“Sonic Images” an Electronic Music Concert
Dr. Araújo will perform works he and other composers created. This concert will feature an immersive surround sound system. The performance will place the listener inside the sound! It includes electroacoustic and acousmatic works that explore sound as a spatial, immersive, and autonomous medium. Detached from visible sources, familiar and unfamiliar sounds are transformed and re-signified, inviting a perceptual shift in how space, gesture, and material are experienced through augmented reality and reality-bending perception.
