields are not abundant. This is highly surprising if we consider the fact that other related techniques such as neural networks and genetic algorithms have been widely used for artistic and creative purposes. Two applications of fuzzy logic in the artistic domain are presented here: a fuzzy logic-based mapping strategy for audiovisual composition and a novel audio synthesis technique based on sound particles and fuzzy logic.
