The mubone is an augmented instrument that tracks the orientation of the host object, a trombone, which effectively captures the performer’s movements for the purposes of real-time recording, playback, layering, and processing vis-à-vis a virtual 3D environment and a bespoke granular synthesis engine called mugranular.
"From Below" is a fixed media piece utilizing processed sounds from electric and hollow-bodied guitars. The composition includes a series of timbral and spatial processes to create more ethereal textures while a low drone keeps us grounded throughout. This separation between “below” and “above” is further outlined through melodies that move between and outside of the electronic processes.
