Painting In Sound, Hayes Green eld’s third Sunnyside release,
expands the perception of what jazz—and binaural, spatial,
immersive music—can be. An acclaimed jazz musician, composer,
and electroacoustic artist, Green eld draws from decades of traditional
and improvisational mastery and sonic exploration to create
a recording that is resonant and substantial.
Captured with Max/MSP and SPAT spatial and binaural software,
the album positions the listener inside a fully three-dimensional
sound eld. Green eld treats space as an equal voice, shaping air,
distance, proximity, and motion with the same care he brings to
melody, harmony, and rhythm. Using spatial placement and movement
through the immersive eld, lines arc and spiral, instruments
and textures shimmer, orbit, recede, and tones approach, and dissolve.
