Concept
As opposed to previous MusicLab events, this is a public "behind the scenes" happening. The idea is for RITMO researchers to try out moving and setting up a lot of equipment in a short period in a public space, followed by a real-world data capture of a musical performance. This is necessary to see how feasible it is to use a similar setup at a large concert during MusicLab Copenhagen.
The event follows the tradition of "slow TV" or "minute-by-minute" shows, with a live stream running all day. It is impossible to physically attend the event because of the current corona measures.

First performance
The point of the MusicLab events is to study live music, which was also the focal point of the MusicTestLab, featuring the Oslo-based Borealis String Quartet. They performed two movements of Haydn's Op. 76, no. 4 «Sunrise» quartet. The first performance can be seen here (with a close-up of the motion capture markers):
Second performance
After the first performance, the musicians took off the sensors and glasses, had a short break, and then put everything back on again. The point was for the researchers to get more experience with putting everything on properly. From a data collection point of view, it is also interesting to see how reliable the data are between different recordings. The second performance can be seen here, now with a projection of the gaze from the violist's eye-tracking glasses:
