Abstract

Despite of its long history, opera as an art form is constantly evolving. Composers have never lost their fascination about it and keep exploring with innovative aesthetics, techniques, and modes of expression. New technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR), Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are steadily having an impact upon the world of opera. The evolving use of performance-based software such as Ableton Live and Max/MSP has created new and exciting compositional techniques that intertwine theatrical and musical performance. This paper presents some initial work on the development of an opera using such technologies that is being composed by Kallionpää and Chamberlain. Furthermore, it presents two composition case studies by Kallionpää: "She" (2017) and puppet opera "Croak" (2018), as well as their documentation within the world's first 360° 3D VR recordings with full spatial audio in third-order Ambisonics and the application of an unmixing paradigm for focusing and isolating individual voices.

建构中:新美学、新技术、新技术十字路口的当代歌剧

尽管历史悠久，歌剧作为一种艺术形式也在不断发展。作曲家们从未失去对它的迷恋，并不断探索创新的美学、技术和表现方式。虚拟现实(VR)、机器人技术和人工智能(AI)等新技术正在稳步影响歌剧世界。不断发展的使用基于性能的软件，如Ableton Live和Max/MSP创造了新的和令人兴奋的作曲技术，交织戏剧和音乐表演。本文介绍了一些使用这种技术的歌剧开发的初步工作，该技术正在由Kallionpää和Chamberlain组成。此外，它还介绍了Kallionpää的两个作曲案例研究:“She”(2017)和木偶剧“Croak”(2018)，以及它们在世界上第一个360°3D VR录音中的记录，其中包含三阶立体声的全空间音频，以及用于聚焦和隔离个人声音的解混范式的应用。
