ImPulsar4

What happens when a quadraphonic recording is folded down to two channels, seeded with interference, then unfolded back to four? What comes back sounds almost like the original — but subtly wrong. Spatial certainty is gone; what should be here appears there.

ImPulsar4 uses the QS Regular Matrix — an algorithm from the 1970s for encoding four audio channels onto two — as an instrument of displacement. Elementary sounds are encoded, interfered with, and decoded across four channels, producing unexpected moments of spatial serendipity through intentional phase variations.
