Listening from above the landscape vs. close to the ground is the topic of this research and its principal materials will come from site-specific, multitrack recordings. What are the practical, aesthetic and psychoacoustic implications of various methods used to reproduce surround sound? What does it mean in terms of perception to collapse a horizontal space into a vertical plan? To spread on an entire surface a space chosen within a precise point? To superimpose separate spaces? The OBORO residence will allow the artist to explore different possibilities of opening, closing, adding to, being next to and passing through sonic spaces.
