Virtual Sound Gallery (VSG) is a web stage for modern multichannel music, sound, and audiovisual art. It is an accessible, web-based virtual reality (VR) environment for a visualized binaural simulation of multichannel sound reproduction. In this environment, a user can change their location among virtual loudspeakers and rotate their head to get the best spatial listening experience. In addition, an integrated video engine provides the ability to play visual content on one or several virtual screens in sync with the audio. VSG provides access to different electroacoustic music compositions presented in several virtual exhibitions and classified by concepts, styles, and organizations.

The performance involves audience participation with their mobile devices. Connected to a wireless network and organized into one polyphonic multichannel synthesizer, those devices reproduce different noises, samples, and synthesized sounds from random locations in the hall. In addition, loudspeakers complement the phone choir to add dynamic climaxes and low-frequency effects. The name of the performance refers to academic music traditions. The author emphasizes the similarity in musical nature of the Concert for Smartphones and any classical concert for soloist and orchestra. The performance is an experiment in exploring possible ways of using an audience’s mobile devices as a medium for sound diffusion in the context of a traditionally composed electroacoustic musical piece.
