Program

Ambisonic Dome: Understand the Issues Surrounding a Sound Spatialization System
Through an "ambisonic" diffusion system we rediscover how we perceive the world. We understand the power of the perceptive processes of hearing which makes us "feel", "hear", "listen" to our environment. In the hands of creators—composers in this case—it becomes an instrument used to designs space. A few examples will illustrate this sound projection technology and its immersive character.
With Simone Conforti
