Michel Deluc worked closely with software designers Thierry Coduys, and Guillaume Jacquemin, co-inventors of the digital creation-oriented IanniX graphical sequencer, based on a system designed by famed modernist composer Iannis Xenakis.Īs a musician, a multidisciplinary artist, and a producer, Thierry Coduys has acted as the sound engineer for some of world’s most acclaimed modern composers including Pascal Dusapin, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Luciano Berio, and pianists and performers Marielle and Katia Labèque. From the onset, Amadeus has housed a scientific research and conceptualization department, led by Michel Deluc, dedicated to, among other things, the design of custom-made acoustical and electro-acoustical solutions for a wide range of clients, including theaters, opera houses, studios, musicians, producers, composers, multidisciplinary artists, research centers, and more… Amadeus was founded in 1992 with the reunion between designer Bernard Byk and scientist Michel Deluc, and today Amadeus has become a reference brand for sound professionals.Īmadeus enjoys close ties with major musical and scientific institutions, both national and international. The cooperation of contributors from prestigious French institutions, among them, the first users and beta-testers of our spatial sound processor, was essential, adds Gaetan Byk.įor over twenty years, Amadeus has designed, built and marketed a wide range of electro-acoustical playback systems and very high-end signal processing equipment, bringing together high technology, style and emotion. We wanted to offer our future users a simple, intuitive and ergonomic tool, perfectly optimized considering the needs and demands in the theatrical, musical and performance fields. Thanks to the HOLOPHONIX project, Amadeus has gathered and utilized with the best technological, scientific and pure research resources, and some of the top French user-experts in the field for live spatial sound. Our long-term and close relationships with the teams at Paris-based IRCAM Institute, and their trust in Amadeus for almost 15 years, has inevitably led us to get closer to integrating into the HOLOPHONIX processor a large part of their technologies related to the spatialization of sound, says Gaetan Byk, Amadeus’ Marketing Manager. This project brings together a plurality of talents from the most prestigious French musical, theatrical, and scientific institutions – and their experience and knowledge are as rich as they are complementary. The HOLOPHONIX processor creates an extremely advanced platform which is able to mix, reverberate and spatialize sound contents played from various devices using several different spatialization techniques in two or three dimensions, says Thierry Coduys, Chief Technology Officer who was intimately involved in the creation of the HOLOPHONIX processor.Ĭo-designed with world-renowned French InstitutionsĪmadeus collaborated with several top engineers from world-renowned musical and theatrical institutions, including Jean-Marc Harel from La Gaîté Lyrique Theater, Marc Piera from Chaillot National Theater, Dominique Bataille and Samuel Maitre from Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier – one of the three theaters of the world-famous Comédie-Française – and Dewi Seignard from Les Champs Libres Cultural Center in Rennes. Reflection calculators allow the user to create several virtual sound spaces. It allows users to combine several different artificial reverberations, homogeneously combining sound materials and fine-tuning the perceived sound depth. The processor is structured around a powerful multichannel algorithmic reverberation engine. The HOLOPHONIX processor brings together several different spatialization techniques including Wave Field Synthesis, High-Order Ambisonics, Distance-Based Amplitude Panning, and more, enabling intuitive placement and movement of sources in a 2D and/or 3D space, comments Michel Deluc, Amadeus’ R&D Manager. Designed for Live Sound Spatialization and Immersive Experiencesĭevelopment of the HOLOPHONIX system is undoubtedly the most ambitious and the most exciting project we have initiated for a very a long time.
