This chapter covered a few of the numerous preambles fueling the concerns we have to bear in mind in order to understand the areas we will have to cover. We took an overall look at the technological aspects which are involved in the work, the compositional background and the interactive field we will have to deal with. \newline
The next chapters will cover the Background of the research, followed by the Review and Methodology. Thereafter, we will explain and have an in-depth look at the compositional work related to the research.

\section{Conclusion} % (fold)
\label{sub:conclusion}
We will face a couple of important choices during the recordings and the implementation. Several versions will be made and placed on private 360 Youtube videos in order to discuss the final results with musicians, non-musicians, and technicians before rendering the final application or video.
\newline
In the beginning we consider working with Google Resonance. Google Resonance will be used in a second stage. Google Resonance will be powerful and very effective when we will be in a full \ac{CG} environment. Each musician will be 3D scanned and placed in the \ac{VR} environment. Each 3D musician will be live animated with Motion-Data sensors clipped on their desks and linked to the skeleton of the 3D mesh inside the Game-Engine. Google Resonance will be fed with all the microphone tracks and will render a binaural track in function of where the viewer will situate himself in space. At that level we will not have to struggle with that amount of cameras anymore. Because the environment will be entirely computer generated, the viewer will have entire freedom to move virtually on and around the stage and perceive the sound as if he would be there.
\newline
This technology is growing very fast, but as soon as we can get it on an orchestra or a television news presenter, it will be soon available for sport and other entertainment companies. Their spectators will wear their headset and they will be able to be transported to the stadium and evolve on the court as if they would walk around with the players. As we have seen in \citep{Alvarez2018}, the digital human "Siren" at the GDC2018 the collaboration between Epic Games, Vicon, Cubic Motion, 3Lateral and Tencent. This amazing interaction between motion data, CGI and a game engine will bring us towards the future of broadcasting entertainment. We don't have to forget the power of sound and music, which makes 70\% of the immersive reality. This is where we as technologists, composers and musicians have to jump into.

\chapter{The work} % (fold)
\label{sec:work}
\section{Introduction} % (fold)
\label{sub:work-intro}
Initially the work was intended to be made on a big ensemble, like a chambre orchestra. But we decided to think smaller in order to go in-depth with a string quartet. The understanding we will build with this small instrumentation will be helpful to develop it later for orchestral ensembles.

\section{Musical Analysis} % (fold)
\label{sub:work-analyse}
As soon as the score will be written, an in-depth analysis of the choice made and the musical gesture will be done and divided in these three categories :

\item Structure and form
\item Counterpoint and Melodic Material
\item Harmonic material

\section{Immersive Behaviours} % (fold)
\label{sub:work-immersive}
In this section we will analyse the relation between the visual and acoustic aspect of the work. How does the viewer perceive the music? At which point and how would we as composers, be able to enhance a reaction by the viewer? Which elements are maintaining the interest of the viewer in en \ac{VR} environment? All these questions will have to be answered and analysed.
