Flammepunkt: Megaphone and Fire

Stereo mixes of some of the 'waves' of sound that wash through the We Are Not Alone  installation space. It's tricky to make a representative mix down of ambisonics, wave field synthesis and ultrasonic sound beam into a normal stereo track. These sounds serve just as a simple illustration of the basic materials.

Extract from Topology Chamber 2 (5th order 3D ambisonics).

'Topology Chamber 2' is an acousmatic composition in high-order ambisonics (5th order 3D) created from the sonification of spatial performance and instrument motion. Data describing 3-D motion is captured from the recordings of a balloon and a cymbal being explored for their sounding characters. The motion data and sound recordings are analysed and segmented into micro- and meso-scale 'chunks' characterised by gestural qualities, and the chunks are in turn 'rearranged' into larger datasets by way of coarticulation and concatenation. These new datasets, idiomatic of the original gestural performance qualities are sonified using a custom made application where you can explore the spatial gestural image from it's 'inside', while maintaining realistic parallax and parameter scaling. The sonifications are then used as the building blocks for a composition exploring 'tangible' acousmatic sound, placing the listener alongside an invisible body-centred spatial expression where tensions emerge from the pull between known gestural archetypes and musical abstractions.

Here are some stereo mixes of some of the 'waves' of sound that wash through the space interacting with the light made by the bacteria. It's tricky to make a representative mix down of ambisonics, wave field synthesis and ultrasonic sound beam into a normal stereo track. These sounds serve just as a simple illustration of the basic materials. Also see video and sound: https://vimeo.com/141030686

We Are Not Alone - wave 6

Acousmatic composition realised in 6th-order 3D ambisonics. This is an short extract from the middle of the composition, rendered to 'normal' stereo. The original composition is 17'00. More info here:

I am an artist wearing many hats and hyphens.

As a Filmmaker, I am humbly growing and learning in the collaborative process of the creative arts, the technical crafts and the business of cinematic storytelling. (producer, director, writer, cinematographer, editor, composer, sound designer, actor, marketing and distribution executive, and also getting donuts and coffee.) 

In the music industry, I dive into Songwriting, Composition, Sound Design, DJ(Remix, Dub Artist, and Turntablism/Looper) as well as handle the business of music publishing, marketing and distribution. 

I am a music lover, curator of large libraries of playlists and also a vinyl record collector.
