The Mahler Chamber Orchestra App features a series of spatial computing recordings that were created in collaboration with MCOs Artistic Partner for Immersive Experiences, Henrik Oppermann/Schallgeber. These recordings include a series of intimate solo and duo performances by MCO musicians and collaborators, including: concertmaster Matthew Truscott; violinists Timothy Summers, Anna Matz, and Alexandra Preucil; violists Antoine Tamestit, Joel Hunter, and Florent Bremond; cellist Stefan Faludi; and oboist Mizuho Yoshii. The first release will include works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Béla Bartók, and Georg Philipp Telemann.
These recordings involve the listener physically, mentally and socially in the process of music making. This is not only listening, but also creating. MCO violinist and collaborator of the MCO App, Timothy Summers says: "To listen is not just to experience, but to investigate". The spatial computing environment in the VisionPro offers a rich and active listening experience, giving users the opportunity to feel as though they are present inside the music itself. This level of interaction and engagement encourages an active, participatory form of listening, where users can freely change positions and explore the orchestra interactively.
