Then Im ya man Per... I have been recording binaural recordings for about 20 years... I started after researching what TG was using in the 80īs (Throbbing Gristle) and also built many pairs of mikes for in ear recording... the best I had were a sennheiser set which actaully came with a dummy head. I have many hours of field recordings done with them... and for a while recorded some gigs using the technique.. not so impressive... unless you LIKE hearing the bar conversation...
I have alsop recorded a totally techno record, but where all the samples (drums basss weird noises) were recorded binaurally and put into my sample in stereo as micor binaural chunks... I have made reverb tracks, by bringing a ghetto balster to reverby places and say opposite, recording the reverb binaurally with in ear mikes... for later addition to the mix...
Art.. i checked out you page.. you really took it seriously.. I never bother to make miine pretty... I just stuck em in my ears!! (with a bit of BluTack) and into my minidisk recorder...
I cant speak for the "psychedelic" effects of "being there-ness" Im pretty certain my zoom h4 sounds basically the same, without the dummy head thing, by using crossed mike phase stuff...
For serious audio weidness in this vein, get Psychic TV - Dreams Less Sweet. Recorded using the Zucurelli Holophonic method... which I dont know what it is, but appears to be Binaural but with a mysterious black box between the head and the desk... what that box contains was a secret... (Im wiki-ing as I type) but anyway was the scariest record for many years for me... Check out the Rotweiler growling in your ear, while a Salvation Army Band marches past... Check out the Choir boy who walks all the way round you, and check out the (yes it was 1983, height of Goth... ) dummy binaural head being buried... yes buried in a coffin... in a genuine graveyard...
go figure...
