“Acoustical Illusions”, a part of the “Hum in the Room-trilogy” (2005), is dedicated to the environmental sounds that sound like distant choirs or orchestras. Sometimes when you listen to sounds in your environmental background, they may vaguely sound like a full string orchestra, or like soft whispering voices. An orchestra tuning? Cars passing on the highway?Sound that sound different from what they really are – Acoustical Illusions. Like the other wo mixes in this set (“Mantra of Walls and Wiring” and “The Hum in the Room”) this is a very minimal, drone-oriented mix. And probably, you’ll also hear some sounds that aren’t even in it! — originally published on Ambientblog —
