3D KONCERT – IMMERSIVE SOIRÉER 2024

In spring 2024, DKDM invites you to 4 immersive soirées – afternoons where a range of seminar speakers share their artistic experiences within 3D audio.

Peter Barnow and john Cleworth

For this seminar, Peter Barnow (assistant professor at RDAM) will discuss his experiences working with immersive audio formats, with a particular focus on translation between different standards. Questions such as "What are the individual formats suitable for, and what are the challenges of translation between them?" will be discussed, accompanied by a series of immersive audio examples.

 Furthermore, the newly re-calibrated immersive sound system will be demonstrated. The system was recently calibrated for the Dolby Atmos format, thus making it more compatible with other immersive audio venues and applicable for different types of events.

We will hear tonmeister student John Cleworth’s Dolby Atmos rework of John Chowning’s piece Turenas (1972). Chowning was an early adopter of spatial composition in the seventies and is credited as the inventor of FM synthesis.

Finally, there will be an immersive performance by EHM:

EHM

EHM is a Copenhagen-based free-improv trio, featuring Norwegian trumpeter Erik Kimestad, Swedish guitarist Henrik Olsson and Brazilian vocal artist Marcela Lucatelli, focusing on intense, dense and brutal sonic collisions that require the three musicians to employ all their inventive powers and extended techniques. Like noisy godzillas that enjoy the Danish hygge in a compact, sweaty space. EHM has already solidified its own aesthetics: extreme, raw and demanding in its sheer brutality, but also imaginative and poetic. They show us what it’s like to collapse the distance between signification and sensation. They show words where to go.

IMMERSIVE SOUND

Immersive sound, 3D audio, surround sound... a dear child has many names, it's all about immersive sound: We perceive sound spatially, and we create and recreate both real and virtual spaces to accommodate new artistic impulses.

The field is undergoing significant development these years – both technologically and artistically. Nearly all musical genres have embraced the idea to explore artistic possibilities. DKDM has an immersive audio system designed for teaching 3D audio to future sound engineers and composers.
