Eat Static in Surround Sound

[Zplintz]

Please forgive a poor alien if he insults your Eartherial audio customs (I have considered that this may be an unthinkable act to the musical puritans out there)

I appreciate that a huge amount of cleverness can be achieved with stereo but I expect there are a few people that could throw a DVD into their home cinema system to take advantage of more than stereo.

1, Merv, have you ever mixed a track or album in surround sound (say 5.1 or better)?

If not would you consider it?

2, How about a 90Min's psychedelic visual extravaganza synced to a surround sound mix for those lazing around in the front room with friends kind of night - it would even be an opportunity to get the Eat Static name up in lights?

......and if you need any help producing/recording it - even one track - Ill be happy to help here at the sonic arts research centre in Belfast - free of charge. We have some of the most advanced surround sound facilities in the world including the 44 speaker ambionic sonic lab !
Im doing a PHD here in "spatial audio" (seriously !) and I specialise in ambisonics and multichannel audio - Ive had a couple of international releases myself but working with Eatstatic would be such a buzz not to mention good publicity - like I say Ill do it for nowt (=;

If you interested pop us an email :

If you got really into it and wanted to record a whole album for 5.1 or something then we could talk - but why not come down and try a couple of tracks out - I reckon your stuff would sound absolutely amazing in surround sound and its really not that much of a leap from stereo to surround live

I can almost smell the bright colours of synchronised visuals underpinned by the broad audioscape of EatStatic in glorious 5.1 surround sound.

A DVD for people to chill solo as well as with friends. Something interesting enough to get onto front pages of music mags and maybe even onto youTube + BBC Click - great for the EatStatic fanatics and interesting enough to attract new people to the site and Merv's discography.

Sounds like a ball rolling to me - now all we gotta do is get Merv's attention from his busy schedule - I am guessing this will be no mean feat just before the Summer season........

[Zplintz]

Aaaah well - no reply - I guess that was a resounding no from Merv (pun unintended).

Would love to do some stuff in surround one day...prob when i actually have it set up in my own living room! watch this space...

[Zplintz]

That sounds fantastic - put me down for the first copy please.
