THE IDEA
What if the room became part of the record?
We took the finished album and made two new recordings through spaces we designed. The music stays the same; its relationship to the space and the listener changes. One room draws you close. The other lets the sound travel.
These are artist-designed listening environments, not recordings made in physical venues. The process is part of our ongoing work with music, imagined spaces, and sound as something you can explore.
