Hyporreal Audio
by covert.c. on Jan.31, 2006, under geek culture, new media
Another entry in the audio universe that I wanted to share. If you haven’t heard the recently dugg “holophonic clip” yet, here it is (headphones are required for this). This may not have anything to do with computer games, but it damn well should!
This technology has been around a while, slightly analogous to how holographic images are created out of multiple images. If you’re interested, Wikipedia has a nice article.
Pretty cool, yet I’m sort of surprised that this isn’t used more often (Pink Floyd has the most famous example).

Im not sure, but the track 3 sounds a lot like someone shaking a bag of scrabble pieces then later, getting off his chair. whoa 3d! hah
I think that when people sing over their own voices in the studio it might be done like this. Im sure dr. dre knows how to work this function.

heh, dr dre knows all...
I do think you're right about recording the sound over and over again. I wasn't able to find much detail about the technique beyond that.
Pretty cool tho!
