How Can we Inspire the Music Industry to Dream and Create Immersive Music from the Start?
In 2018, we embarked on a research journey into 3D audio, frequently encountering remarkable technical initiatives. Yet, there was often little thought given to the artistic content or how to truly create, record, and mix music in 3D. This gap led to the development of EarWRM, a methodology designed to approach immersive music production from the ground up. In this presentation, I will explore the concept of EarWRM through a series of use cases. How can we guide both professional musicians and students as they prepare for their first immersive concert or composition? What software is essential for this process, and should we develop custom tools ourselves? Additionally, I will outline the framework we are developing for educating students, organizing songwriting camps, specifically designed to focus on immersive music production. By advocating for an immersive mindset from the very beginning of music creation, we aim to foster a future where the industry not only adopts immersive technologies but dreams within them.
