Scott Wilson and Jonty Harrison (University of Birmingham)

Rethinking the BEAST: A discussion of recent developments in multichannel practice at Birmingham ElectroAcoustic Sound Theatre

This talk will outline some recent developments in multichannel composition at the Electroacoustic Music Studios at the University of Birmingham and its performance wing, BEAST (Birmingham ElectroAcoustic Sound Theatre). In addition to a historical overview, the discussion will cover software and techniques developed and adapted for use with BEAST, new and pragmatic approaches to composing for large-scale multichannel systems, such as n-channel composition and composing in ‘stems’, and issues arising from a resulting blurring between composition and performance practices.
