Experience a High-tech Event
The newest technology in telecommunications and sound will form the basis of teleComando – developed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Carôt, Department of Computer Science at Anhalt University for Applied Sciences, and accompanied by the event systems specialists Neumann & Müller and the quality experts at zafaco GmbH. All of them are supporting the project as technological partners. In doing so, they are making their contribution towards the realisation of something which has never before been achieved in the world of orchestral music: highly complex data transmission as a live event. Up to this point, virtual music-making has been practised already, but the results could only be experienced offline. Here comes an absolutely new approach: Within the dimensions of a whole orchestra, this technology is breaking absolutely new ground - with musicians playing in completely different parts of the continent, but being seen and heard in real time and in one location.
Et voilà: Surrounded by 60 individual screens, conductor Michael Helmrath will lead the Dresdner Sinfoniker live and in front of an audience via monitor. Similarly the musicians - each in individual location across the whole of Germany and Europe - will respond to the directions of the conductor on screen. The large challenge is any time delay - and will be solved perfectly.
