Music-making has gone through several technological revolutions<\/strong>: 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<\/strong>. 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<\/strong> 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. PXL-Music wants to investigate what this technological evolution can bring to the world of music through several case studies.

\nAs a listener and viewer, you are amidst the performance, allowing you to view and listen to the music in different ways. The instruments and playing techniques are chosen carefully to add detail to the sound and to give the spectator the opportunity to wander around: percussion, polyphony, sudden stops and guitar solos grab the attention of the listener\/viewer.
