Meeting Location:San Francisco, CA
Summary
Audium — the first theater of its kind in the world-- has been pioneering the idea of live sound movement for over 50 years. The installation occupies a custom-built facility designed specifically for the creation and performance of spatial sound-art. Audiences at its weekly performances sit and listen in total darkness, while they are enveloped by sounds emanating from 176 speakers in sloping walls, a floating floor, and a suspended ceiling. This presentation was geared towards AES members, with a short presentation and a detailed discussion of technical specifications.
