“ It’s a really fascinating experience.. First of all to record myself on a green screen and to see my own performance which was interesting, and all music is spontaneous..., and then for that to be integrated into a hall i already know, it’s really delightful to see. I mean I am just so pleased to be involved with this. It’s thrilling”

“ Musicians and performing artists are now training in home spaces, visually and acoustically poor in comparison to real venues. Their livelihoods are also in peril as live performance venues remain closed,with losses so far totalling £13.9 million. I want musicians to be able to monetise this because the creative industries are struggling so much at the momemt”

"We are very excited about the chance to develop this tool as it will provide musicians with the opportunity to practice coping with and responding to the visual and auditory features of performance spaces while still in an environment that is safe. As such, this project stands to make a significant contribution to how we teach and train musicians, in the future as well as in the current Covid-19 response.”

“Imagine practising with your instrument, whether it is a piano or your own voice, and being able to choose the acoustic environment around you, and hear how your music sounds in different rooms and concert halls, all within an immersive audio-visual experience. This must be the future!”
