Phonography

Interpreting given time-space is the essential flip-side of my ongoing research regarding the spatiality of sound and its architectural potential. On the same time in several cases I work with manipulated field or studio recordings. Hence my research extends to various purely phonographic concepts.

Research interests:

  • How to intuitively create stand-alone compositions out of found sonic environments. 
  • Structural Phonography (*see my relevant paper).
  • Documenting and representing 3d soundscapes. B-Format recording.
  • How to end up with fixed-media acousmatic works out of explicitly site-specific ones.
  • Aesthetics of field-recording.
  • Advanced field-recording techniques (hydrophonography / electromagnetic receivers / induction coils / parabolic reflectors / etc.)

I regularly spend time in various natural, urban or industrial locations recording soundscapes or isolating sound-matter. Several of my works are structured around the use of environmental recordings and several others are fixed-media phonographies of site-specific pieces.
