Chair: Dr Gavin Kearney
Participants: Peter Lennox, Peter Otto (tbc), Bruce Wiggins and eriTony Myatt
In recent years there have been significant advances in sound field control technologies. Some of these technologies provide engineering solutions to everyday problems, however, a significant proportion will only be fully exploited when they are adopted by creative practitioners. In this workshop the panel members will motivate a wide discussion on creative applications of sound field control technology, the barriers that might currently be limiting its application, and future routes to support and encourage creative exploitation.

Chair: Dr Philip Coleman
Participants: Jens Meyer, Hyunkook Lee, Glenn Dickins and Angelo Farina
Many approaches exist to capture and reproduce sound fields, and these often have a similar theoretical basis. However, research into the two areas is often independent. Moreover, sound field control techniques sometimes require content to be captured using a certain approach. This workshop will explore the relationships and interconnections between techniques to capture and reproduce sound fields, the implementation challenges and perceptual implications of these techniques, and future opportunities arising from an integrated perspective on sound field capture and reproduction.
