Exhibition
The Lab features a selection of works articulated around our ambiguous relationship to technology.

Workshop: Composing with sound spatialization
Sound diffusion across multiple speakers is an art form, especially where real-time control is concerned. This workshop by Juan Duarte Regino will focus on live sound spatialization techniques using Ambisonics and parametric-procedural diffusion methods.
Participants will bring to the workshop an existing sound piece that is suitable for diffusion across 4-8 channels.
At the end of the workshop, participants will setup their multichannel sound piece to be presented during The Lab in the unique sonic environment of the Kleiner Wasserspeicher.
Maximum limit: 7 participants.
Hours: 18:00-22:00 on each day.
