#ambisonics #spatialaudio #immersiveaudio #binaural #futureofaudio

Music-making has gone through several technological revolutions: from mono to stereo over surround to 3D sound. All these revolutions started from technological progress. The artists and composers embraced the technology later on, allowing them to innovate their art form. Beethoven changed his composing style when he got a new English piano, film music changed radically when the soundtrack was introduced (instead of the live piano music accompaniment). Today a similar revolution is taking place: the technology for immersive music in 3D applications and VR is available. Artists and composers are yet to follow. A gigantic creative space is waiting to be explored by innovative and experimental bands, films and games.

Steven Maes has been experimenting with sound tools for the past twenty-five years, using everything from lamp microphones to 360 video and Ambisonic immersive sound technology. Passionate about classical music, he has directed television programs, made hundreds of recordings and mastered CDs for popular music artists from Adamo to Lost Frequencies. His recordings have been praised in BBC Music Magazine Diapason and Gramophone. His DVD 392 (on Pieter Wispelwey’s recording of the Bach Cello Suites) was met with great acclaim. Classica selected his recording of Debussy’s La Mer (Brussels Philharmonic) as the best classical reference of all time. Recently he made recordings with London Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra, in 2016 & 17 Steven made two recordings that won the prestigious Echo Classic in Germany. Steven is on faculty at PXL University College in Hasselt, Belgium, where he supervises thesis projects and teaches studio techniques and is the founder of Motor Music Recording Studios.
