OBE (Binaural) by Fraction

WARNING: HEADPHONES ONLY
This release is a 3D binaural version of the original 5.1 surround mix. Binaural audio is specifically designed for headphone listening and will not translate accurately over stereo speakers.

ObE was originally conceived for the Satosphere—an immersive environment featuring a 360° spherical screen and 157 loudspeakers. This binaural version aims to recreate the spatial depth and sonic immersion of the original experience.

ObE – Summary
Born from the intersection of audiovisual art and interactive installation, ObE offers a unique and immersive sensory journey. This hybrid piece guides the viewer through an experimental, organic landscape—both visual and sonic.

Structured as a dynamic 35-minute performance, ObE alternates between pre-composed chapters and interactive “ObE moments.” It invites exploration of an ambient digital ecosystem where minimalist generative 3D visuals meet spatial electroacoustic sound design.

The result is a destabilizing yet mesmerizing experience—immersing the listener in a living digital organism.

Fraction is the sonic alias of Eric Raynaud, a Paris-based artist sculpting sound into immersive, spatial architectures. His compositions drift between atonal drone, fractured rhythms, and generative textures. On Bandcamp, he shares raw experiments—echoes of larger works that explore the poetics of space, perception, and sonic matter.
