Abstract
In spite of recent widespread interest in network technologies for
real-time musical collaboration between distant locations, there
has been little focus on spatial audio in such applications. We discuss
the potential for dynamic spatialization in the context of network
music collaboration, in particular through the use of Higher
Order Ambisonics. We describe a platform for real-time encoding,
streaming and decoding of spatial audio using Ambisonics,
and provide details of two case studies of creative applications
built on top of this platform. We demonstrate that Higher Order
Ambisonics is a viable and effective means for real-time, simultaneous
spatialization in multiple locations, and that it enables a
range of creative uses that explore the nature of space, distance
and location in networked performance.
