the hyperspace acoustic, Episode 1: The hyperspace acoustic

The first snapshot of my romance with a 14-channel Mackie mixer, and the namesake of an ongoing series focused around this instrument. Gerard Grisey's magnum opus, Les espaces acoustiques, pumped through fourth-power analog distortion.

The dynamism of analog manipulation does not survive onto headphones. Seek out quality speakers for the optimal listening experience.
