Explore how spatial audio technologies like Dolby Atmos and ambisonics are transforming how we create and consume music. Join us for a lively discussion with Grammy award winner for 'Best Immersive Audio Album' Hans Martin-Buff, Dr Ruth Farrar, founder of the Immersive Audio Network, Natalia Mamcarczyk, sound artist and spatial audio specialist, Jake Spurgeon, a composer, sound designer and mixer and Jan Meinema, a Sound Designer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Re-recording Engineer. We will delve behind-the-scenes sharing insights on immersive music making including Flow - a 360° composition by Adrian Utley from the band Portishead. Flow is a 30-minute immersive journey in sound: an orchestra of guitars, voices, four double basses, electronic oscillators, and field recordings from Iceland. We will also share lessons gained from an Experimental Audio Camp helping artists embrace the creative possibilities of 3D sound composition to envelop listeners in music.

The Experimental Audio Camp and Flow were created at the world-renowned Real World Studios in Box, Wiltshire. Funded by MyWorld. Flow was also supported by Digital Catapult and Bath Spa University. The Experimental Audio Camp was co-produced with the Watershed and Real World Studios.
