Conference
Immersive Music & Magic: Shaping the Future of Immersive Performance
Speakers: Julie Blore-Bizot (Director of Creative Partnerships, L-Acoustics), Donato Dozzy (Artist), Neel (Artist)
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 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.
