Well, well... hello tribe! I'm glad to participate again in the challenge. I'll be sharing my creative process, I hope you enjoy it and all your comments will be most welcomed!

When I was researching a little more about the benefits of 5G, one of the words that appeared and triggered the idea on which I am going to base this project was "latency", and particularly latency in music. Latency is the delay before a transfer of data begins following an instruction for its transfer, and in music, it's crucial to have a low latency to hear the sounds you play nearly at the same time you play them after all the digital process has taken place inside a computer or pedal. Nowadays, 4G technology has a latency of 200 milliseconds, and 5G is expected to reduce it to 1 millisecond. This is less than the latency that you have when you play live from your amp to your ear. Acceptable latency is between 10-12 milliseconds. This is a huge opportunity for musicians to jam or play at the same time from different parts of the world. Imagine having a band or a side project with musicians from other places and everything that could musically enrich this project. You could even perform recitals in the metaverse! The day after considering these ideas, my brother had to travel 150 km to Montevideo to rehearse with our band and return to the coast where he was staying that week. I guess he could have benefited from this technology. And it is in relation to this idea that I am going to develop my entry for THU 2022

 

 

God mode is nice but this time I am going to try a mode that I like more and it is the entrepreneurial mode. 4G technology was created in 2009 (fun fact, Uruguay was the first country in America to have it) so it is taking about 10 to 15 years to change the technology. Considering this, we will place the year for this project in 2030, before a possible new change in network technology, but where we can see advances in today's developments.

Immersive Music is a Non-Profit Organization, created to unite musicians from all over the world so that they can play live and merge their styles and influences and at the same time raise awareness about our past mistakes so as not to repeat them again. Immersive Music provides a series of platforms equipped with holographic projection drones, condenser microphones to capture ambient sound, and heat and temperature sensors for an immersive 4D experience. You will be able to connect with your VR glasses and equipment and play your instrument in front of the sensor that will capture your movements and project them on the IM (Immersive Music) platform. You'll also be able to use your custom avatar or NFT if you prefer, but instead of being immersed in a metaverse, the holographic projections and sensors will bring the action into the real world and you'll be able to see and hear your bandmates playing on the platform locations all over the world. The IM platform is a lightweight, solar-powered platform that uses drone technology for navigation to be as unobtrusive as possible to the environment.

And these places are specially chosen for their cultural, historical and/or educational value, to raise awareness aiming at a global society with an open mind and in harmony with the environment. Some of these places are abandoned military bases from a warlike past that we do not want to repeat, the ship graveyard in the Aral Sea, a failed test for trying to change the watercourses, the train graveyard in the Salar de Uyuni, the historical wonder of Machu Picchu and other abandoned or difficult or limited access places. Imagine playing your guitar in a remote, abandoned and/or forgotten place, sharing melodies with your musician friends from other parts of the world. You can also share the experience with other users who can live it through your eyes and your instrument. All this is Immersive Music, bringing musicians closer, growing awareness.
