Composer and sound artist Sam Dunscombe surrounds audiences in an acousmonium–an immersive “loudspeaker orchestra” of more than two dozen custom-positioned speakers. First developed in the 1970s by the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in Paris, the acousmonium was designed to project electroacoustic music in space—treating each speaker as an individual voice in a vast sonic field. Dunscombe’s hand-built system transforms the room into a living architecture of sound, where tones move, swirl, and morph depending on where you stand. The program features spectral soundscapes and textural explorations that invite audiences to walk, turn, and listen from multiple perspectives, making each seat a unique vantage point. It’s a rare opportunity to experience sound not just as music, but as a three-dimensional environment you can inhabit.
