South Bend Symphony Orchestra Brings the Audience Onstage with Flux:: Immersive
Summary
“For us, the challenge was to think outside the box and find a way to make music and employ musicians safely, and bring music to an arts-deprived audience,” explains Eric Friedlander, Sound Designer for the Octet and Production Manager for the Festival. “We had some discussions about potential concepts, and after identifying the boundaries of the project – prospective spaces, sizes of ensembles we could safely record, etc. – I suggested a semi-portable circular sound system where each recorded instrument would be assigned to a loudspeaker. This seemed like the perfect opportunity.” After presenting proof of concept and getting signoff from the Symphony, the next step was building a semi-portable system, comprising eight JBL CBT50 speakers on tripods. Friedlander utilized the WAVES LV1 platform to record the octet, enabling him to easily import and export to and from Pro Tools using Soundgrid and run SPAT as inserts.
