Seven venue-specific compositions merge the stark abstraction of musique concrète with colloquial elements of modern jazz, hip-hop, and minimalism.
3D audio is all about approaching, matching, and going beyond real-world listening. Sound is reproduced from all around the listener—in both the horizontal and vertical planes—to create an enveloping and as immersive experience as possible. Musical and non-musical sound scenes can range from highly natural to completely fantastical.
Featuring
- Will Howie, spatial audio architect
- Sam Davidson, clarinet, EWI, penny whistle
- Yujin Honda, drum kit
The artists would like to acknowledge the generous support of UBC School of Music, McGill University and the Canada Council for the Arts.
