Under the Sun REM

from Under the Sun REM by Jeff Talman

about

‘He is a pioneer of ambient sound composition... the result cannot be anything but brilliant: the control of every single ring of the chain is perfect, there are no flaws…’ Aurelio Cianciotta, ‘Neural Magazine,’ Italy, 2019 review.

REMASTERED 2020

Modeled, scaled solar sonic resonance, as provided by astrophysicist collaborator Daniel Huber, whose credentials include NASA and the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii, is the sound source for Jeff Talman’s ‘Under the Sun,’ a work of symphonic scale and intention.

The Sun roars with thousands of resonant sounds that cease at the vacuum of space. But analysis of the oscillations of the Sun’s mass enables scientific reproduction of its sounds. ‘Under the Sun’ features only modeled solar sounds scaled to the range of human hearing. Filtered to hundreds of frequency bands of varying width, the sounds provide for the rich textures, timbres and harmonies of the composition, at times of quality similar to massed human voices.

Under the Sun was first conceived as a sonic environment experienced as a four-dimensional composition in an 8.2-channel sound installation. It was released as a CD and digital download in 2018. This remastered binaural stereo version offers the project in HD 48kHz, 24-bit sound and other formats. with enhanced mastering techniques to better represent the sound as first heard in the studio during composition of the work.

‘Et le soleil déplace, à tout moment, les mirages, vers où s’en va l’égarement.’
‘And the sun ever shifts, every moment, the mirages, where advances the delusion.’
'Le silence,’ Émile Verhaeren
