The CIRMMT Spatial Audio and Immersive Sound Workshop will bring together experts from across the CIRMMT community, including students, as well as industry partners to cover various aspects of Spatial Audio and 3D Immersive Sound.
Description
The Workshop will consist of a full day of lectures on several topics relevant to the core themes of Spatial Audio and 3D sound. Besides, there will be a variety of practical demonstrations ranging between an open hardware design for a new multidirectional loudspeaker array for spatial sound reproduction, 3D Ambisonic recordings including live demos with composers/performers with the possibility to listen to the resulting recordings immediately afterwards, as well as listening sessions of intricate multichannel music recordings in 7.1.4. Dolby Atmos in the immersive sound labs.
The workshop will consist of lectures on spatial audio in the morning and activities, performances, and demonstrations in the afternoon.
We are seeking your contributions to the workshop, specifically: research presentations relating to spatial audio, musical performances featuring spatialization, or any other topics relating to immersive sound composition, performance, and recording.
