Danny will be exploring his ‘Sonic Ghosting’ work using 3D sound and immersive technologies inviting guest musicians collaborate and experiment all week long at The Rose Hill.
What IS Sonic Ghosting?
Sonic Ghosting explores space/place/memory and sound/music/noise. It is the idea that all places have memories and echoes of the past. This includes sounds that would/ could have occurred there. In a way it turns a specific place into a ventriloquist to say what is heard and seen there or what sounds and feelings might be imagined there from the past and future. Often Field recordings and the actual materials present in the specific place are used to explore and create the new work / music / research.
There is an academic article all about it here if you want to learn more about it
What IS 3D Audio?
3D Audio is an umbrella term for a number of immersive audio technologies that aim to surround the listener with sound. One of its main goals is to reproduce audio in a way that replicates the way we hear sound in the real world, especially when compared to the mono and stereo experiences most have been used to.
Danny Bright is a composer, sonic artist, sound designer, musician and researcher working across the fields of music, performance, installation, theatre and media. His work investigates space/place/memory through a Sonic Ghosting practice; develops composition, performance, research and installation work; using his electric guitar, electronics & technology.
Danny performs uses guitar, samples, tape, electronics, and text/voice as an ensemble member/leader, solo artist and improviser, and as half of no-input pedalboard duo Noise Peddler with Lee Westwood.
At The Rose Hill he will explore Sonic Ghosting with 3D sound s collaborating with guest artists Kassia Zermon (Bunty), Jules Arthur, Lee Westwood & Jon Armstrong (Light Artist).
