Về như thường lệ là đau chân, đau họng rồi

Another great news!!

I will be presenting a paper at the Reproduced Sound 2013 conference in Manchester (http://www.reproducedsound.co.uk/index.php/programme).

It will be the last paper presented in the conference program and I hope it will be interesting and entertaining!!

Abstract:

USE OF AMBISONICS REPRODUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR POPULAR MUSIC – A JAZZ MUSIC CONCERT APPLICATION

S Di Rosario, Buro Happold Engineers LtD

  Ambisonics has been used in many experimental and electroacoustic music applications, being able to deliver a mesmerizing soundscape to the audience. Applications to popular music have been quite rare and very difficult to achieve for the musicians and for the engineer/audio artist. This paper presents a case study of a practical application of Ambisonics reproduction techniques to popular music, in the particular case of a jazz concert. The author has been invited to create bespoke software that could have been flexible and operable in real time, allowing the “Ambisonics Sound Engineer” to be part of the band on stage as an additional musician. 

I will be presenting as an employee of Buro Happold Ltd (my current job) a work I have done separately by the typical core work we do in the Acoustics team.

The application and all the research behind it, helped me to improve our current ambisonics system used mainly for audio demonstrations (Auralisations) of our work to the clients.

It is very interesting how a musical application can help understand and improve a more scientific application for demonstrating acoustic design to person that are acoustics-literate.

Expochirp has been used in this application to measure first-order B-Format IR of spaces and applied to the ambisonic reverb.
