about

“here, there, over, beyond there, in space” is an exploration of the immersive capability of sound with the isolated headphone experience in mind. 

The pieces use a combination of field recordings, modular synthesis, and audio processed in MaxMSP.

Field recordings made in North Carolina were captured using a hand-built binaural microphone rig – a technology designed to mimic human hearing by capturing incoming sounds using a pair of microphones spaced head width apart. When listening back on headphones, the listener is capable of perceiving sounds as they occurred in the 3D sound field. Synthetically generated sounds from a modular synthesizer and MaxMSP were spatialized after-the-fact using various 3D audio plugins. 

Created in the era of isolation, “here, there, over, beyond there, in space” invites the listener to go even deeper, isolating in headphones to experience an expanded sonic dimensionality.

“Only with the inner eye of imagination can we see inner forms of Being and Becoming. In this lifeless-looking seed there is a germinating center, totally alive and totally invisible.” – M.C. Richards from The Crossing Point
