“Dark Stations” is a forty-two minute work utilizing Schumann resonances, Spricom frequencies, binaural and monaural beat frequencies and spatial effects to induce an altered state in the listener. The event’s structure is derived from the Fibonacci series.

The audience is seated in a darkened room surrounded by a triangular array of speakers (Fig 2), in the middle is a subwoofer which completes a 3.1 multi-speaker configuration.

The audience sits in the center of the triangle and is asked to meditate during the event. After the listeners have closed their eyes the piece begins. A low thrumming sound emanates from the subwoofer, filling the area like sonic incense.

“Dark Stations” is an acoustic mirror, a reflecting pool bringing the audience’s unconscious to the surface through the technique of entrainment, allowing them to project onto the sonic gauze. “Dark Stations” could be likened to a scrying mirror into which the viewers unconscious is projected then reflected back to them.

This work was inspired by research in Jungian psychology, Hermetic philosophy, brain entrainment techniques, altered states of consciousness, meditation and a variety of other areas. The audience is requested not to applaud at the end of the session.

Cascone left the film industry in 1991 to concentrate on Silent Records, a label that he founded in 1986, transforming it into the U.S.’s premier electronic music label. Cascone sold the company in 1996, at the height of Silent’s success, in order to pursue a career as a sound designer and went to work for Thomas Dolby’s company Headspace.

After a two year stint at Headspace he then went to work for Staccato Systems as a Director of Content where he oversaw sound design using algorithmic synthesis for video games. Kim has been touring Europe since 2001 performing, conducting workshops and lecturing on post-digital aesthetics in sound art. He has released more than 50 solo and collaborative albums since 1984 and has recorded/performed with Merzbow, Keith Rowe, Tony Conrad, Scanner, John Tilbury, and Pauline Oliveros among others.

In addition to Kim Cascone, Hopek Quirin & Kris Limbach will also share dark ambient soundscapes with us. Christoph “Kris” Limbach’s  focus has always been on sound.
