Sound in immersive digital performance environments

12/10 – 14/10, IEM Graz

By CREW (B): Eric Joris and Vincent Jacobs, Gerhard Eckel (IEM, AT)
and Martin Rumori (DE)

CREW is a Belgian based performance company working on the cross-road
of performance art and new technologies. The CREW workshop in Graz
will be organized in close collaboration with IEM and will focus on
the use of sound and music as a performative tool for immersive
digital environments. The workshop is limited to 4 participants with a
good knowledge of technologies for recording and spatialization of
(ambisonic) sound and a creative interest in multi-disciplinary
environments.

Research question of the workshop:

The technology used by CREW to create its immersive environments
implies a Head Mounted Display (HMD) that offers visitors omni- directional video-based images. The device enables the visitor to
physically move around and walk inside visual and auditory
environments (virtual and live) and it enables him to interact with
this environment. The visual and auditory material can be organized
and edited.

The immersive nature of this implies a high and continuous feeling of
'presence'. Sound and music strongly relate to this notion of
presence. In the workshop we will explore strategies for the
production of meaningful sound (or music) for this immersive
environment and address aspects related to the conceptualizing, the
making, the recording, the editing and the postproduction of a sound
field. Participants will work on editing and montage examples that
integrate auditory, visual and tactile experiences.

steirischer herbst festival:

The workshop is part of the EU-subsidised research project on “New
Media, Performing Arts and Spectatorship”, and within this context the
major performance project ”Immercity” will be developed and shown next
year at steirischer herbst.
