The Goucher Art & Technology Salon is a series focused on the sharing of new perspectives in the fields of art, music, design, and creative technology.

For the inaugural event, we are excited to feature visiting artist Wendel Patrick and Goucher faculty member Andrew Bernstein for a program of new spatial electroacoustic music. 

Spatial Audio, broadly defined, is the practice of using space as a compositional element in music and sound design. By this definition, spatial audio includes the standard stereo (left/right) field as well as surround sound systems common in movie theaters. With the development of immersive media, including virtual reality headsets and specially designed spaces, spatial audio has become a prime concern in the creation of immersive experiences. New tools allow for more high resolution placement of sound in space, and artists haven harnessed these tools to create new work. 

This edition of the Goucher Art & Technology Salon will feature a 6.2 speaker array (6 speakers and 2 subwoofers), and live spatial audio performances exploring this new dimension in the sonic arts. 

This concert is free and open to the public. A reception with light snacks will follow the performances.
