As part of Ultima Festival, I reworked older classics of electronic music to make them work in a 3D audio speaker dome using the technology of ambisonics.

At Ultima 2019, by commission of Notam, I created ambisonics versions of:

  • Faust by Else Marie Pade (1962)
  • De Natura Sonorum by Bernard Parmegiani (1974)
  • Poème électronique (1958) by Edgard Varèse

At Ultima 2020, by commission of NyMusikk, I live-diffused in the forest of Ekeberg in Oslo:

  • Points by Ruth Anderson (1974)
  • So What by Ruth Anderson (1971)

At Ultima 2021, by commission of Notam, I created ambisonics versions of:

  • Stress Osaka by Éliane Radigue (1969)
  • Traffic by Lily Greenham (1975)
