From March to August MTU Cork School of Music invited 5 artists to devise works in our newly-opened Spatial Audio Lab as part of the Spatial Days Residency.

Spatial music, long a focus of academic research and experimental music, has recently entered the mainstream thanks to the rise of immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR) and new audio formats such as Dolby Atmos. These formats, now supported by many major streaming platforms, enable artists to craft three-dimensional soundscapes that envelop the listener and create a greater sense of immersion thanks to many additional speakers and better headphone support.

Working with CSM artistic mentors and technical advisors, they have produced a compilation album of contemporary pieces exploring creative possibilities of immersive and spatial audio. The album is available in Dolby Atmos on the supporting Apple Music, Tidal and Amazon platforms with stereo and binaural versions on other platforms like Spotify. We believe this is one of the first releases of experimental music in Dolby Atmos from the island of Ireland!
