The Holophone in Action
International House of Music in Moscow
One of the largest concert halls in
Europe, the International House of
Music in Moscow uses the Holophone,
under licence, as a permanent
installation. Most of the recordings are
made with the Holophone placed 1m (3
feet) behind, and 2 meters (6 feet)
above the conductor’s head.
The illustration shows Vladimir Spivako
conducting the National Philharmonic
of Russia.
Super Bowl XXXIX
The Holophone H2-PRO was used by
FOX Sports and ATK/ Westwood One
to capture crowd sound and game
ambience. The first H2-PRO was set
up at the 50 yard line to capture crowd
sounds. A second wireless H2-PRO
captured the US national anthem and
jet fly-overs before the game, and the
half-time performance by Sir Paul
McCartney. The Holophone-derived,
three dimensional surround sound
tracks were used as a foundation upon
which to construct the main game
ambience mix.
2003 Winter X Games, Aspen, Colorado
A Holophone was placed at the bottom of the Superpipe,
the big Snowboard halfpipe, to capture the surrounding
fans up in the grandstand at the end of the freestyle run.
Placement was in the hands of engineers Ron Scalise and
Mark Cochi of ESPN, who have continued to pioneer new
ways to use the Holophone for the broadcasting of sporting
events, including Pro Bobsledding, Skateboarding, Biking,
and more recently the 2003 Global X Games.
