An audition for a national orchestra. The final exam at the Music Academy. A personal challenge with your instrument. The pure pleasure of playing. No matter the reason you have to studying an orchestral excerpt, it will always require concentration, time, dedication. In an ideal world, that is. Because in the real world, you also need the recording, the orchestral score, the patience to search and find the excerpt within the score, and then extract the score for your instrument. Not to mention the most important thing: an orchestra to practice with – which isn’t even at the top of the list, because the chances of getting that are very close to zero. What if it were possible to immediately immerse yourself into the orchestral experience? What if you no longer needed to waste time with paper copies, online videos, and low-quality audio? Maponos got you covered, because that’s the reason why it was created: allowing musicians like you to focus on practicing orchestral excerpts. All you need is a pair of headphones. Binaural technology makes the difference: with Maponos, what you hear in your headphones isn’t just a replica of the orchestra’s sound. It’s what you would hear while playing your instrument if you were sitting in your seat within the orchestra. If you play the clarinet, you’ll hear the violins in front of you, slightly to the right, and the percussion behind you. On the other hand, if you’re practicing an excerpt for double bass, you’ll hear the percussion up to the right, and the strings straight ahead of you, at the back. All with a precise, professional-quality sound, to give you all the orchestral context you need. Such a sound perspective makes the difference – especially when working on interpretation and dynamics. Do you want to try binaural audio now? Put on your headphones and click here.
