A practical introduction to Virtual Acoustics, facilitated by Dr Eoin Callery (Irish World Academy of Music And Dance, UL)
Through the use of loudspeaker-based virtual acoustics the reverberant conditions of any room, performance or gallery space, has the potential to be radically altered. When using these systems, the audience and performers have the sense that they are hearing sounds in a space other than the actual or expected acoustic of the physical room they occupy.
Facilitated by Dr Eoin Callery (Irish World Academy of Music And Dance, UL), this introduction to virtual acoustics will demonstrate a recently invented system for creating interactive virtual sound environments.* Bring your voice or an instrument and hear yourself in various spaces from around the world, and imagine the artistic possibilities of the future.
Max participants: 8
Equipment needed: participants do not need any equipment but feel free to bring an acoustic instrument.
Participation: This workshop is intended for anyone interested in interactive AR/VR applications, musicians, performers, composers, singers, theatre, acoustics, sound processing and audio FX.
* This loudspeaker-based virtual acoustic system was invented at Stanford University by Professor Jonathan Abel, Dr Eoin Callery, and Dr Elliot Canfield-Dafilou. It continues to be developed at Stanford University and at the Irish World Academy of Music And Dance in the University of Limerick.
This event is supported by the Contmporary Music Centre, Dublin.
