A day dedicated to immersive music, organized by PXL-Music Research.

Talks by internationally renowned speakers, immersive concerts, and workshops by Amptec, Dolby, DPA, Sennheiser, Klang, d&b, Neumann & Dear VR.

We want to inspire the music industry and all its stakeholders with the limitless possibilities, beauty, and emotional impact of immersive music, both live in the concert hall and online via streaming platforms. This includes in-depth, specialized talks as well as hands-on workshops and crash courses on immersive music.

Our goal is not only to inspire but also to guide, share knowledge, and bridge the gap between creativity and technology. Immersive music offers a completely new dimension to the listening experience, but fully unlocking its potential requires collaboration between artists, engineers, and industry partners. With this initiative, we aim to lower the threshold and pave the way for innovative and immersive music productions.
