Sound in immersive digital performance environments



12/10 – 14/10, IEM Graz

By CREW (B): Eric Joris and Vincent Jacobs, Gerhard Eckel (IEM, AT)  
and Martin Rumori (DE)





CREW is a Belgian based performance company working on the cross-road  
of performance art and new technologies. The CREW workshop in Graz  
will be organized in close collaboration with IEM and will focus on  
the use of sound and music as a performative tool for immersive  
digital environments. The workshop is limited to 4 participants with a  
good knowledge of technologies for recording and spatialization of  
(ambisonic) sound and a creative interest in multi-disciplinary  
environments.



Research question of the workshop:

The technology used by CREW to create its immersive environments  
implies a Head Mounted Display (HMD) that offers visitors omni- 
directional video-based images. The device enables the visitor to  
physically move around and walk inside visual and auditory  
environments (virtual and live) and it enables him to interact with  
this environment. The visual and auditory material can be organized  
and edited.

The immersive nature of this implies a high and continuous feeling of  
'presence'. Sound and music strongly relate to this notion of  
presence. In the workshop we will explore strategies for the  
production of meaningful sound (or music) for this immersive  
environment and address aspects related to the conceptualizing, the  
making, the recording, the editing and the postproduction of a sound  
field. Participants will work on editing and montage examples that  
integrate auditory, visual and tactile experiences.



steirischer herbst festival:

The workshop is part of the EU-subsidised research project on “New  
Media, Performing Arts and Spectatorship”, and within this context the  
major performance project ”Immercity” will be developed and shown next  
year at steirischer herbst.
