Misha Douglas MacLaren and Aengus Havinga will be presenting the result of an ongoing artistic research about sleep and the boundaries of human cognitive states. A new work exploring auditory hyperreality thereby questioning our sense of reality. Misha and Aengus invites you to listen closely, premiering their composition, specially crafted for the 4D system on the 18th of April 2024 in Amsterdam.

A recording of the installation will be released soon.

This event was made by Making Contact which is an organisation that creates residencies within spacial audio system such as 4D Sound.

Aengus Havinga began developing his artistic language early in life. Growing up in various parts of Europe he was surrounded by a variety of parallel cultures. And thanks to his fathers obsession with electronic music and his mothers obsession with dance, Aengus is able to experience music within various forms. He learned to play some piano as a teenager visiting some classic, emo pop and indie rock, but quickly gravitated to teaching himself music production with a midi keyboard and laptop. In his lowkey home studio Aengus channels his wide range of interest and incorporates it in his personal sound in developing an own signature.

Misha Douglas MacLaren is an Audio-Visual artist, Music producer, Microtuner, DJ & Vinyl enthusiast. Grown up and based in Amsterdam, his work combines installation-, visual- and spatial art with music. But also organizing events, shows and distributing vinyl. Misha is deeply influenced by the interaction between the physical and psychological world. His goal is to express this within the intimacy & mystery of what electronic music and technology can bring. He travels towards a plane where every element is equally as important to embody the emotion. Working with a variety of artists and like minded people, where the goal is to connect all different disciplines into one complete artform.
