The ecosystem in one paragraph

ambiscape is developed at fourMs / RITMO (University of Oslo) as the streaming companion to ambiviz: ambiviz renders rich spatial visuals (AEM, anglegram, directogram) on audio it can load whole; ambiscape summarizes sessions of hours-to-nights and selects the excerpts worth rendering. Both grew out of work on capturing rooms as subjects rather than containers — year-long standstill recordings, an international corpus of indoor environments — and both assume the same recording chain: first-order AmbiX B-format at 24-bit/48 kHz.
