Maybe everyone was in my neighborhood. It was off the charts. Some houses had lines!

Dynamic delay or just gain? Asking for a friend.

Hey SXSW attendees! Andrew Schneider and I will be chatting about interactive and immersive experience, specifically in regards to technology like wave field synthesis, spatial audio, volumetric lighting, and audience and performer tracking.

Every so often I mess around with pure data, just to remind myself that it's an option for a lot of stuff.

I take it wine isn't a reliable solution anymore?

Sure thing! I circle in this world a bit, so feel free to reach out any time.

Often groups like MW have in-house sound designers / creative engineers who work full time. They post hiring opportunities every so often. There was an open position at MW in 2023 if I remember correctly.

One time I dropped my phone on that controller during the 20-min blackout in AFTER. There was about a 90% chance of jumping to a lights-at-full scene and blinding the entire audience. I was very lucky. Non sequential interfaces are not for the faint of heart!

My god I recognized my 10-year old handwriting without even clicking on the photo. You know we use the same controller for ALL of the shows, right?

👀 What kind of synthesis?

I've only got 50% of twins up as of 6:44am

Nice sweater. I missed out on these!

A long black horizontal loudspeaker array with small drivers every 2 inches. 5 speaker stands hold up the array. Some curtains behind the array and some boxes on the floor. The room is a bit cluttered. Looks like a photo from a load-in (which is true).

Wave field synthesis array 1 of 3 (372 individual channels total) for an installation. Custom built speakers.

Hey #gameaudio Anyone working on this?
youtu.be/j76LZRBEQ4I?...

It's much much better here. Also, why did I not hear about lightning bolt?! I hope it was fun.

I found a wave field synthesis array in the wild!

Looking good! This is your 16-ch wave field synthesis array, yeah? With the enclosed drivers?

Anyone building custom AVB multichannel amplifiers? Asking for a friend.

👀

I wonder if there's a wave field synthesis starter pack

Hey! They're hiring a replacement for my old position at Oakland University (just north of Detroit, MI). If you're interested, feel free to DM me any questions.

Maybe all the other bands are playing Fri + Sat, and Sun is just one long Jesus Lizard set

Ha!

I mean that would be absurd...

I experienced this at MASS MoCA! It was there for years.

I've been keeping up with the members ever since. Both Rachel Grimes and Christian Frederickson put out solo works. Lots of stuff on their bandcamps. Definitely recommend digging through.

Same. I collected everything. I saw them a bunch in early 00s in CA. They hold a huge place in my heart.

How small of an area does it affect? Could you wrap your hand around the vibration/pressure (I'm assuming that's how it works)? Or did it make more of a wall?
