He has been at IRCAM since the beginning of February developing a new concert work for field recordings and composed sound for an immersive ambisonic sound playback and for webAudio and WebVR – a truly immersive concert experience. In this talk he will demonstrate some of the technology developments and talk about the value gained by teaching listening skills and embedding acoustic ecology within the community.
The talk will be followed by a performance using your smart phone – demonstrating some fo the techniques they have been developing at IRCAM over the last 2 months.
