NB: Listen with headphones to enjoy the immersive sound of this piece.

Generative soundscape based on a random walk between four binaural recordings from different spots in the city of Graz, Austria: 1) farmers market near the Opera, 2) street crossing at the Stadtpark with cars, motorbikes and bicycles, 3) trams, busses and passengers at Jakominiplatz, 4) birds and a creek in the park of the Music University with a distant vibraphone.

Soundscapes recorded on April 19th, 2018 with Sennheiser Ambeo Headset. Generative software written in Max7 with objects from my RTC-lib.

Info

G.R.A.Z. (Generic Research on Ambient Zones) - BINAURAL

Born 1960 in Vienna. Austrian composer, improviser and performer. He studied composition with Friedrich Cerha and musicology in Vienna. Besides writing experimental instrumental music, he performs on his own electronic instrument m@ze°2, develops software environments for computer-aided composition and creates generative sound and video environments. Since 2007 professor of composition for electro-acoustic and experimental music at the University of Music in Vienna.

Karlheinz Essl performs on a laptop computer that he has transformed into a live electronic musical instrument. The result is exciting and musical. You just won't hear these sounds anywhere else. He performs solo and in duets and trios, responding with sensitivity to fellow musicians, producing fascinating sound transformations, creating spontaneous surprises, and moving quickly from loops to cacophony to tiny clips of vocal sounds to all kinds of textures and ideas. He does all this with his m@ze°2(Modular Algorithmic Zound Environment) performance software. (Joel Chadabe, CDeMusic, Januar 2002)
