Sound design techniques are not limited to using the same principle throughout his collection.
However, the idea of trying to blur the boundaries between electronic and acoustic live instrumentation remains the same.
The Dolmen Project was founded by the Hungarian born, Netherlands based, Tamas Soos in 2006.
It is dedicated to atmospheric, deep, soundscape orientated musical expressions to create immersive sonic experiences.
From hypnotizing, slowly evolving textures to surrealism and abstraction, the Dolmen Project focuses on long form live acts that invite the listeners to enter a contemplative headspace.
His albums, as well as his live performances, provide the opportunity to explore the trance-inducing properties of extended sound exposure. Whether it can be described as ambient, sleep music or psychedelic new age, he is more comfortable leaving it for others to categorise.
The core of his motivation is to compose music with the ability to shift the brain’s normal waking state, into a deeply focused, altered state of consciousness where listeners lose their sense of time and become completely absorbed in the sound.
List of some of the sound design techniques:
Analog subtractive synthesis combined with digital signal chain processing methods such as delay networks, reverbs, granular effect processing.
Native American flutes, tongue drum, lapsteel guitar, haken continuumini, field recordings by using ORTF and M/S microphone techniques.
