We Used the Moon as an Echo (And Made It Into a Free Plugin)

I discovered the technique of “Moon Bouncing“, using the moon as an echo, when I was researching composer Pauline Oliveros. Her experiences with “Echoes from the moon“ sounded fascinating. Like with all experimental music techniques of old I wanted to try the process for myself. This started a two year long journey. With the support of Martine-Nicole Rojina (who also helped out on camera on location) I got in contact with the radio telescope in Dwingeloo, a huge dish designed for space exploration. They helped me send signals to the moon: a sopranist (Johanna Vargas), a double bassist (Paul Cannon) as well as sounds from my patrons Sventothem, Michael Féaux, Andrew Stone, harper2k, Filip Ferngren, Dave Seidel,  Gary Walker, Michael Peters, the void inclusive, Brendan Ford, David Williams, Joey Pop, Jeremiah Turner, Richy486, Joshua Philgarlic, Tim Moore, Grant Basma Horsnell, Arson Bright, Dan Kibke, Antonio T, Chris Sherman, Sergey, Charlie, Bartek Trame and Dixit. This fascinating experience yielded an extensive set of samples that @audiothing and me analyzed and used to create the free plugin “Moon Echo“. This way you can experience some of the magic of moon bouncing yourself.
