SoundLab is an immersive, full-sphere ambisonics listening chamber designed by the acoustic group at ARUP that recreates an sonic environment true to real life situations. On September 23, sound artists HoraFlora & Shane Myrbeck explore the depths of perception by developing fictionalized sonic environments using experimental techniques to create, manipulate and spatialize sound. SoundLab also recreates excerpts of the stunning performances at Battery Townsley by Gregg Kowalsky, and Jacob Felix Heule & Kanoko Nishi from last season’s Soundwave ((4)). On September 24, sound artist [ruidobello] creates a special ambisonic composition featuring field recordings of bees while SoundLab recreates excerpts of the stunning performances at Battery Townsley by Danny Paul Grody, and St. Mark’s Lutheran Church by Myrmyr and 20 vocalists and musicians from last season’s Soundwave ((4)).
