Thank you to all of those who have made this possible, including our fantastic team at the University of York, BBC R&D, the BBC Singers and the CoSTAR Network. This project has been a great example of collaboration and the impact of the research that we are doing in the AudioLab!.

Our work on the SAFFIRE project formed part of a new commission by Roderick Williams, combining a live performance of the BBC Singers with singers performing from their homes. In May, we ran a virtual rehearsal via a bespoke app, allowing singers to contribute to the performance.

It was great to hear the contributions from the AudioLab York being recognised at the BBC Singers' Centenary concert last night at The Barbican in London. Professor @helena_daffern had the pleasure of attending the concert and representing the @UniOfYork.

Thanks to everyone who came along to listen to and get involved in the discussion. Thanks also to Annika Neidhardt, Katharina Pollack and Felicia Lim for bringing their expertise and insight to the panel!.

Last week, @GPKSound, Tomasz Rudzki and Jacob Cooper from the AudioLab were part of a panel at hashtag#AVAR2024 discussing Binaural Rendering for Streamed Immersive and Interactive Audio Experiences!
