Scenes from the Plastisphere - Rama Gottfried

One of the key realisations I had during my musical research residency at Ircam in 2012, was the importance of multi-modal information in the process of spatial perception; both in terms of visual presence as well as the inherent forms and textures perceivable in a purely psychoacoustic timbre space.
In the piece Fluoresce developed during this time, a single cellist performs in a surrounding virtual space of speakers in HOA and WFS. The in the midst of swarms of invisible spatial textures, the presence of the performer created a powerful visual focal point in space which drew the audience’s attention. I found that focusing on the performer as a concrete visual form, also creates a sense of solidification in sonic space, which warps and telescopes our perception of the spatial auditory scene.
