This is one of the original mixes I did for the album "Be All End All" by the legendary Manes. In the end the album was getting too electronic and such therefore it stuck out like a sore thumb and had to be changed, but I still like this version as it shows another side of the band. The beauty of Manes is the many different facets of the beast especially since so many different people are involved in it from playing the music, to producing and mixing. 

Manes is a Norwegian band formed in 1992 that started playing black metal but would eventually start to incorporate more experimental elements in their music.

Manes - The Nature And Function Of Sacrifice (Alternate Mix)

This recording was done in one of Norway's biggest concert halls called Olavshallen. This is part of a free improvisation session. The reverb is completely natural and was captured by using a Soundfield microphone and then using some spatial techniques to bring it alive even in stereo. 

Recorded in October 2014

Studie II - Nyctalope

This is an exceprt from the first movement of my composition Solace which is for mixed choir, electronics and 8 speakers around the audience. This is a binaural mix meaning it has to be listened on headphones, even then, the panning is not exactly the same as 8 speakers around the audience. 

All of the electronic effects throughout the composition are also programmed by myself. The electronics are done by using the Antescofo system which lets the computer understand where the performers are in real-time. 

Composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Ars Arcanum Productions
Performed by the award-winning choir Kammerkoret Aurum
