Dynamic Streaming

A special introduction to the project musikprotokoll dynamic streaming for members of the EBU.

Introduction

In 2021, the musikprotokoll offered dynamic streaming of its concerts after the festival. Here, listeners’ head movements are tracked in real time, altering the spatial reproduction of what is heard – the result is an astonishingly realistic acoustic experience. A video track recorded with multiple cameras will supplement the acoustic event.

 

What is dynamic streaming?

A one minute introduction of what dynamic streaming is.

Track 1
The 5.1 ORF recording is encoded
as a "normal" stereo track.

Track 2:
The 5.1 ORF recording is now encoded as binaural audio.
The webcam tracks the users head who looks
straight in the webcam.

Track 3:
Now the user moves the head
contantly from left to right.

AB-comparison

Let´s compare 3 variations of the same ORF recording. Please use high quality headphones for listening.

tingles & clicks

We like to present an other musikprotokoll project to you. Here the head movements in each direction get tracked to explore a sound environment.

Wear a facemask, keep a safe distance, reduce social contacts, etc. Social-distancing instructions have accompanied us in this global health crisis from the very beginning. Interpersonal relations have been curtailed to protect the individual. tingles & clicks strives to explore and resurrect this lost physicality in commissioned works for which outstanding musicians create quasi-tactile, auditory one-person experiences.
