Han Bat

Carl Stone , an American composer living all around the Pacific rim, and who works primarily with electronic music, currently has an exhibition in Japan called Han Bat. It's a multi-sound installation "that builds from slow juxtapositions of various acoustic dimensions and spatializations that were enregistered using a special 8-channel portable recording system, The Octaphone, in 2007 and 2008", according to the article at Networked_Music_Review .
