MIKROPHONIE turns the listeners attention to the inside of musical instruments, creating a sonic microscope that is performed, mixed and diffused in real time through the use of extreme close-miking.

Mikrophonie is developed by Lemur and Benjamin Maumus, one of Europe’s most experienced sound engineers and spatialization experts. By using wireless headsets as the primary audiences primary listening device, the live version of this piece challenges conceptions of instrumental, electro-acoustic and social space. In its CD version, this balancing and manipulation of real and virtual sonic rooms is further extended.
