NOTAM: Spatial audio meetup
(online)
I'll be speaking at and presenting The ECHO Project. It was established with the aim of advancing immersive sound recording techniques for orchestral music and to bridging the gap between academia and the audio industry. In the spirit of the 3D-MARCo project, which championed the open sharing of high-quality immersive recording resources for education and research, we are publishing orchestral recordings made with eight microphone arrays - each designed by one of seven professional recording engineers - for open access under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.
