Inchindown- worlds longest reverb, "Resono" project by Esk

Hello all. 

Recently (for the last two years) ive been involved on a location based  acoustics project with a team/label "Esk". Sam Annand, Craig Gallagher, Paul Gault, Scott Gordon. 

2 weeks ago  for one of our locations we visited Inchindown, the worlds longest reverb and played  a site specific  composition  based on  implulse responses into the space. Thats the central theme of the project in a nutshell.  

we are going to start the release process shortly but heres a glimpse of the recording session. 

its quite easily the most surreal space i have ever encountered. 1 min 12 reverb. absolutely insane. 

project details and other locations can be found on our website which is being updated as we work ou way through the material.

full release scheduled will be updated in due course. 

thanks 

Scott.

ah, don't know what i did there. i think thats it working now,  cheers. 

holy shit that sounds fkn amazing

take some bells there and make acoustic oversteps lol

Vid sounds like something from Quaristice! Must be something else to actually be present in that space making sounds.

Thanks. yes- its was a pretty insane experience. the floor of the space was entirely covered in marbled residual oil, looked amazing iridescent 

colours. a lit up when it caught the light, that was trippy enough. almost impossible to describe the physicality of the sound,  we had three different recorders setup and we managed to get a pretty good representation, totally mental tho. short percussive noises seem to almost separate sf become all harmonic, and when you breech a certain threshold theres this huge slap back followed by a kind of surge of lows.  this would change depending on your listening position,  really something else.  i hope we can do it justice through the release. gave it our best shot anyway. 

1:12 beats the reverb time in that cistern where Pauline Oliveros recorded The Readymade Boomerang by almost 20 seconds. Amazing.

oh my god I wish I could live in there and inhale noxious fumes and descend into pale isolationist drone ghost made up of pure sound

same

I'm trying to imagine how majestic a mellotron choir would sound in that thing

Scott, do you have an impulse response of the space?

this is REALLY cool

I noticed Scott commented on this on and did a little digging and voila!

Here you go!

cool! thnx! ;)

Thanks for linking that. sorry , I've been away but yeah those are the impulses available.

we would ideally have done a sweep of the place to compliment trevor cox's  Ir's but we ran out of time and generator fuel on the day. must have been about 9 hours in there so we were all absolutely covered in oil etc, had to bail. 

anyway-  so you know.  a lot of IR plugins do not support this because its soo long.  'reverberate"  works if i remember and possibly altiverb. i think i used both and will check with Sam but I'm sure he used altiverb as swell. . 

Very Cool 

I really enjoy all the projects you've put out, Scott. 

Mucho respect, yo 

thanks, too kind, I've done a whole heap of shit stuff as well. :) 

this project "Resono" especially is by no means just me-   Its Sam Annands initiative with myself Craig Gallagher and Paul Gault. Supported by Alt media.  Im a small cog on this one. 

great to see the positive feedback tho. been two years planning and work so were all chuffed that its nearing release stage etc. 

cheers.

were moving towards release stage for this project now so heres a couple clips form the venues i took on my phone for anyone interested.
