Sound Installations and Projects

The Virtual Barbershop

The classic 3D audio piece that was created almost 12 years ago that is still effective in giving many people goosebumps today.

Janet Cardiff and the Forty Part Motet

This sound installation by Janet Cardiff uses 40 speakers in unison, each producing a different singers voice.

"Hear New York City in 3D Audio" - Binaural Sound

This video looks at the art of Binaural audio, referencing works such as The Virtual Barbershop.

8D Audio

 8D Audio is audio that when listened to with headphones gives us the sense that the audio is coming from different directions, up, down and from different distances.

Examples of 8D Audio -

Woman Like Me - Little Mix

Arms Around You -Lil Pump

She Cheated Again - Dax

These examples are the best to use for 8D Audio as it allows you to hear most layers of the music and also shows the effect it has on the song. It makes you think it's coming from around you like the Virtual Barber Shop.

Installation testing

The past few days we have been gathering equipment such as projectors, speakers and amps in order to fulfil this installation. We have been testing the placement of projectors and the areas on which the video will display on. Chris also bought in his guitar amp to help us produce the sound out of the speakers with the help of an aux cord. Testing out the timing of the videos and audio is also a major part of this project.  Here are some stills from the videos displayed on the wall.
