Stanford Dust is a concert piece entirely based on recordings taken during a residency at The Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University in Spring 2013. The source material has been treated in various ways including filtering, layering and granular synthesis to create a large pool of complex evolving textures. These will be further processed, mixed and diffused during the concert to form a one hour long stream of slowly changing sonic particles. Stanford Dust will be presented on May 23 and May 24 at Stanford's Bing Concert Hall Studio.
Works for Wave Field Synthesis by Robert Henke and his students of the master's program Sound Studies at the Berlin University of the Arts got awarded with an Honorary Mention in the 'Digital Musics' category of Prix Ars Electronica 2013.
