This session was my first encounter with a sound system larger than stereo, and upon hearing examples composed for multiple channels, I was immediately filled with inspiration about how I could adapt and convert my current sound into something with much more ‘physicality’.

As a long time fan of his work, I began to research the various sound installation works of Viennese musician ‘Fennesz’. The particular piece I have included in this post is ‘The Last Days of May’ in which he describes the intent of the music within the installation space as “meant to blend into everyday soundscapes and occasionally stand out”.

This reflects my own personal philosophy when approaching this upcoming work – one of rich yet unintrusive sound, cohesively residing alongside whatever audio may occur in its vicinity as though it were an improvisational flair.
