Hi everyone,
following up on the recent thread about (the lack of) Ambisonics at
upcoming conventions, I'd like to inform you about this year's VDT
International Convention (aka the "Tonmeistertagung"), to take place in
Cologne, Germany, Nov. 17-20 2016:
http://www.tonmeister.de/index.php?p=tonmeistertagung/2016
The program is not completely in English, but many of the cutting-edge
research papers are.
I'm a little bit proud to say that through many years of continuous
grass-roots efforts, Ambisonics has finally made it onto the radar of
the European professional audio community, not the least since the VDT
founded and co-hosted the International Conferences on Spatial Audio,
which have worked little miracles in bringing the research community and
the professional audio market in touch.
Consequently, the last VDT convention in 2014 has featured an
Ambisonics-capable lecture hall for the first time (3h2v only, but it's
a start, and it was for more than 100 people), and we're looking for an
excuse to provide one again this year.
So please save the date, and keep your workshop ideas and paper
presentations coming. It's still a while before the call for papers, but
I'd welcome some signs on- or off-list about the kind of interest we can
expect to kick some spherical harmonic butt, at a conference that has
had a strong reputation for 3D audio topics and drawn thousands of
highly skilled visitors, 180 exhibitors and more than 200 paper
presentations in the past.
And the more interest we see, the more resources we can justify to put
into a nice Ambi rig.
Disclaimer: I'm a member of VDT and work for them as technical director
of the conference.
Best,
Jörn
