Sound diffusion system by Hear Th↓s Space
Hear Th↓s Space are a collection of composers and curators who put on site-sensitive events. We conjure our events in unique settings, letting the contingencies of the site/space meld the curation of sound based works and the choice of speaker system. We also work collaboratively with other arts practitioners and musicians to facilitate multi-speaker sound systems as part of external events.
Hear Th↓s Space team will consist of:
