Harrison-Le Caine, Basement Hallway - Karlynn Charette

1 sound

This is a soundscape of Queen’s University building Harrison LeCaine Hall in the basement wing of practice rooms. The piece begins by exiting the studio and walking up and down the hallway until 9 minutes after the listener is packing up their locker for the night and leaving the building via the elevator. Different mixes used made surround style sound; music and sounds will shift quickly to left, right up and down to get a sense of perception. Using the Ambisonic Toolkit plugin within Reaper made it easy to create an all around sound. Volume changes to pan from room to room when changing whichever instruments are practicing.

Binaural Soundscape Compositions 2019: Queen's University

Kingston, Ontario, Canada

Soundscape compositions created for binaural headphone listening by students in MUSC255 (Electroacoustic Composition) in February-March 2019. The composition assignment called for engagement with a specific location on campus, gathering sounds from that place and working with them in the studio to create a sonic portrait of the site. Binaural audio requires headphones for listening, and should give a sense of sounds occurring 360 degrees around you. Thank you to Echoes for existing as an easy-to-use platform for geolocating these pieces to their sites. Enjoy exploring! MUSC255 is taught by Dr Matt Rogalsky. Please send any questions or comments to rogalsky@queensu.ca.
