I presented work about the syntax people use to describe distance in spatial sound, at the AES conference held at York in March, which was AMAZING. York’s team worked hard to ensure the event was gender diverse and explicitly championed this and inclusivity, in advance of, and during the event. They also ensured that panels, …

This is the system I will be working with during my residency at the Institut für Elektronische Musik which is part of the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Graz. It sounds… delicious. It reproduces sound in space with clarity and definition, and interestingly does not require a ‘sweet-spot’ mindset, as it works from the …

Loud un-clear: marine acoustic pollution everyday listening (a performative presentation using spatial audio and headphones)   I guess Mariners aren’t really set up for performative presentations.

  Back last year I visited the music technology group at UPF with other students on the MAT programme, to present a poster, which looks like this, at the doctoral workshop and got to meet some great members of the Audiovisual technology group at Eurecat, the Technology Centre of Catalonia.  It’s not often you find …

  I was one of ten members of the user group selected in a call for submissions as early adopters of the immersive audio tools. As a result I’m producing a project with BINCI binaural audio technology, which will be used as a demo to show the potential their tools, and will be showcased at major music and …

I installed the Xingu Ensemble spatial audio for the People’s Palace Projects in spring 2018. This exhibition was inspired by the indigenous territory of Xingu. The oca structure in the exhibition takes audiences on a journey to the Ipatse Village visit, home of the Kuikuro indigenous people in the Xingu region of Brazil bästa-bredband.se, complete with ambisonic sound recordings of …
