Topic points
The Spatial Sound Lab proposes a distributed sonic exchange structured as embedded micro-residencies between spatial audio spaces. Short, focused studies—such as listening exercises, working methods, or systems in use—circulate between labs and are reactivated according to the specific acoustic, technical, and architectural conditions of each site. Rather than pursuing replication or technical equivalence, the project emphasizes translation: how sound and process shift as they pass through different environments. Participation unfolds through hosting, responding, and listening, allowing each space to retain authorship while contributing to a shared field of inquiry. By foregrounding analog and virtual listening as modes of access, the project creates a low-infrastructure framework for collaboration that enables dialogue between spaces, supports shared resources, and opens pathways for future research, presentation, and mobility.
