Thomas Dolby to give Keynote at New York Convention
AES 145th Convention Thomas Dolby will deliver the keynote address during the Opening Ceremonies of the AES New York 2018 International Convention. Since he burst onto the music scene in the 80s with genre-warping compositions and a pioneering production style that embraced and exploited emerging technologies, Prof. Dolby has been a seminal influence on legions of musicians, fans and audio professionals alike. With the title “The Conscious Sound Byte,” his keynote will focus on next-generation sound technologies, in particular adaptive/non-linear music and audio for games, VR/AR, “hearables” and other new media platforms. Register now and make sure to join your colleagues for the audio meeting of the year.
