Michael,

I particularly enjoy your sense of space (Universe) and textural richness 
(Life). My favorite is Parallax View; there's still a lot of life in a major 
scale. (It suggests to me we're already "there" but just not aware of the 
fact.)

Thanks for your background notes as well. We're on similar paths: seeking 
expanded human consciousness/awareness that moves toward the Source.

Thanks for the comments Art. It is funny... several people say they 
really enjoy Parallax View. I almost deleted that file at one point. As 
artists we are not always the best judges of our own work.

The spatial aspects of a composition are, to me, just as important as 
the other more commonly prominent aspects such as frequency 
relationships, duration, event density... etc... Parametric 
counterpoint, a term intending the notion of an interplay between these 
aspects, is a major determinate of the formal aspects.

The last piece on the CD, and the title cut, was my first native 3D 
work. By that I mean that the csound orc and sco rendered a sound file 
for 8 speakers and used Cartesian coordinates (x, y and z axis) to 
determine the initial position of a sound within a cuboid speaker 
arrangement. If a pfield in the score determined that the event was to 
be dynamic, envelopes determine the path of the sound through the space. 
So the speakers are set up in a dual quad arrangement with 4 on the 
floor and 4 about ten feet high. It works really well and I will 
continue moving in that direction. This is not using Ambisonics but 
simply an extension of amplitude panning.

Good luck on your path Art.

BTW, I forgot to mention that Parallax was inspired by Oyvind's quasar 
installation lecture at the Csound conference last fall...

Thanks Oyvind!!

That is very flattering ;-)
It evolves in a nice zoom-and-rotate manner that makes it easy to
imagine moving through outer space between distant stars, parallax
view indeed.
