Spatial composition for MONOM and 4DSOUND
(Watch the video with headphones for Binaural Sound)
The concept for this piece was at first an exploration of the 4DSOUND engine and the capabilities of the powerful MONOM speaker setup. The idea started as an assignment on how to imagine otherworldly natural soundscapes, aiming to invent an environment that transported the listener to a different reality.
The tools available within 4DSOUND are extensive and inspiring for spatial sound applications. This piece was a first attempt to delve into the functionality of the software, using MONOM’s speaker layout specially designed for its application, consisting in 48 omnidirectional speakers and 9 subwoofers. The result is a piece that uses directionality and height as narrative elements, unraveling sounds that evoke sentient life and movement, as the listener feels himself transported through a journey that culminates in a contemplative and solemn open space.
This piece was developed in the context of my 2024 internship at MONOM (https://www.monomsound.com).
