About 4DSOUND

4DSOUND is an Amsterdam-based studio pushing the boundaries of spatial sound. Since 2007, the studio has been at the forefront of some of the most creatively challenging and technically complex projects using spatial audio in the context of architecture, music, opera, fashion, installation, dance, and research.

Building on more than a decade of research, development and experimentation with spatial sound technology, 4DSOUND has pioneered the design of fully omnidirectional sound environments, and developed the 4DSOUND Suite, an extensive set of tools used to create spatializations, immersive performances, compositions and interactive installations.
