Sound-Space Audio Lab is the name of my recording/production facility and record label. This section of the website is home to multi-channel, high-definition recordings of my work as a performer and composer.

Most of my musical activities involve the use of highly detailed, immersive sound environments. In order to fully capture my works, SSAL recordings use high-definition, multi-channel audio. In addition to the high-definition, multi-channel recordings, high-definition stereo and CD-quality stereo versions are also available.

SSAL recordings are available on this website's online store as digital downloads and in two-disc albums (audio CDr + two-sided data DVD). The audio CDr (containing format D) is playable on standard CD players. The data DVD contains audio files in formats A, B, and C.

Welcome and happy listening.

Below are a few details which should enable the listener to get the most out of an SSAL recording.

SSAL recordings, as a reflection of my musical aesthetics, are highly dynamic recordings. In other words, there is a huge range between the softest and loudest sounds. The PDF notes accompanying the recordings give directions for setting playback levels based on the loudest section in the composition.

Cube: For the cube format, eight loudspeakers should be placed at the vertices of a cube with the listener in the center.

Quad: For the quad format, four loudspeakers should be placed at the vertices of a square with the listener in the center. The tweeters should be at about the same height as the listener's ears.

Stereo: For the stereo format, two loudspeakers should be placed in front of the listener at + and - 20 to 30 degrees. If the speakers are too close together, the stereo image will smaller than necessary. If the speakers are too far apart, the stereo image will be lost (sounding like two separate audio channels coming from the two different speakers). The tweeters should be at about the same height as the listener's ears.
