Es wird über Immersion, Raum in der Musik, die Philosophie von immersiven Musikmischungen und deren Authentizität gesprochen. Anhand von Musikbeispielen werden klangästhetische Gestaltungsmittel von akustischer Musik bei immersiver Musikproduktion dargelegt.

Where Art meets Science: Patricia Barber’s New Album of Standards “Clique!” in Ultra High Definition and 5.1 Surround
Patricia Barber, the performer known for boldly blurring the lines between poetry, jazz, and art song, released a new all-standards album "Clique!" (Impex Records) in breathtaking hi-fi. The long-awaited successor to Nightclub, her critically acclaimed and fan-favorite first all-standards album, "Clique!" features a tracklist of tunes that Barber has frequently performed as encores throughout her illustrious career, including classics by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stevie Wonder, Lee Hazlewood, Lerner & Loewe, Thelonious Monk and more. After growing an international cult following, earning the first-ever Guggenheim Fellowship awarded to a non-classical songwriter, and becoming an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Patricia Barber is back with a "silk, velvet, languid, warm" journey through music history as she "respects traditions, bends them to make her own points, and freshens them into something new," as noted in the album liner notes by NPR's Susan Stamberg.
The stakes were high to follow up in the footsteps of the previous albums and accolades sonically as well. Producer and Engineer Jim Anderson enlisted Ulrike Schwarz to explore ways to surpass the audiophile benchmarks he had already created and now Ulrike is here to present the results. This workshop will explore the process of the album's conception, the steps of the production to the release formats and how the sounds turned into the album's secret star.
