This hands-on workshop invites DJs and live artists to explore spatial sound as an active performance tool using Ableton Live and the Ambrio Sound SPM Spatial Mixer.
Developed in collaboration with Ableton and Ambrio, the session introduces a new approach to shaping sound in space, moving beyond stereo towards fluid real-time control within a multi-speaker environment provided by AIAIAI Audio's UNIT-4 monitors.
Participants will work directly with the Ambrio Spatial Mixer, the world’s first DJ mixer designed for intuitive 3D spatial control, and explore how it integrates seamlessly with Live for performances. Focusing on practical workflows, movement and creative use cases, the workshop opens space for experimentation with depth, motion and spatial effects as compositional elements.
If you’re an Ableton user, be prepared to bring your Ableton Live project to the session via your laptop. CDJs will also be provided.
