Matthias Grabenhorst, Jörn Nettingsmeier » Location: IEM CUBE
This piece of music is a sketch. It was produced in a serial manner on a conventional electric guitar, spiffed up using Ambi panning in Ardour, and printed in UHJ stereo for this demo.
Seeking perfection in improvisation is superfluous. It is what it is. Yet how sweet is the search for perfection. I try to practise the sketch - not the music.
In this project we look at some questions:
Is there improvisation independent of the timeline?
How can improvisation incorporate information about the room?
How do you prepare youself for improvisation?
The music will be performed live on a hexaphonic guitar and a few MIDI controllers and rendered in third-order Ambisonics.

Day 3 - Saturday, May/11 11:40 Take it or Fake it - Spatial miking techniques and post-production spatialisation tricks for recordists - Workshop
(80 min) Jörn Nettingsmeier » Location: IEM CUBE
A workshop on stereo miking techniques for musicians and recording amateurs, to explore ways to capture a natural ambience if the room is good, or, under adverse acoustic conditions, to obtain a dry enough recording so that a convincing spatial impression can be faked in post-production.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop and headphones with Ardour3 or another DAW of their choice and a selection of generic signal processing plugins pre-installed. After some introductory remarks on various microphone techniques and a plenary demo over loudspeakers, I will distribute example audio snippets for everybody to play with and dissect.
Participants are also encouraged to bring problem recordings of their own for us to discuss, where they attempted to record and/or synthesize spaces and found the result unsatisfactory.
