MyWorld, in partnership with the Immersive Audio Network, will bring a showcase of spatial audio performances from leading music artists connected to the West of England to SXSW London, highlighting the region’s growing reputation for creative innovation in spatial music and immersive audio technologies.

The showcase is at Christ Church (The Nave) Spitalfields in London. It is curated by Crack Magazine and MyWorld, will feature four artists and musicians with ties to Bristol, Bath, and the wider West of England, including Adrian Utley, guitarist and sonic architect for Portishead, who will present Flow, a 360° spatial composition created with Flow’s producer, Grammy Award-winning engineer Hans-Martin Buff, recorded at the world-renowned Real World Studios in Wiltshire. Speaking about the project, Adrian commented, “I think creating Flow has changed how I feel about making music.”

Flow will also be livestreamed to MIT’s Spatial Sound Lab in Boston, in a world-first immersive audio experience for collective listening. The livestream will explore the possibilities of spatial audio reproduction, transmitting channels from a d&b Soundscape system in London to a matching Soundscape at MIT, recreating the presentation in real-time.

Taking place as part of SXSW London’s programme exploring the future of music, media and technology, the event will demonstrate how artists are using spatial audio to create more immersive listening experiences and push the boundaries of live performance.

The showcase will also feature Charlie Hooper-Williams, pianist and developer, who will present his vividly beautiful piano music, using his custom software system to drive dynamic lighting responses for each piece. Emika, Immersive Audio Network’s sound artist-in-residence and Bath Spa University graduate, will perform a solo spatial piano piece. A pioneer in spatial music, Emika has been praised by artists including Thom Yorke and The Weeknd. Finally, Sega Bodega will present an immersive set merging electronic music with visual storytelling and intimate live performance design.
