CREATION OF A HYPER-REALISTIC REMOTE MUSIC SESSION WITH PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS AND PUBLIC AUDIENCES USING 5G COMMODITY HARDWARE

The principle of distributed music with musicians performing in different locations and connected via the Internet has been investigated over several decades, with numerous performances demonstrated mostly as a proof of concept. In this workshop paper we describe our novel approach of creating a hyper-realistic interaction scenario with professional music celebrity Jamie Cullum, three public audiences and an online teaching class using 5G hardware. We explain the general motivation of the event, the technical setup in terms of audio, video and 5G networking and the technical as well as artistic challenges. This workshop paper provides general information about the event. Technical details, descriptive media and further insights will be provided within the workshop presentation.
