In the context of his diploma thesis IMM student Jonathan Hoffman composed, recorded and mixed five songs in 5.1 surround sound and stereo for MONOPHONIST. The diploma thesis was supervised by Prof. Dr. Dieter Braun and Prof. Dr. Karin Welkert-Schmitt.
Self-build instruments and effects were created in Reaktor, including the surround-pingpong-delay Delyphon, the 6-channel-distortion module ZERR, the granular-resynthese-module GranularPhon and the synthesizer Dalöm.
The recording and mixing was done in the studio of the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf. A second mix was made in Studio 4 of the IMM.
