Screening: Zone of Interest
Tuesday November 19, 2024 16:00 - 18:00 CET
“The Zone of Interest” is a 2023 historical drama directed by Jonathan Glazer, based on Martin Amis's novel. It portrays the life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife, Hedwig, who live near the concentration camp, oblivious to the horrors occurring just beyond their garden wall. Its unique approach highlights the banality of evil, juxtaposing domestic life with the atrocities of the Holocaust. The film premiered at Cannes, winning the Grand Prix, and has received critical acclaim, including two Oscars, one of them for best sound. Johnnie Burn is sound designer on the movie, and will do a presentation about his work on The Zone of Interest, moderated by Danish sound designer Peter Albrechtsen.

ATT Moved: On the awakening of high security glass displays in museums with light and sound
Wednesday November 20, 2024 09:45 - 10:45 CET
This presentation examines how artefacts in museum exhibitions can become more dynamic by utilizing innovative display technologies and augmented mediation, moving beyond traditional glass displays. We propose methods for organizing and staging artefacts with temporal considerations, suggesting that their atmospheric influence spreads through the exhibition space like slow ripples in water, in contrast to Böhme's concept of instantaneous radiation. By theorizing and incorporating temporal structuring into artefact staging, we offer practical strategies for curators and designers to blend the sensory, emotional, and factual aspects of artefacts into the exhibition atmosphere. This approach involves a timeline-based layout of media content, emphasizing how the key atmospheric phenomenon of attunement unfolds over time, enhancing the artefacts' atmospheric, factual, and relational impact within museum spaces.

Tracking and localization of sound at Det Kongelige Teater
Wednesday November 20, 2024 11:30 - 12:30 CET
Sound localization is the process by which we can determine the origin of a sound.
Humans and animals use various clues, such as time delays and intensity differences between the ears,
to identify the direction of a sound. These techniques have been adopted in modern technology, to create immersive sound environment, and a more realistic connection between amplified and unamplified voice.
Since 2008, The Royal Danish Theatre has been utilizing various tracking systems to enhance their productions, creating invisible and transparent amplification of the actors. This presentation delves into the principles behind sound tracking and localization and how we have approached it at the Theater.

Integration and interoperability in immersive live production
Wednesday November 20, 2024 13:30 - 14:30 CET

With the advent of spatial audio renderers in the live entertainment industry, channel-based mixing solutions are being replaced by object-based mixing solutions. These processors are first used by system technicians. But above all, they are mixing tools. New companions of sound engineers and artists appear: software for positioning an audio object in the sound field. These interfaces have to be integrated into the wide show ecosystem, including mixing consoles, show controllers, tracking systems, potentially lighting and video.
 
How to make this possible since everyone uses his own language and protocol. One can talk MIDI, another OSC, PosiStageNet or a proprietary protocol. Do we need complex tools to translate a language into another? Or can we have a common vocabulary?
 
Leading audio manufacturers have worked together to come up with an OSC specification that everyone can use to easily interoperate. This is ADM-OSC, which has just been presented at the AES convention in New York early October.

Wings of Imagination: The Affordances of Sound in Museum Exhibitions
Wednesday November 20, 2024 13:30 - 14:30 CET
Museums have been described as exhibitionary complexes and scopic regimes, both concepts stressing their orientation towards display and visuality, what Martin Jay has also characterized as ocularcentrism. However, new technologies have enabled other modalities, most notably sound, to become ingrained in contemporary exhibition design.
According to media theorist Marshall McLuhan a hot medium is relying on one sense modality in high definition requiring low participation from the audience. A cool medium, on the other hand, provides less detailed, or fragmented, information requiring more participation. Thus, following the ocularcentrism of exhibitions, they could be considered as hot media environments. Consequently, also including sound in the exhibition design could be considered as a cooling of, or tempering of the media environment, requiring, or enabling, more participation from the visitor.
Thinking along with McLuhans temperature metaphor, and applying it to exhibition design, we explore the affordances of sound as a tempering of the media environment of exhibitions that simultaneously requires and enables visitors to use their imagination more actively in the meaning-making – giving wings to their imagination, metaphorically speaking. Thus, sound provides exhibition designers with opportunities to engage in more complex storytelling.
We substantiate our argument with illustrative examples from the H.C. Andersen’s House in Odense, The Viking Sorceress exhibition at the National Museum of Denmark and the exhibition Might and Magic in the ruins underneath Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen.
We discuss whether a more temperate, or balanced, media environment can counteract the ocularcentric bias of the exhibition medium and afford more complex meaning-making experiences. We argue that such an approach, placing more demands on the visitors’ participation and engagement, might appeal to some visitors but alienate others. Finally, we challenge the premise of McLuhan’s temperature metaphor and discuss how certain ways of using exhibition sound might actually “heat up” the experience rather than “cooling” it down.

Safe Listening Practices for Audio Engineers
Wednesday November 20, 2024 14:00 - 15:00 CET
Recent studies on hearing health have led to a new understanding of how temporary "ringing of the ears" and other short-term warnings to sound exposure should not be ignored. If there is a safe sound exposure level, it is lower than previously thought.
 
