Created as a resource for artists and students in our community to publicly experiment with 3-dimensional audio spatialization, Unity Gain allows composers to present work in ways not possible on conventional systems.

“Unity Gain: VOL 1” will be the first showcase of this system. At this event, Unity Gain will be configured as a ring of sound encompassing audiences in Open Signal’s Studio A for two days, within which eight selected regional artists will present an intriguing array of multi-channel audio compositions and performances.
