phonography

composing the loop network

| |

The basic goal of the composition project is to take stereo and binaural location based recordings, including listening walks, and using a multi channel diffusion and processing system, compose for outer/inner association.  Dispersion is not intended as an algorithmic, realistic recreation of acoustic space, but as an inner/outer associative exploration of the acoustic place.  This is the place of the original recordings and the place of the emergent composition or virtual world unfolding from distortions and emphases of aspects of the recordings.
Part of the rationale in such a system of composition is to explore aspects of the soundscape I might otherwise miss details of or not hear.  It is a systemic process of augmented listening, and in being so, is designed to increase analytical listening capacity and furthermore increase acoustic awareness (by extrapolating from experiment to everyday perceptual exercise - from micro system to macro-system the exercise of faculties results in increased ability).
