The university orchestra’s concerts in Detmold were accompanied by a live streaming seminar, in which tonmeister students were responsible for the complete media production. The seminar was led by Sascha Etezazi.

In ad­di­tion to fun­da­ment­al stream­ing and cam­era tech­niques, a strong em­phas­is was placed on the visu­al aes­thet­ics of con­cert broad­casts. A key ele­ment was the role of the score read­er in a live video con­text, con­nect­ing mu­sic­al struc­ture with visu­al dram­at­urgy in real time.

Along­side au­dio-re­lated re­search con­duc­ted with­in sev­er­al bach­el­or’s theses, the stu­dents worked un­der real pro­duc­tion con­di­tions. Tak­ing re­spons­ib­il­ity for im­age dir­ec­tion, cam­era op­er­a­tion, and live co­ordin­a­tion re­quired fo­cused at­ten­tion, mu­sic­al in­sight, and close team­work.

The sem­in­ar was car­ried out with great com­mit­ment and vis­ible en­thu­si­asm by the par­ti­cip­at­ing ton­meister stu­dents. Al­though this group differed from those in­volved in the Po­land ex­cur­sion, their mo­tiv­a­tion and pro­fes­sion­al­ism were equally evid­ent.

For many par­ti­cipants, the live stream­ing sem­in­ar proved to be a form­at­ive ex­per­i­ence, sharpen­ing their aware­ness of the close in­ter­ac­tion between mu­sic, im­age, and tech­no­logy.
