Spatial audio aims to place and move sound precisely, yet the room still shapes what we hear. This talk explores how room acoustics affect spatial reproduction, what technology can compensate for—and where acoustic design remains essential.

combine position tracking, interactive sound design and spatial audio, sharing insights into their current artistic production and custom technical setup. A live demonstration offers a hands-on glimpse into the work.

What happens when space and architecture become co-creators of sound? Patrick Kizny explores new approaches to live performance and composition using spherical beamforming arrays, from ambisonics to unconventional multichannel setups.

Immersive audio isn’t always the best solution: Martin Rieger uses real-world projects to show when a production calls for 3D sound—and when stereo is the better choice.

Felix Deufel presents Grapes 2.0, the latest version of the 3D audio control software for intuitive spatial sound creation. The talk offers insights into the new features, workflow and possibilities of the updated version.

Discover Ambrio’s approach to spatial DJing and the world’s first spatial DJ and performance mixer, designed to put spatial control directly into the artist’s hands, live and hands-on.

In “Spatial Futurisms,” Dr. Angela McArthur explores the potential of spatial sound as a creative practice at the intersection of art, technology, and society.

Alejandro Cabrera shows how immersive music production works with Audio Brewers plugins—from Ambisonics recording to a 7OA mix and the creative use of spatial audio in immersive performances.

Discover SAG (Spatial Audio Gathering), an international conference bringing together diverse perspectives on spatial audio. This talk explores its origins, community-driven approach, and the artistic and research practices shaping its programme.

What are the differences between VBAP/DBAP, Higher-Order Ambisonics (HOA), and Wave Field Synthesis (WFS)? Sebastian Oeynhausen introduces the most common spatial audio techniques and explains why WFS is particularly well suited to creating a natural and realistic sound image. Using ACS and Pan Immerse 4D Audio, he will also demonstrate current WFS-based solutions in a live demo.

Wir gehen in die Sommerpause! ☀️
Im August 2026 ist programmfreie Zeit – vielleicht sehen wir uns ja mal am See 🏖

Außerdem nutzen wir die Pause für ein paar Baustellen 🏗: Im Lab muss der Boden raus, im Flügel kommt eine neue Tür zur Straße und in der Teeküche entsteht ein barrierefreies WC.

Wir sehen uns im September wieder – beim AV-Labor, der RAUM + KLANG Konferenz oder beim Ecstatic Dance.
Stay tuned! ✨

We’re taking a summer break! ☀️
There won’t be any events in August 2026 – maybe we’ll run into each other at the lake 🏖

We’re also using the break to tackle a few construction projects 🏗: We’re tearing out the floor in the Lab, installing a new door to the street in the wing, and building an accessible restroom in the tea kitchen.

We’ll see you again in September – at the AV Lab, the RAUM + KLANG conference, or at Ecstatic Dance.
Stay tuned! ✨
