Cathedral Scan translates the architectural plans of Gothic cathedrals into open-ended musical scores via custom software. Treating the plans as a map, in the live performance Carrington navigates through them to create diverse rhythms, drones and textures. Visually, the scanning suggests a metaphor between architecture and ghost-like palimpsest. The concert at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral will feature large-scale projection and sound performed specifically for the venue's impressive acoustics.

The full-length album is edited from a previous live concert in a large church, and combines the direct signal created in software with the immense natural reverberation of the performance space. Published by Dragon’s Eye Recordings.
