Asa has spent the last 10 years involved multi speaker soundscapes, both through his work with Illustrious Company and on his own projects. These have included; huge, outdoor, fully immersive 360˚ soundscapes to Dolby Atmos, 7/5.1 surround and Binaural mixing. The future is immersive and its already here.

See blog post on spatial sound: http://asabennett.wordpress.com/2014/03/09/spatial-sound-the-future-is-immersive-and-its-already-here/
- Applications of spatial sound include; immersive environments for gaming, product launches, events, educational installations in museums,galleries and educational facilities, film and TV, any large space that needs to be filled with sound at any volume (its ideal for delivering quite sound to large areas), awards ceremonies etc. In fact anywhere where you would use sound you can enhance the experience with hyper-real spatial sound. Please get in touch for more details or a demo.
