Dear Anders, please forgive this unsolicited email, but I noticed your message on Surround Sound and thought I’d offer a project for your rig/concerts series this autumn, if you’re not already fully booked up. I’ve just begun re-patching most of my Max projects now to be adaptable to nSpeaker setups and I’m using ambisonics to do it. In particular, I have a live electronics piece called gruntCount that I would like to update as a number of performers that play with this piece like to work in multi-channel spaces all around the world. I’d really like a good excuse to make it ambisonic compatible and just wondered if you’d be interested in a performance using your rig. The piece is semi-improvised for solo instrumentalist and computer. They are very tightly linked together as the sound of the player actually drives the piece forwards. A CD of the first run of versions was released on sumtone’s band camp label and I’d be glad to send you a link to a lossless download of this if you’re interested. http://sumtone.bandcamp.com/ I suspect that it might be good fun to try using a live microphone in a space with all of these speakers ; ). I’ve worked very closely with Anne La Berge (flute) on this and we have a very nice new version of the piece (which is different every time), but sounds like this please note, this is a single take documentary recording of a workshop we did last week, not a finished / polished release. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3djt95gl0z2m3n/fluteCount-version3.mp3
This kind of thing could perhaps spatialise very well across a wide rig like the one you describe. Let me know if you’re interested in talking further. Meanwhile, I wish you all the best for your concert later this week.
