Eight channel piece composed in the summer of 2007 using CSound and binaural soundscape recordings. The version provided in this web site is a stereo version but a 8 channel spatialization is also available.
This stereo version can be listened through speakers but listening through headphones allows for a better perception of the spatial characteristics of the binaural materials. The binaural version available above is a virtual version of the 8 channel spatialization (using headphones an approximate multichannel surround experience is attained). This piece and a short explanatory text has been published as part of the Vage Terrain online publication in the citySCENE issue.
Performances:
- 8 channel version premiered on August 11th, 2007 at the Sound Travels Festival
in the context of the emerging artists residency organized by New Adventures in Sound Art.
- 8 channel version on October 5th, 2007 at the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall, Concordia University, Montreal (Harvest Moon Festival).
- 8 channel version performed on December 4th, 2007 at a AngelusNovus.net
concert in Toronto.

Electroacoustic improvisations
Stereo (and multichannel coming soon) improvisations made by processing soundscape recordings. Mostly are binaural sources so headphone listening is advised. I perform these improvisations with the idea of creating imaginary "abstract" soundscapes that could have been somehow recorded either statically or as sound walks through an imaginary place. The sources are not revealed so as to let a new soundscape emerge without references.
These improvisations are meditative and gradually evolving sonic ambiences.
