Bias and Perception

Experimental and unique after-hour "Dual Stream" live experience on June 18th, which followed this year's "Game Dev Days", Austria's biggest online convention of game developers.

The Jam Session took place in the Green Lobster Studios, featuring an analog modular synth MONSTER of (GreenLobster's senior developer) Martin Widmann, surrounded by a set of pro musicians from different genres. 
The Band had never played nor rehearsed in this constellation. Everything is improvised.

About the "Split Stream" Concept:
The idea was to hear and see the same musical performance from very different perspectives, first that of the person operating the modular synth (Control Room B), second that of a producer sitting in front of the main console (Control Room A), with access to all signals and cameras. We found the idea intriguing, and the result can be seen as a lecture about bias and perception in music and arts.

Don't miss the other Video of the event on this channel :D (cooming soon..)

The technical solution:
Green Lobster Studio is powered by a 36 channel Trident 80 Console, which provided every instrument input during the session.
A customized sub-mix system combines all channels to 16 instrument group channels, like "drum bus", "piano", "modular synth A/B/C" etc., which are distributed to each room over balanced connections. So each musician on each playing position can create a clean, latency-free, separate, and individual mix, set priorities differently, mute parts and instruments, etc.
