Innovative Audio Engineering
Ben Bloomberg has pioneered advanced audio technologies for live performances and recordings. As audio technology designer for Death and the Powers, he developed a 3D surround sound system delivering intense sonic experiences [2][6]. He collaborated with Jacob Collier on multitrack projects using DPA microphones for superior audio quality [5], and discussed production innovations in interviews [3][8].
Interactive Performances and Opera of the Future
Bloomberg contributed to MIT's Opera of the Future lab, working on Death and the Powers with singing walls and dancing robots [1][4]. He explained his role in rehearsals alongside Karole Armitage and Peter Torpey [1], and featured in tech discussions on disembodied performance [4]. His MIT Media Lab PhD involved designing equipment for live residencies [7].
Music Production and Hyperproduction
Partnering with Jacob Collier, Bloomberg engineered Djesse albums, focusing on making elements co-exist in recordings [3]. He co-founded Advanced Sonic Alert Technologies and developed 'Hyperproduction,' a system for live use detailed on his blog [9][10]. Interviews highlight unique innovations in Collier's process [8].
Robotics and Multisensory Design
