Discover 3D sound across five days of immersive live works and spatial audio—expanding how we create, hear and move through sound.
Supported by Arts Council England’s Grassroots Music Fund, East Street Arts, IKLECTIK, and Platform Asia co-present a one-of-a-kind 16-channel sound system in Leeds, alongside a dynamic programme of live performances, immersive listening sessions, artist talks and professional training.
From Asian experimental noise and multisensory performances by international artists to guided workshops on future-facing spatial technologies, this is an opportunity to explore what 3D sound is and how it can be used in creation and performance.
Designed for all levels of experience, this programme welcomes everyone—whether you’re new to sound art, a professional musician, a gig-goer or simply a curious listener. Join us to explore the future of immersive live performance.
