Beyond Immersion: Spatial Sound as Practice

Panel discussion with Enyang Urbiks (Urbiks Music), Andrew Rahman (Spatial Media Lab/d&b audiotechnik), Basel Naouri (TimeLab/Spatial Media Lab), Elizabeth Davis (Wilted Woman) and Doron Sadja Spatial sound is often framed through systems and setups. This conversation shifts the focus to practice. Bringing together artists working across electronic music, sound art, production and composition, the panel explores how space operates as material. How spatial thinking shapes process, performance and perception, and where technology gives way to artistic intention. Moving away from hardware-led discussions, this session centres on decision-making, restraint, movement and silence, and the evolving relationship between sound and architecture.
