Binaural recording - listen with headphones!

Generative soundscape based on a two-dimensional random walk between four binaural soundscapes, recorded between November 8-9th, 2018 in Mittersill - a small town in Salzburg, Austria where Anton Webern has been shot by an American GI on 15 Sep 1945:

1) my generative sound installation "WebernUhrWerk" played on the main square, surrounded by traffic, 
2) the grave of Anton Webern at the cemetery of Mittersill, 
3) snuffling cows on a meadow with cow bells, 
4) a silent spot on a pasture on top of Mittersill.

S.I.L.L. (Sounds Intercept Little Lovers) - 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)
