    Crossing borders to slip their political frames.

    • CTM, Urbiks Music, and spæs lab present a three‑day masterclass in spatial audio. Participants will delve into the practices shaping today’s most advanced spatial sound production. The masterclass is composed of five workshops and concludes with a sixth session on translating studio work to live spatial performance in collaboration with d&b Soundscape.

    Exploring acoustic heritage and recording lineages, this first workshop defines the core concepts of architectural listening and spatial dramaturgy. Through a compact lecture and curated listening session, the workshop examines how form, material, and decay function as essential compositional parameters. Participants establish a shared vocabulary for these phenomena, learning to perceive and utilise physical space as a musical instrument.

    The workshop's focus is on acoustic heritage, recording lineages, spatial dramaturgy. It will start as a compact lecture, followed by curated listening illustrating form, material, decay as compositional parameters. At the end participants will arrive at a shared vocabulary for perceiving space as instrument.

    Learning objectives:

    • Define architectural listening and spatial dramaturgy.
    • Identify room-driven parameters shaping composition.
    • Describe historical practices relevant to multi‑loudspeaker works.
