Kernel Expansion contains three interconnected sections and addresses the essence of sound in its rich multiplicity, exposing the 'kernel' or heart of some specific sound sources; from outdoors, from inside, from realities, dreams and imaginations.
'Kernel Expansion' was commission by, and realised in the studios of ZKM, with additional support from the Norwegian Cultural Council. The work is spatialised in a hybrid ambisonics format. Some source materials were recorded with a 'b-format' microphone, other materials were synthesised in higher-order ambisonics (high precision spatial audio). The work was premiered over ZKM's 43-loudspeaker Klangdome concert system.
