At University of Gloucestershire, we've developed a range of spatial audio conferences hosted annually at Park Campus.

spatial AUDIO

at University of Gloucestershire

Attendees sat in spatial audio performance

Spatial audio is an immersive, three-dimensional sound experience, that creates the perception of height, depth, and distance.

At University of Gloucestershire, we’ve developed 3 immersive audio labs that enable our researchers and students to experiment using the latest spatial technology to produce a wide range of music and sound experiences – from our 22.2 spatial array, to our Dolby ATMOS theater and our immersive audiovisual rig.

Everyday is spatial

Our Everyday Is Spatial conference series has presented sound-works from international artists and academics including contemporary classical, hypnotic electronica and ecological field recordings.

Along the way, we have worked with composers, performers, music technologists, sound researchers and even architects to explore the possibilities of this developing audio medium.

IS SPACE THE PLACE?

ISTP is a series of performances and workshops with guest musicians and artists.

In exploring the affordances of spatial and immersive audio the creation through the medium becomes the focus. Improvised and responsive performances are recorded and released through Parkland Records with further dissemination of practice set for publication.
