----

We met as Sparks — Diverging Flints
Sent various — scattered ways —
We parted as the Central Flint
Were cloven with an Adze —
Subsisting on the Light We bore
Before We felt the Dark —
A Flint unto this Day — perhaps —
But for that single Spark.

Emily Dickinson

Don Quixote Concerto (2021), Memories of the squire Sancho Panza

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. 


We Are Not Alone - wave 1

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:

Extract from 'Urban Melt in Park Palais Meran' (4'55-8'48). In binaural for headphone listening.

All source materials for this piece are from a single recording made in a public park in Graz. The recording was made with an EigenMike. I then decomposed the spatial soundfield to be able to extract individual sound sources and track their positions in space. This material then fed back into the composition.

Hope to soon be able to offer the full length track on CD / download.
