Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle

This album is intended to promote profound relaxation. It is best experienced with the use of headphones, and at the point of near-sleep at the end or beginning of the day. The original 2-hour version of this work was performed only once in the Undercroft of the Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London in February 2000. It featured a circular white cloth-lined room 12 metres in diameter, suffused with the colours referred to in the title of each segment. The colours were programmed to cross-fade imperceptably, therefore achieving an almost infinite variation of hue during the event. Composed and recorded by Vincent Clarket and Martyn Ware at 37B and the Institute of Sonology, Primrose Hill 2000. Pre-mixed at the institute of sonology, primrose hill, london. Spatialized at sonic imaging, brixton, london, (by kind permission of Paul Gillieron Acoustic Design). Engineered at sonic imaging. This album was recorded using logic audio platinum. The output from this was then spatialized using Animix 3D visualisation software and the Lake Huron 3D audio processor. Important - This album has been recorded in binaural format. The listener should wear headphones to hear the unique three-dimensional surround sound spatiality of the mixes. Some (albeit reduced) effects will be heard if speakers only are used.
