!!LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES!! Swimming and Dallas Simpson performing the track 'Mega Fins' live for their Binaural (Headphone Only) gig at Broadway Cinema on the 2nd Dec 2011. Dallas (the man with the umbro t-shirt on walking meditatively around the room Swimming are playing in) explains how it works... "By inserting very high quality sub-miniature microphones into my ears, I am able to sample my own human hearing and record what is known as "binaural sound" to conventional 2-channel stereo, with all the potency of a three dimensional surround sound experience when replayed on headphones. The approach is to engage the listener, through his own ears, in a guided experience of soundscape awareness and intuitive interaction with found and introduced objects (in this case the band's instruments and voices). Movement through a location allows creative spatial choreography - the compositional arrangement of moving sounds in three dimensional space - with additional opportunities to create an unfolding narrative in time." Swimming and Dallas will be taking this unique performance on the road around Europe in 2012. Please contact binaural@swimmingband.com for more information.
