Hey @nytimes.com WTF is this? As a paying digital subscriber it's bad enough that I see ads on every page, but seeing this scummy clickbait is way below your standards. Do better.

SPATIAL. AUDIO. RESEARCH. 🗣️

#CIRMMT #spatialaudio #spat #ircam #lacoustics
A large music studio that is mostly empty, save for a dome of 37 mounted loudspeakers, with a small table and chair in the middle. A magnetic sign on a heavy black metal door reads "research in progress, do not open the door"

I'm working on a new spatialized audio performance for later this year at #CIRMMT named "Les espaces d'Abraxas". It's a #drone piece made of multiple complex wavefolding oscillators that I'll gesturally control onstage.

It's -17°C in Montreal this morning but we have a new trainer, new chain, and a cleeeean drivetrain. ✨

An expresso martini topped with a little star shaped cookie on a wooden table, next to it sits 2 oranges and a lit candle, a lit up Christmas tree is blurry in the background. Major vibes.
