We walk together (2020) is thought as a field-recording score that asks would-be performers to think sonically about a place, to produce sound within that place, but also to reflect on the changes caused by the pandemic both at an environmental and subjective level. This collaborative endeavor is a continuation of my exploratory work in novel ways of curating sound artwork outside institutional frameworks. The resulting work, using a visual reference, is a multi-layered and multi-linguistic ‘sequence shot’: an audio piece that straddles the line between fiction, documentary and musical composition.

The sonic essay is a collaboration between a series of artists located in different parts of the globe: Rui Chaves (Loulé, Portugal, 25/06/2020), Eduardo Patrício (Koziegłowy, Poland, 17/06/2020), Laura Romero (Valencia, Spain, 06/06/2020), Lilian Nakao Nakahodo (Curitiba, Brazil, 05/07/2020), Luz da Camara (Evoramonte, Portugal, 19/06/2020).

“A couple preparing to get married keep having the same fight stemming from the guy’s hero-worship obsession with Richard Gere.”

Toward live recorded 6DoF audio – Unity and ZM-1 microphone arrays (2018)

6DoF (six-degrees-of-freedom) refers to the possibility of a rigid body (or a representational device of it) to move freely in three transitional and three rotational degrees.

Designing sound for immersive VR 6DoF experiences is usually done by using mono or stereo sound artificially spatialised through software processing the seeks to replicate reverberation, diffusion and other acoustic behaviors.

Now, doing a live sound recording, in a physical acoustic space so it can be used in the context of 6DoF VR is said to be impossible or, at least, very hard.

To try and achieve just that, I used simultaneous recordings made with 9 ZYLIA ZM-1 microphone arrays, placing multiple ambisonics sound files in a scene I built in Unity 3D. The sound sound sources in those recordings are physical objects.

The following video explains the process, step by step:

The initial proof-of-concept was recently presented at Game Sound Con in Los Angeles, LA and AES Convention in New York, NY – USA.
