#immersiveaudio #3daudio #3dsound #ambisonics | Peter Stitt 🌟 Congratulations to Theodor-Alexandru Petrea, who just won Silver at the Tonmeister 3D Audio Production Competition (S3DAPC) 2025 in the category Audio Drama/ Documentary/Soundscapes. As part of Theodor's award, he received a full aXBundle. Theodor’s piece is an ambitious work of immersive storytelling and philosophical exploration, blending sound design and spatial audio into powerful experiences. You can: 🔎 Explore his portfolio at https://www.renah.info/ 📸 Follow him on Instagram @_renahhttp or, 👂 Listen to his piece Desmoterion here: https://lnkd.in/eKkCR4NJ I've been sponsoring the S3DAPC for several years now because it's an important and unique outlet for young composers working with immersive audio. It’s a privilege to support such an inspiring initiative. 📺 The full prize announcement livestream, hosted by Franz Zotter, is available here: https://lnkd.in/eaRsYCnf I highly recommend listening to the shortlisted winners! Congratulations once again, Theodor, on a truly well‑deserved award! 🎧 #immersiveaudio #3daudio #3dsound #ambisonics

And how much of our identity is shaped by the tech that records us? Neurography is my new 7th-order ambisonic piece, turning digital photos into spectrogram-based textures layered with foley and spatial motion. Structured like an MRI scan, it moves through calibration, excitation, acquisition, saturation, and decay — blurring the line between remembering and imaging. As the piece unfolds, memories overlap and dissolve into noise. Is this distortion — or simply how recollection actually works? Still in development. More soon.

ALRIGHT explores the architecture of consciousness, merging voice, emotion, and spatial sound into a responsive environment. Participants’ speech shapes the evolving soundscape through Valence-Arousal-Dominance (VAD) emotion detection and text-based sentiment analysis, creating a reflective, participatory sonic experience. The piece is structured as a tripartite journey—pre-conscious, self-aware, and meta-conscious—drawing inspiration from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophical models from Plato to Freud. By interacting with the installation, visitors experience how inner states can be mirrored in sound, blurring the line between self and environment. This project pushed me to integrate affective computing, immersive audio, and interactive design, combining technical precision with a deeply conceptual exploration of perception and self-awareness.

I’ve contributed to the 76-minute octophonic installation UTOOTO, helping shape voice textures, spatial composition, and harmonic dialogues from global field recordings. This work merges spatial audio and conceptual storytelling, allowing sound to explore architecture - a utopian city - using modular sound parts. Truly grateful for the opportunity to experiment at the intersection of art and multichannel audio.

The piece explores humanity’s confrontation with its own creations—an “artificial god”—through spatialized sound, fragmented dialogue, and philosophical narrative. Over 40–60+ multitrack layers were mixed into a dynamic 3D audio environment, integrating research in neuroscience, metaphysics, and storytelling. It’s incredible to see how sound alone can shape perception and narrative, turning abstract ideas into an immersive auditory experience. https://lnkd.in/emgi4je8 Thank you to the committee, organizers, Peter Stitt (SSA Plugins) & Ben Supper (Supperware).
