== '''Workshop Introduction''' ==

The 5 day workshop contains a gentle introduction, hands-on exercises and gives time for individuals or groups to compose and create pieces of music/sound art with a 32 channel 3 D Sound System. 3D audio is a technology for reproduction of audio in space, adding the vertical dimension and higher resolution to usual surround sound. The natural dynamics of sound in space can be imitated and immersive life-like listening experiences can be created. 

The workshop is open to artists interested in performance, composition, installation and the technical aspects of immersive and spatial audio. The projects will be performed at the final public concert on 29 of October (location TBA).
The workshop is ideal for musicians, DJs, composers, theatre directors, producers, artists, audio engineers and programmers. No previous knowledge in 3D audio required.

Does Sound create Shadows?

- Difference between Light and Sound(mostly wavelength)

- How is it possible to create a sense of infinity in sound? what can be the elements i.e. texture? volume? tonality? variation? 

- How to create dimensions in sound? i.e. can you create a cubist sound? . . . like breaking up a cube into multi dimensions?

- we know sound to be a physical entity . . . and yet the way we hear sounds has a dimension in our experience that is also ephemeral - does this mean that sound too has a metaphysical character that can work with our imagination in an imaginary way? beyond the material reality of sound?
