Immersive Sound

Immersive Music

Immersive Computing

The quest for immersion is — quite literally — all around us, and it has been a significant driver of research and development in the academy, the industry, and within artistic communities in the past decades. But what makes an experience immersive?

Spatial sound quickly comes to mind, and it will be a very relevant part of SMC 2024, both in the paper and the music / sonic art sessions. But there is more to immersion than spatial sound alone:

  • the timbral possibilities afforded by novel sound design and synthesis algorithms certainly play a big role in the envelopment of a sonic experience (immersive sound);
  • the temporal development of musical discourse and performance can determine its ability to become, as T. S. Eliot famously wrote, “Music heard so deeply / That is not heard at all, but you are / The music / While the music lasts" (immersive music);
  • new strategies to engage with digital sound and music, both on studio and on stage, can open new paths for involving human computer interaction (immersive computing).

All of these themes — and much more — were addressed in SMC 2024: have a look at the Conference's flickr album!

Call for Music & Sonic Art

SMC 2024 welcomes Music & Sonic Art contributions that are related to the core topics in Sound and Music Computing research for the concert program during the conference week. Concerts, performances and installations during SMC 2024 will be programmed in the most appropriate space at or around ESMAE and live performances are specially encouraged.

The theme of this year's SMC conference is Immersive Sound, Immersive Music, Immersive Computing. Submissions emphasizing these topics are strongly encouraged.

Music & Sonic Art from any genre and in any formats is invited for submission. All submissions will be peer-reviewed, but authors are not required to anonymize them: SMC 2024 applies a single-blind peer review. The review will happen in two rounds:

  • The first is a single-blind peer review by the Artistic Committee, that will judge the quality and relevance of the proposal for the SMC conference.
  • On the second round, the Organising Committee will address the feasibility of the selected pieces and build the concert and installation programmes for the conference.

It is thus very important that all submissions state very clearly the human and technical resources needed for each performance and installation, as well as which of those resources will be provided by the authors and which are expected to be provided by the host institution. ESMAE hosts state of the art audio equipment (including immersive sound systems), as well as musicians in various traditions and formations (from solo to symphonic orchestra).

Participants are encouraged to explore, but of course not limit to:

  • Live solo or ensemble: solo or ensemble performances that can be performed live, with or without the use of immersive audio and/or video technologies. A recording of the edited ensemble has to be submitted for review, however the accepted works will be performed live on-site.
  • Media-based performances: pre-recorded music & sonic art performances leveraging immersive audio and/or video technologies.
  • Installations: music & sonic art installations, with or without the use of interactivity.

Submissions should be made using the SMC2024 Conference Management Toolkit's website. The submission of the title, abstract, and complete list of authors should be done first, followed by the submission of the proposal and supplementary files:

Mandatory files (two PDF files, maximum size 20MB each):

  • A submission proposal with description of the performance / installation in the form of program notes.
  • A detailed technical rider, which should clearly specify how long the performance will last and include the details of both technical requirements and setup times.

Supplementary files (up to five files, maximum size 500 MB each, using formats mp4, mov, wav, aif, flac, mp3, and pdf), which can be added using the option "Upload Supplementary Material", available in CTM's Author Console after the creation of the submission:

  • Audio / Audiovisual performance / documentation of the piece.
  • The score of the work (if applicable).
  • Other relevant files.

Title & abstract submission deadline (strict!): February 24th, 2024.

Music & sonic art submission (strict!): March 11th, 2024

After notification of acceptance, all participants have a chance to further edit the uploaded material to make a performance-ready submission. Only one submission per participant will be accepted. Please note the submission proposal is for informative purposes for the selection and will not be included in the conference proceedings. Artists must hold the copyright of submitted materials to be used in SMC2024.

Each accepted music submission needs to be covered by an in-person registration (student or full, as appropriate). If the authors of the music submission are already SMC 2024 paper authors and have registered for the conference, their music submission can be covered with the same registration. Kindly indicate in the submission form if the first author of a submission is a student author.

For any questions, please contact the SMC 2024 Music Chairs: Ângela da Ponte, Dimitrios Andrikopoulos and Rui Penha.

Workshop with Sound Particles

“Sound Particles is an immersive audio software capable of generating thousands (even millions) of sounds in a virtual 3D audio world. Creating highly complex sounds has never been this quick.”

In this workshop, participants will discover the amazing software developed by Sound Particles and used by great artists and music producers in the Hollywood industry. Its flexibility enables users to work in different audio formats for different media (film, VR, TV or videogames).

