A spatial audio workshop on Friday, Nov. 22nd from 4 - 7pm. Location: MB 8.245, Concordia University (1450 Guy St, Montréal, QC)
Poster HERE<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwvJTnN8FfL-R1hncjN4Q1AxUms/edit?usp=sharing> The workshop will focus on perceptual analysis of different sound spatialization methods, with loudspeaker arrays and with structure-borne sound drivers. We will explore the sonic characteristics and qualities of 2D and "3D" loudspeaker techniques and experiment with the idea of a "4D" soundscape combining loudspeakers and structure-borne sound. The workshop will emphasize critical listening and investigate how such refined sound diffusion could generate new ideas for composition, theatre and art. Critical listening - Panning Algorithms: Ambisonics, angular, panr (pairwise amplitude panning), HOA and nfcHOA (near field compensated high order ambisonics), vbap (Vector Based Amplitude Panning), dbap (Distance Based Amplitude Panning, vbip (Vector Based Intensity Panning), Ambipanning,and etc - Structure-borne sound, - Sweet spot vs. localization resolution trade-off - Distance & Proximity Effects, Spatialization and Low frequencies - Room effect synthesis and apparent acoustics: aesthetic hyperspace vs. scientific realism - What is important when? : Phase, Delay, Amplitude, HRTF, Doppler, Air Absorption, Radiation, Room Effects, and etc Investigations Structure-borne sound + loudspeaker arrays Discussion and Exploration Room effect synthesis, The sweet spot issue, Distance – proximity, Localization… Control of spatialization (gestural, algorithmic, compositional, etc) Which tools for what use? *Aural Curiosities* Ambiophonic vs. Stereophonic listening Binaural headphone listening TransAural sound *Bio:* The workshop will be presented by Navid Navab. Navid is a Montreal based alkemist, composer/improvisor, programmer, and sound designer. A graduate of Ontario Royal Conservatory of Music, Concordia University’s Electroacoustics and Computational Arts program, and McGill Music Technology, he has been working for the past several years creating deeply expressive media instruments synthesizing research at IRCAM, CRIMMT, CNMAT, Topological Media Lab and Matralab. Interested in the poetics of gesture, materiality, and embodiment, his work explores the social lives of objects and the enrichment of their embedded performative qualities. Navid uses gestures, rhythms and vibrations from everyday life as basis for real-time sound generation, resulting in augmented acoustical-poetry that enchants improvisational and pedestrian movements. -- ___________________________________________ * <http://navidnavab.net>* Alkemist, Sound and Interaction Design navidnavab.net alkemieatelier.com 514.432.6633 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
