In preparation for his Sound/Image Festival 2024 performance, Jo came and worked with our Digital Immersive Theatre exploring 360 video and 3D Sound.
Joseph Hyde’s background is in electroacoustic music, but his work has moved into diverse areas, incorporating a wide variety of stylistic influences, live electronics, audiovisual and immersive elements. He is a regular collaborator, usually with non-musicians: dancers, visual artists, technologists and scientists. He is an Emeritus Professor in Creative Music Technology at Bath Spa University, and is currently engaged in a number of freelance projects exploring new combinations of immersive sound and image. Currently he is working full-time on the Celestial Live project (supported by InnovateUK), developing methods to fly drone light shows using interactive control.
Jo says “I had a fantastic couple of days in the Bathway Theatre making a fully immersive (360 video, 3rd order Ambisonic sound) of my Signal to Noise performance. It was very satisfying and extremely fun to expand my ideas on such a spectacular canvas. Thanks to Brona, Emma and Liam for some expert help – everything ran incredibly smoothly!“
