Discovery: 8D Ambient Sci Fi Music For Relaxation

Музыка

There has been a lot of talk recently about “8D” music and audio. I want to offer some insight because I want people to be informed, enjoy music and not get swept away by hyped terms. In music production we typically have two audio signals (left and right) like headphones because we have two ears. This allows us to place elements anywhere from left to right to give music sonic width and enhance the quality of the music. What has become “8D audio” is actually called 3D audio and has existed for quite some time. I’ve seen 4D used and not sure what happened to 5, 6 and 7 or why someone decided to jump to 8. The three dimensions are left/right, up/down, front/behind (ie. the three dimensions in which we all exist). Using a number of techniques and different types of audio FX/software, the other two dimensions can be simulated, essentially tricking your ears into thinking that your left/right headphones are actually a surround sound experience. When you listen to “8D” music on headphones you can notice things seemingly swirling around you, as though you are being surrounded by the music itself, creating a very immersive experience. These are similar techniques used in Spatial Audio in video games and it is awesome! However, the term “8D” doesn’t mean anything because we don’t experience more than three dimensions. I am in no way discouraging creators from using the term, in fact I will be using it as well in my video titles since it’s the current term and I want people to find my videos who are looking for that specific experience. I just don’t believe that people should be led by mysterious popular words thinking they are experiencing something they aren’t. I sincerely hope you enjoy this 3D (8D) music and please let me know what you think in the comments!

    I like to think of it as a rural community's "disco-teq" getaway for dance parties and raves in a fancy structure as if they were living in the "big city". But maybe you're right and it's a mechanical "Jean Jacket" creature that consumes large mammals by luring them to what it deceptively portrays as a fun party space.

    Great track, my man. Another exquisite, thrumming venture into a world yet to be. 'Rounding a wet, scrap-filled outcropping, he stopped slack jawed looking at it... a massive network of steel, power lines, servos, and data banks. It was the same machine from his dreams, as if it had finally taken a step from thought into reality. Scanlines bathed him from sensors above and he somehow knew that he was home.'

    Dimensionality can be quite abstract, from a scientific/mathematic perspective. For example: Time is unequivocally a physical dimension (hence the term "spacetime"). Since music inherently changes with time, has a beginning and an end; music by default can be measured in the time dimension. We can go a bit more abstract, too: Pitch and volume are easy dimensions we can extend our musical measurements into. This means that even "mono" music (as opposed to "stereo") already exists in three dimensions: Time, pitch, and volume. Throw in the three spatial dimensions and we're up to 6D music. I'm no musician, but you can probably quantify a couple more dimensions here (for example, you might quantify shape of the audio 'waveform' - that's at *least* one number) and thus get all the way to 8D music. Anyways, cool track, made for a nice background tune for my debugging adventures.

    Interesting perspective and thoughts! I totally see where you're going with that, I just don't think the average person thinks that deeply haha but by what you're saying you could include timbral shifts and emotional shifts as musical dimensions to be experienced. I still think "8D" is a bit of a hype/trend thing with a lack of meaning and intentionality, but I like your interpretation of it :)

    A cube has 8 corners, if the listener is in the centre, you'd need 8 sound sources to achieve 3d hence 8D?

  • @Futurescapes-SciFiAmbience

    @Futurescapes-SciFiAmbience

    4 ай бұрын

    Well 8 sound sources would simply be surround sound. If there was a sub woofer that would be noted as “8.1 surround”. 3d (and 8d) is using digital techniques to simulate a surround sound environment but still using 2 sound sources (headphones)