The latest findings on safe listening are summarised, including short-term and long-term consequences of overdosing. Medical data is compared to hazard-based requirements on sound levels in Europe, and a best practice for audio professionals is outlined.
 
We will also discuss seeding reasonable listening habits in our children, the first generation that could potentially benefit from a better understanding of common threats to hearing in modern life.

Wednesday November 20, 2024 15:30 - 16:30 CET
How to compose out of pure movement using vertical dancers, a VR system, binaural sound, some programming and a lot of imagination? BEFORE notes and harmony, BEFORE rhythm and timbre. Pure movement in space as the beginning of composition.
A part of MicroGravity (an action performance by Sparrow Dance), Sonic Travel is a sound installation which visually links the blind with the deaf, and in which the two spaces they individually choreograph become renewed tools for the creation of music.

Introduction to Immersive Formats and Envelopment
Wednesday November 20, 2024 16:00 - 17:00 CET
Auditory Envelopment (AE) is an elementary, perceptual quality of sound, capable of inducing pleasure and emotion in the listener. AE is not the same Listener Envelopment (LEV) used in acoustical engineering, and immersive audio formats have a higher capacity than stereo to influence AE in listeners.
We describe and exemplify recordings, mixes and distribution formats of immersive across a variety of genres. Examples of the new AE dimension are also given - from intimate to grand - as well as five deadly sins of how to miss its potential pleasure, including bad acoustics of listening rooms.

Spoiler alert: they did not quite get there! However, in this talk, two senior members of the audio team will present their intriguing and impressive final solution sharing what they learned along the way.

EarWRM: A Holistic Approach to Writing, Recording, and Mixing Immersive Music
Thursday November 21, 2024 09:30 - 10:30 CET
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.

ATT Moved: Sound as a Mental Phenomenon: The Non-Acoustic Representation of Sound in Museums
Thursday November 21, 2024 09:30 - 10:30 CET
The fact that auditory processing is realised not only through the ear but also in the brain allows us to imagine sounds from various stimuli, such as images, thoughts, or dreams with a vividness comparable to real-world sound experiences. This phenomenon is particularly explicit in non-acoustic exhibits, where the absence of sound becomes a catalyst for visitor’s imaginative auditory experiences and personal narratives. The silence inherent in these exhibits serves as a blank canvas, inviting viewers to paint their own sonic landscapes. Some artists deliberatively create works that engage our auditory senses through visual means effectively transmitting sound or music without acoustic stimuli. Such works innovatively invoke sound’s phenomena, with resonances that emerge vividly from the visual imagery.
This presentation delves into the complex interplay between visual art and imagined sound within museum contexts. By examining works from Christian Marclay and Geneviève Cadieux, alongside installations from popular music exhibitions, I will demonstrate the potential of non-acoustic exhibits to evoke powerful auditory perceptions in the mind. These case studies illuminate how artists and museum curators can skillfully manipulate visual elements to stimulate auditory imagination, crafting rich multisensory experiences in the absence of physical sound. I will also demonstrate how, when the right stimuli are given, silence can paradoxically become a canvas for signfiicant sonic experiences.

Auditory Displays for Remote Road Vehicle Operations - An Overview
Thursday November 21, 2024 10:30 - 11:30 CET
There are many technical and practical challenges that need to be solved to ensure efficient and safe automation of road vehicles such as cars and trucks. Remote operation, which allows a human operator to support and even drive an automated vehicle from a distance, has been proposed as a solution to some of these challenges. In this session, we will give an overview of the field of remote operation as such and deep dive into the use of sound as a potential improvement to the current predominantly visual remote operator interfaces. We will try to answer what types of sounds and auditory displays will be helpful for the operator, how these should be designed and how they might be integrated into the operator interface. Furthermore, we will give examples of studies that show that when designed properly, auditory displays can have measurable positive effects such as lowered cognitive load, improved speed regulation performance and increased situational awareness.

Designing in sound and listening to visitors: Music histories in heritage institutions
Thursday November 21, 2024 13:30 - 14:30 CET

The shift toward the ‘museumification’ of popular music is evidenced by blockbuster shows at leading international art and design museums alongside the establishment of music museums, Halls of Fame and exhibition centres around the world from Australia and Denmark to the UK and the US. The inclusion of music within a gallery context raises both practical questions about how best to deliver and manage sound within the gallery space, as well as questions of interpretation about how visitors will encounter the music, how they are encouraged to listen, and how it contributes to a multi-sensory experience. Drawing on case study museums and exhibitions I will discuss curatorial approaches to presenting music in the gallery and the opportunities opened up for sensory engagement. I will then examine visitor responses to explore how exhibition content is processed and interpreted by individuals.The paper will consider the different modes of engagement enabled through museum technologies while emphasising the importance of listening to visitor perspectives to more fully understand how music is given value within the museum encounter.

Thursday November 21, 2024 14:00 - 15:00 CET
In this presentation we look at what acoustics to aim for, both for editing, recording and venue. We look at absorbents, which can be both ordinary building materials and more specialized products. We look at sound distribution, something that is often overlooked. And then look at diffusers that you build yourself. Finally, a hint to perform your own control measurements.
