Abstract
Venues designed to create immersive audio experiences may include adjustable active acoustics and spatial audio mixing. One such venue is National Sawdust in Brooklyn, New York, which has presented many spatial audio events. For one of these, the electronic music duo “Mouse on Mars,” comprised of Jan St. Werner and Andi Thoma, collaborated with the late Jamaican record producer Lee “Scratch” Perry to create an immersive audio experience presented in March 2022. This audio production presented a challenge, as the content was prepared in Berlin and delivered in Brooklyn using audio systems with significantly different loudspeaker configurations. National Sawdust incorporates a Meyer Sound Constellation active acoustic system with 86 small full-range loudspeakers, 16 compact low-frequency loudspeakers, and a left/right PA system. The Berlin studio includes 20 loudspeakers. Audio sources were spatially mixed to the loudspeakers in both systems using an integrated Spacemap System. The workflow used to prepare this concert and the impact of additional production elements, including active acoustics, lighting, seating, and video, are discussed.
