All art will be exploring the loose theme of "Evolve Love" & kept at affordable prices suiting those from the student budget onwards. Donations towards the project will also be most welcome. All money raised will go straight back into the EVOLVE LOVE project.

AMBISONICS OVERVIEW:

http://www.ambisonic.net

Here's a useful, if slightly technical, description of Ambisonics from noted audio expert and former Audio Engineering Society President, Stanley Lipshitz:


"Ambisonics goes further than stereo in that what it does (to first order) is to sample the acoustic field in such a way that the combination of the signals from all the loudspeakers in the array produces ... a reconstruction of the original acoustic wave field (both travelling and standing wave components). If a listener puts his head in the sound field, because the wavefronts are similar to the original, the perception of directionality and space should correspond to the original too. It is a "wavefront reconstruction" scheme in the small. The ear signals (crosstalk and all) will be correct if the reconstructed wavefronts are correct. This is just like natural hearing. Increasing the number of loudspeakers in Ambisonics (each fed its correctly-decoded signal) increases the accuracy of the reconstruction and the region over which it holds up. The interaural arrival-time differences also correspond to natural hearing in Ambisonics."

Ambisonics thus offers a number of major advantages over current 5.1 systems:

• It provides full surround -- with height ("periphony") -- while requiring only four channels total - but many more can be used.
• The surround-sound image remains largely unaffected by listener position -- no "sweet spot"
• Images can appear anywhere, not solely in the speaker positions
• You can place the loudspeakers in convenient positions -- not necessarily a square
