That's a sweet concept, and a fun way to collaborate with active field
recording. I'll have to try that (giving you guys reference cred of
course)!

I've used very rough "impulse" recordings to do binaural placement for
sounds--as well as pure abstract textures as Malte suggested--with very
nice results. See soundfiles and descriptions below from Karosta Project

An excerpted acoustic study of an abandoned Soviet aircraft bunker. Max
Borisov wears ear-mount binaural microphones, and I test the space with
bricks and stones. Max and I found this technique very interesting, as
it allows one person to literally "become" a human microphone, and the
other to perform for that audience/recorder [many thanks to Aaron Ximm
for inspiration in this and other matters]. A clever soul might use
these acoustic signatures to place other sounds in the same space
virtually...

Original Formanta EMS-01 Synthesizer improvisation [OGG 2min08sec 1.34Mb]

Formanta.Drone [Surface.Noise] [OGG 7min10sec 4.92Mb]
http://www.gracies.org/derek/audio/formanta.drone.edit.ogg

The first is an excerpt of a live improvisation made on Maxim Borisov's
Formanta EMS-01 synthesizer. This is a big, nasty Russian synth that is
almost totally useless for melody, but has this amazing noise-driven Low
Frequency Oscillator with an array of filters behind it. All sounds on
the first track came only from this random sequencer, without laying a
finger on the keys. The second track resulted from a digital
cross-breeding with surface noise from an old Soviet marching
record--instant texture and depth!
