aural allure is a composition centred on the act of listening. The work unfolds from a text written by the composer and voiced in multiple languages, where the voice becomes both material and metaphor: a whisper that structures time, space, and emotion.
The piece reflects on the experience of being transformed through sound, exploring how timbres and textures can alter perception, awaken memory, and bend spatial awareness. Listening is treated not as a passive act, but as an immersive process in which sound reshapes the listener’s relationship to space and self.
Developed over five years of composing and performing spatial music with the Hybrid Audio Diffusion System (HADS), aural allure brings together the composer’s sonic vocabulary. It synthesises favoured timbres, spectral processes, and spatial diffusion strategies—not as a retrospective, but as a conscious immersion into a sound world chosen for its intrinsic aesthetic pleasure.
