Section 1: Project Overview
Transcendence reshaped cinematic experiences by emphasizing sound as the core of storytelling, crafting immersive 3D auditory landscapes that seamlessly merged with visuals. Directed by Dr. Roberto Alonso Trillo, it was presented across four performances on May 24, 2024. Audience feedback was collected through informal observation and surveys, providing insights into the project's reception.
Building on 9 Shards, which premiered a month prior, Transcendence pushed the boundaries of immersive environments. The project featured a fixed media piece by renowned Georgian composer Miriam Gvianishvili, blending real-time electronics with violin, delivering a uniquely layered sensory experience.
Section 2: Technical Narrative
Advanced sound spatialization techniques were pivotal in Transcendence, creating dynamic, localized auditory experiences. This process integrated complex pipelines that blurred the line between auditory and visual senses, drawing audiences into an immersive environment that transcended traditional cinematic boundaries.
The combined use of 3D visuals and detailed sound design in both
9 Shards and Transcendence deconstructed the fourth wall, challenging the conventional proscenium stage to transport audiences into a fully realized sensory realm. This approach fostered a groundbreaking exploration of spatialized sound and redefined the immersive experience, offering a localized yet expansive auditory-visual journey.
第一部分:項目概述
Transcendence 透過強調聲音作為敘事的核心,重新定義了電影體驗,打造出與視覺無縫融合的沉浸式3D聽覺景觀。該作品由 Roberto Alonso Trillo 博士執導,於2024年5月24日進行了四場演出,並通過非正式觀察與問卷調查收集了觀眾反饋,提供了該項目受眾反應的洞見。
在一個月前首演的 9 Shards 基礎上,Transcendence 推動了沉浸式環境的邊界。項目呈現了著名喬治亞電子音樂作曲家 Miriam Gvianishvili 的定格媒體作品,將實時電子音樂與小提琴結合,帶來獨特的多層次感官體驗。
第二部分:技術敘事
高級聲音空間化技術是 Transcendence 的關鍵,創造出動態的、本地化的聽覺體驗。該過程融合了複雜的管道,模糊了聽覺和視覺感官之間的界限,將觀眾引入一個超越傳統電影邊界的沉浸式環境。
9 Shards 和 Transcendence 結合 3D 視覺效果和細緻的聲音設計,解構了「第四面牆」,挑戰傳統的舞台框架,將觀眾帶入一個完全實現的感官領域。此方法開創了空間化聲音的新探索,重新定義了沉浸式體驗,呈現出本地化但又擴展的聽覺與視覺之旅。
