Immersive Soundscape
November 20, 2025•155 words
Sitting listening to my immersive soundscape playing through a 6 channel setup 5.1 surround sound. Hopefully I will have developed this enough for a 12 channel set up using a 7.1.4 surround system.
Feels very calming, with a gentle waves motion and generative modular sounds sweeping throughout, moving on to a more sombre section evoking whale song and creaking sea ice.
Some earlier composition notes:
Visual starscape controlled by time and will evolve according to natural constellations behaviour.
What if duration was long form?
Maybe split into 3 or 4 sections:
Day break, day, evening twilight, night time.
How long can I realistically manage?
What level of generative composition?
How loud is acceptable?
Think about changes of tempo and volume and how this may relate to visual content.
Sound / music will be leading the visuals. But how frequently do we want to see change?
Note: duration finalised at 25 mins. See Envelop4Live Blog post.
