This free, hands-on workshop is for music creators with a song, beat, homemade sound, field recording, or composition who want to explore immersive audio. We hear 3D audio in immersive films, virtual reality, games, and other media. In this practical workshop, Paul Geluso and Eric Lyon will demonstrate how to spatialize a piece, using participants' examples to explore the process.

The workshop is led by Paul Geluso, Music Assistant Professor and Director of the Music Technology Program at NYU Steinhardt, and Eric Lyon, Professor of Practice in the School of Performing Arts at Virginia Tech.
