d:mension™ 5100 Mobile Surround Microphone was recently put through its paces by Australian artist, composer and lecturer Daniel Blinkhorn when he visited Mexico and Cuba to capture environmental sounds for his latest eco-acoustic composition.
As someone who describes his compositional language as 'a cross-pollination of instrumental, electroacoustic and videophonic music, all drawing from environmental sound', Daniel Blinkhorn’s aim is to get people thinking – about the diversity of our planet, the sensitivities of so many of its habitats and the vital need for all of us to better understand our roles as custodians. His latest recordings featuring the d:mension™ 5100 Mobile Surround Microphone will be released later this year and will be available through the UK label Audiobulb, and his latest surround sound release, frostbYte - one dog night, features recordings from Svalbard that were captured using DPA’s d:dicate™ 2006A Twin-Diaphragm Microphones.
