Nathan Shubert x Spencer Carson _subsettings





    _subsettings Episode 5

    Nathan Shubert x Spencer Carson "Heavy Lifting"


    Nathan Shubert and Spencer Carson were patched together for the 5th of our immersive audio experiences on location in our very own studio's loading bay in Vancouver.


    It's a modular synth mashup as Nathan and Spencer give us 10 minutes of an improvised musical soundscape set in a concrete loading bay. 2 synced-up modular rigs sent out to multiple amps and speakers created the sort of extra aural dimensions we were after. There's something special when you let the sounds escape into spaces, and that's something we wanted to capture here. Being setup with an ambisonic microphone on our camera rig, were we able to orbit around the space and taste all that the space and speakers had to offer.


    Thanks to Nathan and Spencer for sharing their music and machines with us!


    _subsettings episodes are presented as binaural sound experiences. What's binaural you ask? It's the simplest form of spatial audio, and you can wear any pair of headphones to experience it.


    Stay tuned for more places and cool people in immersive, live music experiences as this series develops.


    P.S. - Now accepting donations for a Steadicam rig for these episodes!

      xana "bet you'll get off on this"


      xana features in the fourth of our immersive audio experiences on location in an actual forest just outside of Vancouver. What's more Vancouver than a forest?


      Authenticity is what makes xana tick, and her music resonates deeply within the hand-crafted inner-psychological space that she creates as an artist. This live version of xana's latest single weaves well as a modern woodland rhapsody.

        _subsettings Episode 3

        DACEY "STEPMOM"


        DACEY makes sure it's fun for our 3rd immersive audio experience on location out in the suburbs of Ladner, BC with stepmom.


        Everybody we've collaborated with on this series so far has been a huge part of the learning process. If DACEY wasn't so cool and open-minded, this would never have worked out so well.


        Making spatial audio experiences work means letting go of what things used to be, and embracing what's new. Perfectly planned, and preciously perfect sounding "stereo" mixes are great, but these recordings bring something different. Having 1 ambisonic microphone move around with the camera for 1 long shot brings a whole new level of chaos, so we plan and practice more in advance, and let go of perfection for a change. If something "immersive" is supposed to be more "real," then it can't be faked.


        We convert our ambisonic recordings to binaural so it's easy for everyone to get a taste of this spatial audio. What's binaural you ask? It's the simplest form of spatial audio, and you can wear any pair of headphones to experience it. So put your headphones on.


        Stay tuned for more stable footage and cool people in immersive, live music experiences as this series develops.