Workshop with Carlos Guedes - Immersion, music, technology and ethics: four important variables of a complex equation

Immersion — the process by which one or more of the senses become saturated as environmental objects surround us — is an important concept in understanding culture and technology in the 21st century. Its pervasiveness is so widespread that in many situations it is hard to understand the degree of immersion one is at in our everyday lives. Although the idea of immersion in arts rather ancient, technological developments in the past 40 years or so led to a disengagement of the immersive experience from the place where it occurs making it increasingly present in our lives. The way we engage with music listening is perhaps at the forefront of this radical development in contemporary life, with the appearance of the Walkman. The idea of carrying one’s music everywhere led the way to carrying our own realities everywhere with the advent of mobile technologies that not only play our music, but also our own worlds (photos, videos) and constantly mediate our connection with the outside world.

Music making has often led to socio-cultural revolutions in ways that were at times disruptive leading to profound societal changes (cf. Jacques Attali’s Noise). Looking into what is going on with music creation these days, through the availability of cheap recording technologies, the impact of generative artificial intelligence, social media and the widespread availability of streaming services, important issues are raised. The apparent ease with which one is able to record, create, and make available music digitally is paradoxically excluding some music cultures systematically. The technologies we are developing (including AI) are systematically biased by cultural beliefs and assumptions, raising deep ethical questions about the supposedly inclusive nature of these ubiquitous technologies.

This workshop focuses on the problems raised by the current state of affairs and aims to raise critical awareness on the issues highlighted above. It is oriented to musicians and technology developers without any assumption of specialized technical background. By looking at some philosophical concepts, media studies, and some state-of-the-art work currently being undertaken, it is aimed at being a provocatory/idea generation session on how to tackle these issues towards a more inclusive technological development.

Workshop with Francisca Rocha Gonçalves

In this workshop, participants will explore the depths of aquatic environments and discover the hidden soundscapes of aquatic life. Using specialised equipment such as hydrophones, they will embark on a journey to listen, record and connect with the underwater world.

The aim is to introduce participants to underwater soundscapes, their ecological significance, and the techniques for recording and understanding them. To reconnect participants and natural environments while raising awareness of the problem of underwater noise pollution.

Keynote Speakers

Keynote 1 - July 4th, 14h30

Enactive Immersion, by Dermot Furlong

Recorded Music is now the most popular form of Music Listening.

Stereo recording has become the accepted commercial norm for audio recording and production. Coincident and Spaced stereo recording techniques were adopted as two standards for stereo recording, each allowing for particular Listener perceptual phenomena to be emphasized.

Coincident stereo capabilities were technologically developed to specify a pan-pot stereo Localisation experience, thereby enabling creative studio recorded music production. Coincident stereo was therefore accepted as an artistically viable studio recorded music production technique.

Spaced stereo recording presents listeners with a degree of Immersion experience, which is often an aesthetically appealing feature of the reconstructed sound. However, to date a creative Immersion control capability has not been realised for studio production use.

This is an artistic limitation, which contributed to the definition and development of a variety of alternative ‘Surround Sound’ formats over the decades for spatial experience extension.

The question of how 2-channel stereo recordings could be technologically processed to facilitate the artistic manipulation of Listener Immersive experience is offered new answers by the adoption of the Enaction worldview. Enaction demands a focus on the required sensory signal characteristics which enable auditory Immersion to be experienced. These enabling signal characteristics permit the operation of the mental Image Schemas (Organizing Ideas) that are relevant for the perception of Immersion.

Enactive processing thereby permits effective control of varying degrees of perceptual Immersion based on manipulation of standard 2 channel stereo format signals.

Furlong

Dermot Furlong studied Engineering Science in Trinity College Dublin with a particular personal focus on electronics, acoustics, and audio engineering. He also studied classical guitar and developed an interest in musical acoustics and recording techniques. He subsequently worked as a corporate engineer for Westinghouse Electric in the U.S. and Ireland before returning to Trinity as a lecturer so that he could engage in further research on audio and music related issues. His area of particular interest is that of architectural acoustics, spatial audio perception and its significance for music recording technique. In 1995 he was involved in the definition of the postgraduate Music and Media Technologies (MMT) programme in Trinity, for which he has been Course Director since its initiation in 1996. His current research interests relate to the development of audio engineering technologies derived from musical and cognitive concerns. He has been a member of the Audio Engineering Society, the Acoustical Society of America, and EUCognition.

