Devin Ashton-Beaucage - "ES6" by NAISA

Deep Wireless 9 online album is published by New Adventures in Sound Art.

"ES6" was conceived in 2009, in Montreal. The prime objective of the piece was to explore spatialization. Recordings of small and discrete sounding objects were made to contrast with much wider and recognizable soundscapes taken from Quebec's Charlevoix region. By trying to smoothen the transitions between these two very different sources, the piece became a sort of study of morphological comparisons. The piece attempts to associate very small sounds, recorded up close, with much wider sounding sources.

Devin Ashton-Beaucage is a Montreal based composer. He has earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Montreal where he has studied instrumental and electroacoustic composition. He has worked as a composer, sound designer and editor on various film and video projects.
