Matt Barnard: Capturing, Playing, Replaying Space
An impulse response captures how a space answers back to sound. Matt Barnard's talk explores derelict buildings, lost rooms and recorded voices, asking what happens when a space becomes something to compose with, and when a sound becomes a space in its own right.
Spatial Audio programme
A continuous spatial audio listening room featuring artists' work on rotation, open from 10:30am to 6pm across all three days. Drop in at any point.
