Hopeless Case

Tracks 1 to 3 of this album were recorded using dummy head microphones, performed on a synthesizer system with 24-channel speakers. Tracks 4 to 6 were line-recorded using this synthesizer. Please listen to the difference in sound-image localization between the binaural and line recordings with headphones. Track 3 of the synthesizer system consists of a computer, universal serial bus (USB) audio interface, USB device, line selector, buffer, filter, and mixer. Eight front speakers, eight rear speakers, and eight left and right speakers use three mixers to move the sources of the sound. The difference from the other tracks is that a different timbre is played with a filter. In this case, a Waveform Audio File with recorded death voices and metal percussion is played back from the computer. The signal is played from eight left and right speakers via a USB audio interface and a mixer. Experimental sound creation was attempted by playing a filter output signal, a death voice, and metal percussion from 24-channel speakers.
