Live 3D mixing for onstage musicians

There is an increasing number of AES67 devices being released to market, that seriously address spatial audio in the life context. The new Merging technologies Merging+Anubis interface is an interesting example which is networkable up to 256 channels that provides a range of onboard monitoring options for spatial audio and promises in a forthcoming firmware update real-time and Masonic decoding up to seventh order.

Other examples include a line of technology from Klang, such as this one, which provide monitor mixes for multiple musicians for 3D headphones.


Klang also have an 8 channel break-out box which looks like a good balance between other offerings listed below

There are also a collection of differing analog outputs and mic-pres etc - for an ambisonic dome rig one would want at least 24 analog outs to speakers

AtteroTech have a 32 channel solution for balanced XLR. I like their smaller 4 channel AES67/Dante-Analog solution (unD4O) - one could have a number of these dotted around a dome which makes for shorter analog cable runs. Or if more channels are needed perhaps the und32, 32 channel single unit,

Future Perfect -a documentary video produced by ZKM

Here is a documentary video of my research and performance for Future Perfect - produced by ZKM

A highlight of »inSonic 2018: Algorithmic Spaces« was the world premiere of »Future Perfect«, which was presented in the ZKM cube. Garth Paine, media artist and sound researcher, was a guest artist at the IRCAM (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music) in Paris and at the ZKM in 2018. With »Future Perfect«, he developed an immersive 3D video performance for High Order Ambisonics and Virtual Reality for smartphones.



Xylia develop 6DOF audio developers kit

This is super interesting - think about moving through auditory scenes in VR - Xylia are working on arrays of 3rd oder microphones to create multi-perspective auditory scenes for use in VR
