Program note

Three sources, three racks, four performers

There are three sound sources which are manipulated with three effect racks by four performers. Every sound has its own manipulation rack.

All the process is made in Max/MSP with IRCAM Tools effects, spatialised across eight speakers in third-order ambisonics — sound moves continuously across the full 360° of the room.
