Overview

This 2 day workshop will explore techniques for creating immersive 3D audio environments for composition and acoustic simulation.  There will be a survey of spatialization techniques including ambisonics, traditional amplitude panning, VBAP, binaural/transaural, and wave field synthesis.  Methods for creating new and uniquely spatial audio environments will also be discussed.  The workshop will take place in the Arup Soundlab™, a dedicated 2nd-order ambisonics listening chamber.  Participants will gain hands-on experience in ambisonic encoding/decoding and reproduction as well practical applications for spatial audio presentation.  This workshop is for musicians, composers, researchers, sound artists, and programmers who would like to gain a greater understanding of modern spatial audio techniques.
