In 2010, the author had the privilege to capture a performance of Rebecca Saunders' intricately spatial composition Chroma XII in fully periphonic third-order Ambisonics. The production grew to considerable complexity and provides an excellent showcase for a large-scale Ambisonic production using free software. This workshop discusses the artistic motivation (or even necessity) of using a with height recording method for the work at hand.
After a short description of the composition, its instrumentation and the performance space, the microphone and mixing techniques are being discussed in detail, including hardware and software toolchains, postproduction workflow, and lessons learned from subsequent replays on various systems.
This is a follow-up to a workshop presented at LAC 2010 in Utrecht.

Day 3 - Saturday, April/14 10am The why and how of with-height surround production in Ambisonics - Paper Presentation
With-height reproduction is a hot marketing item in surround sound. This paper examines the (sometimes non-obvious) motivations behind it and discusses the abilities and shortcomings of different methods as to the perceptional mechanisms of height localisation.
The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
