The world’s most advanced spatial audio sound system is set to debut in London next month.
In collaboration with 33-33,Ā Amsterdam-based sound studio 4DSOUND will debut the experience with a month of live programming at a striking new venue, Stone Nest, from 21st April to 20th May.
As well as live experiential shows by musicians and composers including Kali Malone, Max Cooper, Oren Ambarchi,Ā Grand River,Ā Andrea Belfi andĀ NikNak, the experience will also include the Diffusion event series, showcasing exclusive compositions written from theĀ sound systemĀ by the likes ofĀ Suzanne Ciani,Ā ZoĆ« McPherson, Thomas Ankersmit, Bendik Giske.
The programming will conclude with anĀ open-call workshop inviting UK-based composers, producers and artists to use the one-of-a-kind system. Throughout the listening experience, a large-scale grid of 4DSOUND speakers will be placed throughout Stone Nestās chapel space, surrounding the audience from all angles to create a fully enveloping omnidirectional sound environment.
The studio describes the music performed as āsonic sculpturesā which the audience is encouraged to explore from different vantage points to find new angles of appreciation. Felt as a unifying encounter, together the audience experiences spatial listening.
Speaking about the experience, 4DSOUND director Poul Holleman said: “For a decade we have been developing what we like to call spatial sound instruments; site-specific sound systems which are able to project sound holograms in a listening area, enabling artists to actually play the space as an instrument.”
“Our intention is to provide captivating listening experiences where sounds can range from realistic environments, to incredibly surreal electronic manipulations, and everything in-between. Itās not easy to describe in words the full potential of 4DSOUNDās technology, so weād like to invite everyone with an interest or curiosity in spatial sound to join us at Stone Nest.ā
