L-ISA Soundscape
UNC School of the Arts
While at UNCSA, I had the opportunity to set up and program a L'Acoustics L-ISA system that a fellow student, Nora Cuthbertson, was able to design a soundscape for. The installation has since remained up and has now served as a way for other students in the department to create their own soundscapes on.
I was also in charge of creating the public-facing interface that members of the community could interact with to experience the soundscape. I used TouchOSC to send start and stop commands to QLab, as well as control various parameters of the L-ISA processor itself. I coordinated with a few graduate film composition students on campus to load some of their multitrack compositions into QLab, and then let audience members mix them on the system to experience what these new immersive technologies are capable of.

This is the main screen that an audience member would see when they approached an iPad in the center of the installation.

If the audience member chose to, they could mix a composition created by students in the composition program on campus. When they chose to start someone's piece, it would update the channel labels to match the instrument it was controlling.
