Mirum Terra

Abstract

Translating to Strange Earth, Mirum Terra is a sequence of three musical pieces (The Taos Hum, Dune, and Blip) that explore some of the naturally occurring aural phenomena throughout the world. My primary goal in creating music that dives into the ‘cryptoacoustics’ is to immerse listeners into a musical representation—or artistic interpretation—of how one might perceive these sounds in person; creating a sonic landscape that transports the mind from the auditorium to various places throughout the world, and create the illusion of being in a wholly different environment. All three pieces were composed for Ambisonic listening.
