Zirkonium, Spatdif, and Mediaartbase.de; an Archiving Strategy for Spatial Music at Zkm
نویسندگان
چکیده
ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics has been contributing to the production and realization of spatial music for more than 20 years. This paper introduces how the institute archives the spatial compositions, maximizing the universality, reusability, and accesibility for performances and research in the future by combining three key elements: Zirkonium, SpatDIF, and mediaartbase.de.

Zirkonium Mk Iii - a Toolkit for Spatial Composition
Zirkonium is a set of Mac OSX software tools to aid the composition of spatial music; the software allows composers to design multiple spatial trajectories with an intuitive GUI and facilitates arranging them in time. According to the provided trajectory information, the actual audio signals can then be rendered in real-time for 2D or 3D loudspeaker systems. For developing the latest version of...

The Institute for Music and Acoustics is a production and research facility of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe. It is well known for the ”Klangdom”, a multi-loudspeaker facility for spatial sound diffusion with the aim to provide artists and composers with new possibilities. In this paper we present the overall revised and extended software solution for controlling the Klangdom, th...
متن کاملThe ZKM Klangdom
The Klangdom is an audio spatialization instrument developed at the Institut für Musik und Akustik at the ZKM. It is made up of 39 Meyer Sound loudspeakers hung on four sliding tracks, allowing for easy re-configuration of the speaker setup. The audience sits inside the Klangdom, which can be controlled either directly via a mixer, by externally developed software, or by a sequencer for sound m...
متن کاملTowards an Auditory Representation of Complexity
In applications of sonification, the information inferred by the sonification strategy applied often supersedes the amount of information which can be retrieved by the ear about the object of sonification. This paper focuses on the representation of complex geometric formation through sound, drawing on the development of an interactive installation sonifying escape time fractals as an example. ...
متن کاملProposing Spatdif - the Spatial sound Description Interchange Format
This paper outlines the requirements for an interchange format that can describe and share spatial parameters across 3D audio applications, and proposes SpatDIF for its implementation. 1. WHY USING A SCENE DESCRIPTION FORMAT FOR COMPOSING? Formats as a structuring concept are integral to musical practice. For example, in the form of scores, a written symbolic representation of music, compositio...
