In the pre-standardisation Wild West of early ambisonic surround, we managed to hack together an immersive soundscape and score from the POV of inside the cockpit of a futuristic machine work terminal.
In a future dominated by AI-run corporations, an accountant finds herself trapped in the cult of productivity. To keep up, she undergoes a radical merger of mind and machine. In Merger, we see—and hear—her last moments as a human and her transition onto another plain.
In the early days of ambisonics, working with immersive 360-degree audio was a pioneering endeavour. Through extensive research and experimentation, we developed techniques to create an ambisonic 360 binaural mix that responds to the viewer's head movements.
We’d collaborated with Keiichi a few times before (and we have many times since) and had a proven track record for delivering creativity through technical challenges.
Merger is viewable in Oculus Rift VR, Youtube 360, and Facebook 360.
