Web-based educational spatial audio system and interfaces for Boulez’ Dialogue de l’ombre double by Alex Ruhtmann

Presented by Alex Ruthmann

This presentation shares the development process and working version of a web-based “spatial audio playground” designed to present Pierre Boulez’s seminal mixed-music work Dialogue de l’ombre double (1985). This playground highlights the complementary roles that the composer, audio engineer/RIM, clarinetist, and audience members play in the presentation and experience of Dialogue. Originally conceived and prototyped as part of Dr. S. Alex Ruthmann’s artistic research residency at IRCAM in 2020, this playground has been expanded to also serve as a web-based practice and performance realization environment for similar spatial audio pieces, in addition to its primary purpose as an interactive education tool for communicating the complexities of key spatial audio and mobile music works such as Pierre Boulez’ Domains (1961-1968), and Elliot Carter’s Clarinet Concerto (1996). This playground displays interactive score elements that allow a general audience member to follow visual representations and score excerpts in synchronization with binaural or discrete 6-channel spatialized audio recordings. Accessing the interface via mobile phone, tablet, or computer desktop, the audience member can place themselves in the virtual perspectives of the performer, audio engineer, or audience member, with the ability (where appropriate) to move around the space during the experience of the piece. These features also allow the user to be in live control of the sound spatialization cues, stepping into, rehearsing, and performing the live mixing roles of the audio engineer/RIM for Dialogue. The spatial audio playground may also be used by performers who wish to use a live web-audio environment to rehearse and present a live performance of Dialogue, with the added ability of being able to rehearse and experience the spatial audio aspects of the piece from the perspective of the audience or performer. A live audio engineer can also use the playground to realize the piece for performance.
