Immersive Music & Magic: Shaping the Future of Immersive Performance
Conference
Immersive Music & Magic: Shaping the Future of Immersive Performance
Speakers: Julie Blore-Bizot (Director of Creative Partnerships, L-Acoustics), Voices From The Lake (Donato Dozzy & Neel)
Moderator: Richard Burki (Founder, Future Phonic Studios)
From intimate club sets to large-scale installations, artists are using immersive technology to transform how live music is felt and heard. In this session, sonic pioneers Donato Dozzy and Speedy J share how spatial audio, modular setups, and experimental performance design are redefining what’s possible on stage. We’ll explore the creative potential of space as a compositional tool — and how systems like L-Acoustics’ cutting-edge immersive sound technology are enabling artists to build shows that move beyond stereo into deeper, more dynamic sensory worlds.
