Expression and Spatial Motion: Playable Ambisonics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents research undertaken by the Bent Leather Band investigating the application of live Ambisonics to large digital-instrument ensemble improvisation. Their research aims to use spatial motion and Ambisonics as a solution to the problem of mixing large ensembles of digital instruments. Their playable approach to live ambisonic projection is inspired by the work of Trevor Wishart and presents a systematic investigation of the potential for live spatial motion improvisation.

The Perception, Evaluation and Creative Application of High Order Ambisonics in Contemporary Music Practice
The aims of this research residency were to test and evaluate the practical, perceptual and compositional use of higher order ambisonics. The work explored three main technical areas: very high order synthesised ambisonics sound-fields in 2D up to 12 order and 3D up to 9 order, near-field compensated higher order ambisonics and higher-order recorded sound-fields using the EigenMike. The followi...
متن کاملAnalysis on the timbre of Ambisonics recording by circular and spherical microphone array using a binaural loudness model
Ambisonics are a series of flexible sound reproduction systems that decompose and reconstruct sound field by each order approximation of spatial harmonics decomposition. Circular or spherical microphone array has been used for Ambisonics recording. For an array with given radius as well as given number and configuration of microphones, the spatial harmonics signals up to certain temporal freque...
متن کاملCreating tangible spatial-musical images from physical performance gestures
Electroacoustic music has a longstanding relationship with gesture and space. This paper marks the start of a project investigating acousmatic spatial imagery, real gestural behaviour and ultimately the formation of tangible acousmatic images. These concepts are explored experimentally using motion tracking in a source-sound recording context, interactive parameter-mapping sonification in three...
متن کاملA Comparison of Wave Field Synthesis and Higher-Order Ambisonics with Respect to Physical Properties and Spatial Sampling
Wave field synthesis (WFS) and higher-order Ambisonics (HOA) are two high-resolution spatial sound reproduction techniques aiming at overcoming some of the limitations of stereophonic reproduction techniques. In the past, the theoretical foundations of WFS and HOA have been formulated in a quite different fashion. Although, some work has been published that aims at comparing both approaches the...
متن کاملEvaluating spatial sound with binaural auditory model
Directional qualities of spatial sound systems are studied with a binaural model of human direction perception. The evaluated spatial sound systems are pairand triplet-wise panning and firstand second-order Ambisonics.
