ascolta – Akusmatische Hörstunde

Konzert

22.04.2025, 18:00

Toni-Areal, Kompositionsstudio 3.D02, Ebene 3, Pfingstweidstrasse 96, Zürich

#14

In this session we will listen to classic electroacoustic compositions in two different versions:
-A recent 5.1 production from ICST/ZHdK
-A historic Ambisonics (UHJ) recording from the 1970s

We look forward to comparing these versions.

Additional Information:

  • 5.1 Surround Format
  • Stereo UHJ: A process that encodes strictly horizontal Ambisonics signals into a compatible two-channel stereo format using matrix technology originally developed for Quadraphonics. However, this encoding is lossy.
  • We decoded the original UHJ into a 7th-order ambiX B-format and are using the ICST Ambisonics MultiDecoder for playback.
