Landscape 1

Landscape I is an evening length ambient work for percussion duo and electronics that attempts to take listeners through an immersive listening experience inspired by 6 images. Landscape I uses 6 channel audio to create a fully spacial experience, inviting the audience to be among the performers for full immersion. This effect is achieved through multichannel panning, delays, and backing tracks that gradually shift over the course of an hour. The piece is divided into six parts, each inspired by a photograph. These images depict different locations across Japan and are titled using geographic coordinates. Each photograph is paired with a distinct musical environment, ranging from natural sounds to complex polyrhythmic textures performed on keyboard instruments.
