Aural Spaces – Interactive Session: Bring Your Own Sounds
Sound is a crucial medium to orient ourselves in the spaces we travel and reside in every day. While music comes to us through earbuds or speakers in a stereo manner, our ears listen to an outside world made up of 360-degree sound. We also call this spatial sound. As part of the second edition of the Aural Spaces festival at The Concertgebouw, we welcome all sound enthusiasts to contribute to a new composition for the 4DSOUND system, while joining an introduction to spatial listening and 4DSOUND technology.
This interactive listening session is for everyone with an interest in spatial sound. No technical or musical skills are needed to participate. The session is developed by 4DSOUND and FIBER Festival, as part of the Aural Spaces festival at The Concertgebouw.

Interactive session
In this interactive session of 1,5 hours, you will be introduced to spatial listening, spatial composition and learn about, and most importantly listen to, artistic practices and sonic examples within the 4DSOUND system. Beforehand, you will capture sounds from your own surroundings using audio recording on your smartphone (or any other audio recording device), which you will share with our team before the event. We will turn them into a variety of listening experiences, in combination with the sound of other participants.
Bring Your Own Sounds
Together, we bring in urban and natural sounds from outside The Concertgebouw, to the Recital Hall to be experienced as a crowd-sourced listening piece. In-between the listening moments, we will have a conversation about the experiences of spatial listening, learn from artist-composers Robin Koek and Mint Park and get to know the basics of the 4DSOUND system. Join us for a morning of collective listening and recomposing our city's sounds.
How to participate?
After buying a ticket you will receive an email with instructions and a link to upload your recorded sounds to a folder shared with the 4DSOUND team. If you have any questions you can reach out to info@4dsound.net.

Aural Spaces
This concert is part of the Aural Spaces festival. From 12 to 15 December, a new dimension will be added to the live music experience in the Recital Hall of The Concertgebouw. The familiar red plush chairs will make way for a 4DSOUND installation, consisting of 13 pillars with 41 speakers. Classical acoustic methods are combined with the modern technology of 4DSOUND, further expanding the possibilities of sound experience.
Aural Spaces explores the boundaries between sound and space, blurring them and merging them. The result is a completely immersive listening experience that’s all too rare. Discover and feel how the music moves through space!
