Waveguide Racket for Four Klipschorns, 2025

Quadrophonic performance using MIDI faders to excite four Yamaha VL virtual acoustic synthesizer voices. Each voice receives the same single MIDI note and CC info. The notes received by the four voices are transposed evenly across an octave. Resulting pitches are determined by manipulation of the physical model controllers. Each voice is played through one of four Klipschorn speakers, in the four corners of the performance space.

Binaural mix of the performance at L&SD, NYC. Live recording of direct channels plus DMS soundfield courtesy of Matthew Patterson Curry.
