Rich, I contacted you a while ago about a binaural video I made called "Revolt". Thank you for posting about it. I got several hits from the right people (binaural people), and the feedback was great! Well, I've recently upgraded the mics and camera I'm using and I created another more elaborate video. I'm also starting up a blog to publish my works in a more elegant way. The blog is located at http://digdagga.com

Setup FYI, I'm using the same dummy head and the same silicon ear casts as before. But this time I'm using the Core-Sound binaural set with the mics mounted externally (just inside the ear) and directed towards the ear canal. This seems to have done well to eliminate as much direct sound wave impact on the mic elements as possible. I'm letting the shape of the outer ear do most of the work.

Binaural Beats Entrainment Better with LED Lights

nospam@example.com (Rich Lewandowski) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 07:42:04 -0700

An open source project enabling microcontroller synthesized binaural beats synchronized with LED lights continues to hold my attention. The Make Magazine solder and software instructions along with kit parts helped me to build several versions of the device. I'd never stuck with listening to recorded binaural beats before but the brush fires this particular project triggered finally moved me to spend the $20 to order the basic kit that needed to be modified using the helpful instructions freely available.

The web community enthusiasm and thrill of the build fueled the sprint to my first use; the hot glue had hardly cooled. The visual effects got my attention. Previously unimaged colors and patterns came from my own brain. Clearly I'm visually oriented and I didn't focus my attention exclusively on the audio generated until about two weeks of daily use of the device. It generated the same "brain-wave states" but without the visual effects that set the hook and seem more powerfully entraining.

You can browse through the reference links and continue reading about this sound and light machine, which is sometimes called a mind machine, and visit some of the sites I found most helpful. I've included a recording of the sound portion of the standard program that comes with the initial firmware installation.

Binaural Video - Very Well Done

nospam@example.com (Rich Lewandowski) — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 05:28:05 -0700

I've been a visitor to this site for a while now. I finally have some content to share with all you binaural fans. I've done a youTube music video using my homemade binaural head. Unfortunately, I had to sacrifice video quality to get the higher res stereo audio (bandwidth limits of youTube etc...). Hope you enjoy, drop me a comment at jeffmo77 using gmail.com if you'd like.

Here's the video:

The group developed a binaural technology based on HRTF (namely, dummy head-based), in use by AIR FRANCE since the beginning of 2006. The site has video and audio clips and a demonstration of binaural mobile phones. A binaural studio is also available.

L'association OmniHead

http://www.univ-brest.fr/mstis/omnihead/accueil.htm

The purpose of the French association of binaural sound engineers and artists is to study the techniques of sound recording and reproduction able to respect a three-dimensional sound space, i.e. our sphere of usual perception. People of France Telecom and IrCAM are involved.

AURICLE : musical communications for the next century of sound

They linked to us and clearly took online audio to another level. Click on the graphic to visit the site.

Auricle is your aural thinktank and monthly global infoscanner offering wired intelligence for navigating the ever-expanding sonic galaxy. The inside hyperguide to emerging musical thought, Auricle is published monthly from the liberated laptop laboratories of Auricle Communications, Chicago, Illinois. Xecutive Inducer: Mark Christopher Riva, who having reasoned with himself, judged it to be for the interest of the present and future generations that they should be acquainted with his thoughts.
Auricle outlines a constellation of sound and vision where the virtual and real blend together into a fuzzy twilight zone of hi-fi and cy-fi. Within that zone is an infinity of ideas to feed your mind's ear with sonic intelligence - vibrant points that are elementally important - not merely as a form of entertainment, but means of identity. One of our most significant motifs is that we don't spin music, music spins us. Prepare to be the spinner and the spun with Auricle, a giant musical composition where you are simultaneously its audience, DJ, engineer, producer, performer and composer.
