Robert Henke - Monolake


His art is focused on carefully shaped details behind
the surface and gradual changes of repeating structures in
different time scales.


Wave Field Synthesis

Wave Field Synthesis


Wave Field Synthesis, also known as wave field-synthesis or WFS, is labeled a spatial audio reproduction procedure. The principle no longer remains dependent on psycho-acoustic phantom sound source perception, like conventional audio procedures. The soundfield is reconstructed physically. For this purpose, the synthesis emulates nature like wave fronts according to Huygens' principle by the assembling of elementary waves. A computer synthesis moves a number of separate loudspeaker membranes, mostly arranged as an array around the listener and, just in that moment, it is as if the wave front of a virtual point source is reaching its point in space.

Structure of Ambient Life - Apple Lossless Version

I put up an Apple Lossless version of Structure of Ambient Life in the download section of the Diatonis website.

http://www.diatonis.com/downloads/diatonis_ambient-life_structure-of-ambient-life_apple-lossless.zip

Probably the easiest way to listen to Apple Lossless audio files is play them in iTunes.
Download iTunes

 They sound better than any MP3 file because none of the audio information is lost when they are encoded. When you encode an MP3 you lose audio information which lowers the sound quality to something less than the original. Apple Loseless files are however larger in size but in the day of Terabyte Hard drives that really shouldn't be a problem. 

You can create MP3's from Apple Lossless files from within iTunes
 
You can use iTunes to burn them to a CDr and end up with the same sound quality you'd come to expect from an audio cd.

If you are currently using iTunes you should be able to simple drag and drop the M4A file on to the iTunes application window. Depending upon how you have iTunes set up after you drag and drop the files, iTunes will copy them in to its own directory structure. It's simpler than it sounds.
