Sonic Encounters: An Original Music Podcast by Synthesist Mark Mosher

In celebration of Halloween, I have a special release for you. It’s a live recording of a song called “Interdimensional Breach” from a set we did as the Carbon Dioxide Ensemble at the Rocky Mountain Synthesizer Meet’s 2023 Halloween Synth Concert in Boulder. It was improvised and recorded in one take in front of a live audience and captured as a multi-channel recording.

Members of the Carbon Dioxide Ensemble include Thomas Lundy on Copper Heart articulated with dry ice, Victoria Lundy on Theremin and Live Electronics, and I (Mark Mosher) on Synths, Live Sampling, and Heart FX. More info at  linktr.ee/co2e and carbondioxideensemble.com.

We will be premiering a multi-cam and multimedia video of this same performance (including video shot on a 360 camera) of the entire set on October 30th night at 9 PM Mountain time over on youtu.be/6mdcgX6Gfbk?si=JyX4BQWJJUEKDl9P.

Here is the storyline for the video.

00:00 Part 1 - Initiating Transmission. The set opens with us slowly building halloween vibes from Boulder Station.

00:47 Part 2 - Warp Bubble. The venue begins to warp as our signals attract energy from another dimension.

03:02 Part 3 - Interdimensional Breach. A breach to another dimension opens just outside the venue. Energy from this dimension reacts to our performance.

10:29 Part 4 - Extreme Heart. Noise from the heart begins to close the breach.

11:02 Part 5 - Return To Your Normally Scheduled Life. The breach starts to close and we return back to normal reality in Boulder.

No humans were harmed in this performance.