Keynote 2 - July 5th, 14h30

Underwater Soundscapes: fostering connection and awareness through sonic immersion, by Francisca Rocha Gonçalves

In this keynote, I will explore the concept of immersion applied to my personal artistic practice, specifically through the medium of underwater sound recordings. My work connects with a growing awareness into the experience of being fully present in the moment—both during the process of capturing the subtle, often unnoticed sounds of the underwater world, and in the deep, attentive listening that follows.

Sound, as an artistic and sensory medium, has the unique ability to induce a state of intense focus, allowing us to transcend our immediate surroundings and connect with the environment on a more intimate level. The idea is to examine how such immersive practices can foster a heightened awareness and appreciation for the sonic world around us, nurturing a deeper connection with our environment, while promoting nature-connectedness.

By integrating this hyperfocus into our daily lives, we can elevate our presence and mindfulness, using our acute attention to sound as a means to deepen our environmental appreciation. I will draw from my artistic practice to share insights, including examples of how underwater soundscapes have been essential in creating this personal immersive experience. We will examine the impact of attentive listening, and the broader implications for using this “superpower” of deep tuning to enrich our daily lives and strengthen our connection to the natural world.

Exploring the intersection of art, sound, and attention, the objective is to discover how the practice of immersive listening can eventually transform our perception of the world and our place within it.

Goncalves

Francisca Rocha Gonçalves is a researcher from Porto, currently living in Berlin. Recently worked on the AQUATAG project at the IGB Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries. Has a background in biological sciences with a degree in Veterinary Medicine from ICBAS (University of Porto), a Multimedia Master in Interactive Music and Sound Design from FEUP (University of Porto), and a PhD in Digital Media from FEUP (University of Porto). The research focuses on acoustic ecology in artistic creation as a tool for environmental awareness concerning underwater soundscapes. Developing artistic artefacts that reveal the problem of noise pollution in underwater environments is possible to understand changes in vibration and particle motion, both vital components in aquatic life.
Combining interests in sound, technology, art and science, it aims to raise societal and environmental awareness through artistic practices and sound art. A great passion for biology and music led to a demand to find synergies between nature and sound. Bridging these two worlds, Francisca attempts to find new musical approaches, not only for musical compositions but also for live performances.
Presently is working for ICARUS, collaborating with Dr Johannes Goessling. ICARUS is an arts-science project that focuses on the photonic properties of diatoms and creates upscaled ice sculptures of their internal shells. Co-founder of the artistic collective Openfield Creative Lab. Co-founder of Ocean Soundscape Awareness project - ØSAW.

Keynote 3 - July 6th, 14h30

Sound from everywhere: Immersive Realities and Fictions in Sound-art and Composition, by Natasha Barrett

When I was invited to present a keynote at SMC2024, I was inspired by the conference's central question: what makes an experience truly immersive? This concept can be interpreted in various ways, influenced by the listener, the context, and the technology available. Even the definition of 'immersive' is open to interpretation.

I decided to shape my presentation around these considerations, focusing on three immersive themes in my work with Ambisonics to create and control 3D soundfields in artistic interventions. These themes include site-specific outdoor immersive experiences in urban noise habitats, composed concert works, and live improvised immersive performances. A common theme across all these threads is the transformative role of the latest tools in realising our creative ideas. This progression results in an accumulation of knowledge and creativity in my artistic practice, rather than merely replacing the old with the new. At the end of the presentation I will play a real-time demo, an extract from an outdoor immersive sound installation, and insights into my current work in progress "Toxic Colour”.

Barrett

Natasha Barrett (NO/ UK) composes concert works, public space sound-art installations and multimedia interactive music using a broad palette of sounds, new technologies and experimental techniques.

Location

The School of Music and Performing Arts (ESMAE) is a national and international reference for higher education in arts. Located in the centre of Porto, ESMAE has an international standing, and offers customised and cutting-edge higher education programmes in music and drama.

Built in 1985, on the foundations of the former School of Music, this is one of the founding schools of the Porto Polytechnic. Today it features two departments - music and theatre - and a postgraduate programme in Dance was created in 2016.

ESMAE is home to the Helena Sá e Costa Theatre and to the Café-Concert Francisco Beja, and apart from being a space for creating and experimenting, it is the venue of over 500 art events annually. The ESMAE Symphony Orchestra, the ESMAE Baroque Orchestra and the ESMAE Jazz Orchestra, among many others, are often the performers in many of those events.
