+    \title{Descriptor Driven Concatenative Synthesis Tool}

+
+    \begin{abstract} 
+    A command-line tool is proposed for the exploration of a new form of audio
+    synthesis known as ``concatenative-synthesis'': A form of synthesis that uses
+    perceptual audio analyses to arrange small segments of audio based on their
+    characteristics.  The tool is designed to synthesise representations of an
+    input sound using a database of source sounds. This involves the
+    segmentation and analysis of both the input sound and database, matching of
+    input segments to their closest segment from the database, and the
+    re-synthesis of the closest matches from the database to produce the final
+    result.\\
+
+    The aim was to produce a tool capable of generating high quality sonic
+    representations of an input, and to present a variety of examples that
+    demonstrated the breadth of possibilities that this style of synthesis has
+    to offer. There are a number of other projects that use this form of
+    synthesis, however this project aims primarily to explore the further
+    potential offered through the offline processing of large databases, of
+    which considerably less research exists.\\
+
+    Overall, results demonstrate the wide variety of sounds that can be
+    produced using this method of synthesis. A number of technical issues were
+    outlined that impeded the overall quality of results and efficiency of the
+    software. However, the project clearly demonstrates the strong potential
+    for this type synthesis to be used for creative purposes.
