Terence Caulkins is an acoustics researcher, designer, and sound artist based in NYC. He studied music and physics in Paris, where he obtained his PhD from IRCAM in 2008 on the applications of large-scale multichannel sound systems to live concert music. During this period he collaborated with a number of composers and sound artists for whom he developed spatialized pieces shown at IRCAM and the Pompidou Center. His most recent work with the engineering firm Arup includes the 3D binaural spatialization of an audiobook written by Nick Cave, “The Death of Bunny Munro”, with an original soundtrack by Warren Ellis and Nick Cave (fall 2009), the design of an interactive surround sound piece within SO-IL’s “Pole Dance” installation featured at MoMA PS1 (summer 2010), and a 3D headphone mix of the Spring for Music festival at Carnegie hall broadcast live on WQXR in 2011.
