WORKSHOP
Working with Ambisonics: Theory and Practice
with Mariam Gviniashvili
When? Saturday 25. January, kl14 - 19
Where? Notam, Myrens Verksted 3A, Oslo
What? This workshop is all about spatial sound and Ambisonics. We will start with the question of how we perceive sound in 3D space and take a short detour into the history of spatial sound. Then we will look at Ambisonics and break down the theory enough for you to understand why it is useful, when it is used and what makes it so powerful.
In the second half of the workshop, we will get hands-on. Using Reaper and the IEM plug-in suite, we will create some sketches and play them back in the studio with a 24.1 speaker setup to hear the results. By the end of the workshop you will have completed a basic Ambisonics project and have the skills to experiment further with spatial sound.
