Event details

DE Lunch-time seminar presented by Ben Mawson

My hunt for ‘realistic', immersive experience of digital audio has led to development work towards 3DBARE, the 3D Binaural Audio Rendering Engine.

A means for multiple users to ‘walk inside a piece of music', as though the sounds were actually emanating from points in a physical space, 3DBARE is an exercise in ‘digital liveness', making repeated experience of fixed output continually changeable.

During this long process of discovery and experimentation, I have worked extensively with an earlier tool called noTours, using GPS to edit a landscape with sound.

I will outline some of the technical challenges in building 3DBARE and the musical compositions using space as an expressive layer which I have developed over the past two years, during my PhD research.

These include the ongoing ‘ Audio Portrait of a City ‘, spread across Southampton's green spaces and the early stage project ‘ Listening for Infection ‘ (a proposed collaboration between Music and the Faculty of Medicine), exploring biomedicine through sonic gamification.

DE Lunch-time seminars are free to attend and lunch will be provided. All are welcome.
