T H E P L A C E

not a bubble: a forest...

a concrete space, to explore possible loudspeakers spaces and sounds, without conceptual or technical boundaries

because sound is everywhere, not only around us, presence is just as necessary as immersion

a place to shape the spatial matter of sound in three dimensions

time for sharing knowledge and emotions

make virtuality real!
