To push the boundaries of what's possible in this field, an international group of people meet at Notam's spatial audio meetups once a month to explore techniques, workflows, aesthetics, ideas and sounds.
Notam's Spatial Audio meetup is a meeting place for working with surround sound for artistic purposes. Here, some of the world's leading experts and technologists meet curious artists and beginners. Together, they explore new ways of expressing themselves in broadcast formats.
On the 15th of May, it's time for another online Spatial Audio meetup! This time the host, Monica Bolles, will be visited by the ECHO project.
