CD presentation @ Ircam Forum Paris 2021

Always glad when R&D efforts find real-world artistic/professional applications:

 Congrats to Marco Bidin and Tiange Zhou who published a website article on the release of the CD album “music for headphones”, available at ALEA music association (see also this previous post).
 I think it is a very interesting project/demarche to produce an entire album of binaurally rendered pieces with lots of room for discussion on the artistic/production consequences and choices.
A great majority of the works on the CD have been rendered using classes for binaural spatialization as part of the OMPrisma framework.
Here is a link to the article:
And some screenshots of patches used in the production:

First live-streaming concert of 2021 @ MusicDesk

Image

I am excited for the upcoming issue of the live-streaming concert series Hypersounds on January 8th, 2021 @ 22:00 (UCT +1) by

Musicdesk – the global music platform

1

This concert will be my first in the year 2021, featuring  two pieces:

based on text by S. Beckett, composed during my computermusic studies in Stuttgart in 2009

based on a concrete recording of Franziska Koch, composed during a residence at Ircam in 2013.

Both works are completely computer-generated using software I developed (OMPursuit and OM-SoX) which can be found in the development section of this website. You can find program notes, including a description of the algorithmic creation process here and here.

Below are versions of renderings of the pieces from my soundcloud:

You can find the link to the videostream of the concert on the next page.
