The virtual orchestra is playing Mozart's music: from the sound of music to the Sound of Science. Digital twins - sophisticated virtual models of real-world counterparts - are transforming the industrial world. But what if their focus was applied to the world of music; to digitising sound itself? Wonderful, deep-dive article from Thomas Macaulay at TNW, from Salzburg's prestigious Großes Festspielhaus, exploring how technology is allowing musicians to explore and manipulate the acoustics of a concert hall before ever setting foot inside. "By simulating sounds within the virtual domain, the twin reveals the sonic workings of the physical realm." This opens possibilities for a new era in acoustic simulation, transforming how we experience sound. https://lnkd.in/d9i88H3y Anne Kinalzyk Dennis Schmidt-Bordemann Ophelie Janus Caroline Carpenter Florian Martini Charlie DiPasquale

YWMP has been working on the Safer Spaces policy for quite some time, and we would love to hear from you about your experiences at live music venues. Have you ever had a less than positive night out? Perhaps you went to see a band play and the door person was aggressive when they checked your ticket, or maybe another patron approached you in a threatening way and the music venue staff didn’t react in an appropriate manner when you spoke to them about it. We probably all know someone who has been spiked. We want to hear about your experiences so that we can build a policy that will reflect them, and keep us safer when we’re having fun. Let’s disrupt the status quo of gig going culture together. Fill out the survey below, and read more about the Safer Spaces policy. https://lnkd.in/dVcmsg9c
