Binaural Audio Recording
2023
Description
“Green Apple” was created as part of an art class exercise, where students were asked to explore different techniques and interpretations of the green apple theme. The choice of binaural recording allows for an exceptionally realistic listening experience—when using headphones, the sound creates the sensation that the action is happening inside the listener’s head.
This recording technique intrigued me, as the act of biting into a crisp apple becomes a shared sensory experience. It is an everyday moment that occurs inside my head during the recording and inside the listener’s head during playback. Through this, we share a simple, familiar action, which takes on an intense sensory dimension.
Sound has been a medium I have been tentatively experimenting with for years, capturing fragments of daily life. I often create audio memory albums, which I listen to either alone or with people connected to the recorded moments. With Green Apple, I experiment with the possibility of connection and transference—a moment that, though familiar, does not inherently belong to the listener.
