“Rangkaian Pagi untuk Dikenang” (Mornings to Reminisce)
2nd order ambisonics (360°) decoded into binaural,
2021
These are mornings to reminisce, when people celebrated the warmth of sunrise, when motor vehicles and loud machines started to awake, when field recording went wrong, when my low-noise mics couldn't even capture the tranquility of the acoustic environments, and when those birds still existed before hoomanz make them vanish.
NB: You're welcome to listen to these tracks in any way you wish. My preference is to go to or be in a quiet and uninterrupted space, use a headphone, set my playback volume at a comfortable level, and keep the volume unchanged while playing.

“Rangkaian Pagi untuk Dikenang”
ambisonik (360°) orde ke-2 yang dikonversi ke binaural,
2021
Ini adalah rangkaian pagi untuk dikenang, ketika orang-orang merayakan hangatnya matahari terbit, ketika kendaraan bermotor dan mesin-mesin bersuara keras mulai bangun, ketika rekaman lapangan menemui kendala, ketika mikrofon berderau rendah saya bahkan tidak mampu merekam heningnya lingkungan akustik, dan ketika burung-burung tersebut masih ada sebelum manusia membuatnya binasa.
NB: Anda bebas mendengarkan karya ini dengan cara apapun. Preferensi saya adalah dengan pergi ke atau berada di ruang yang tenang dan bebas interupsi, menggunakan headphone, menyetel volume di level yang nyaman, dan tidak mengubah-ubah volume selama karya disetel.
