"Heyr" (norrøn: listen), presents Sonic Stills, a listening series presenting realistic 3D recordings from special sites around the world.
Especially places occuring in current headlines or historic news, or those who have shaped the history of our world.
(A dedicated domain for "Heyr" is coming soon.)
The idea is: through immersive 3D-listening, a realistic presence to the places where the news unfolds is possible. Taking away comments, political or cultural bias - leaving the listener with space to impose her or his own knowledge about these sites. Something along the lines of Euronews' "No comment" series.
The recordings are done as 3D Ambisonics, coded for binaural playback - please use headphones for optimal experience.
Ambisonics FOA versions for most recordings are available from the composer.
