“The world's most advanced spatial sound system” opens in Funkhaus on 1 December

A new performance venue in Berlin called MONOM is set to open on 1 December. Containing a new spatial sound system built by 4DSOUND, the space has a capacity of 400 and features omnidirectional speakers suspended throughout the venue and subwoofers placed under transparent flooring. It’s located in Funkhaus, the old GDR broadcasting centre. The intention, claims the press release, is that the audience “do not hear sound coming from speakers: instead, sounds appear in the space as independent physical entities”. They aim to use the flexible sound system so that performers and listeners can occupy the same fluid space, and artists will be specially commissioned to create pieces exploring its possibilities and potential to integrate with other technologies.
