Mining for Diamonds

This is the second of their binaural videos so far with more on the way.

Dallas uses small in-ear binaural microphones to capture recordings that share all of the potency of a suround sound experience when listened to through headphones - you can spot him in the video knelt, motionless in front of the band!

Whether you're a fan of Swimming's music or not, it's a joy to experience sound that takes you one step closer to the real thing with these intimate performances. Even if you do have to wear headphones whilst you do it.

 

Sun In the Island

This is the first of their binaural videos, that documents the day Swimming performed a unique acoustic version of Sun In The Island in James Turrell's Skyspace in the heart of the Kielder Forest, Northumberland, UK.
