Unrealistic Spaces

Sam Davidson and Will Howie

UBC School of Music

Unrealistic Spaces places performers within unique 3D sound spaces layered with complex acoustics and ambiences that range from picture-perfect immersive field recordings to completely artificial, hyper-real sonic environments. Seven venue-specific compositions merge the stark abstraction of musique concrète with colloquial elements of modern jazz, hip-hop, and minimalism.3D audio is all about approaching, matching, and going beyond real-world listening. Sound is reproduced from all around the listener—in both the horizontal and vertical planes—to create an enveloping and as immersive experience as possible. Musical and non-musical sound scenes can range from highly natural to completely fantastical.Featuring• Will Howie, spatial audio architect• Sam Davidson, clarinet, EWI, penny whistle• Yujin Honda, drum kitThe artists would like to acknowledge the generous support of UBC School of Music, McGill University and the Canada Council for the Arts.
