Robert Hamilton & Juan-Pablo Caceres
Music in the Metaverse: Networked Musical Performance with Virtual Environments: We present our current and prospective work in musical performance with distributed musicians across the globe and Metaverse worlds. Why network performance and virtual worlds? Several new dimensions including shared acoustical spaces, polyvalent musical forms and virtual-world-based reactive sonic environments are showcased. Plans for a forthcoming concert between Milan and Stanford using the new Sirikata platform and high-quality network audio will also be discussed.
