In this episode 1 of season 9 of the comusik Podcast, we present Mexican composer and musician Enrique Mendoza Mejia who will share with us his research and creative process through a new system called Hybrid Audio Diffusion Systems (HADS) as part of his artistic doctoral research at the private Anton Bruckner University in Linz, Austria. The use of headphones is strongly recommended to fully experience the binaural version of the pieces.

Enrique Mendoza Mejia:

Born in Mexico City and based in Vienna, Enrique Mendoza is an electroacoustic music artist, focused on acousmatic composition, live electronics, and live spa@alisa@on. His electroacoustic composition and performance put into play DIY analog oscillators, lo-fi mini- synths, custom software, 3D immersive audio technology, and multi-channel systems.
