Equipped with 47 Meyersound loudspeakers arranged in a hemispheric setup ZKM_Klangdom is the ideal space for concerts of spatial music. With this unique speaker instrument complex polyphonic surround sound movements can be performed realistically and perceived from every place in the concert room. This plasticity of sound in space can be controlled by the specially developed control software Zirkonium.


IRCAM WFS-System

Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) is a sound reproduction technique that goes well beyond the limits of conventional systems in terms of reproduction fidelity in a wide listening zone. WFS aims at reproducing or synthesizing the true physical attributes of a sound field over an extended area of the listening room.
For inSonic2015 a WFS array of 128 Amadeus PMX-5 ES loudspeakers from IRCAM Paris will be installed in Karlsruhe.


The Morning Line

The Morning Line is a large outdoor sculpture conceived by Matthew Ritchie and commissioned by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary Foundation (TBA-21). This Sound Pavillion shaped in an open fractal based structure is equipped with 46 loudspeakers and 12 subwoofers. The central control unit of The Morning Line is driven by a special software designed by Tony Myatt. InSonic2015 will feature a selection of compositions interacting with this unique environment for spatial audio.


HfG Lichthöfe (atriums)

With the possibility of installing custom type or even totally unusual speaker setups this place provides numerous oppurtunities for the exploration of the aesthetic potential of sound in space.
