About this Event

Unrealistic Spaces places performers within unique 3D sound spaces layered with complex acoustics and ambiences that range from picture-perfect immersive field recordings to completely artificial, hyper-real sonic environments. 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 Unviersity and the Canada Council for the Arts.
