Dear friends of OTTOsonics & visitors!
We would like to inform you that our home base „Alter Bauhof“ will be completely renovated from April/Mai. This means that we can’t offer the space for experimenting and concerts until beginning/mid of October 2025. But of course you can contact us anytime!
SAVE THE DATE:
Due to the constructions the yearly OTTOsonics festival will take place from 5th -6th of December 2025.
The OPEN CALL for two residency periods in autumn is now online – have a look, tell your friends, apply!
Deadline is 4th of May 2025.
AND:
A neat little Festival 2024 video recap is now online !
Are you interested in working with multichannel audio? As an artist, as a band, as a cultural initiative, or as a researcher? Do you need help getting started? Are you looking for people to collaborate with?
Are you interested in a collaboration as an educational institution or a cultural initiative?
Do you want to build your own multichannel system? Do you want to learn how to work with multichannel audio as a composer or live sound engineer? Or simply want to exchange ideas?
We think that keeping a balance between technical developments, artistic contents, transfer of knowledge and live practice is essential to sustain a healthy growth. Our long term goal is to build up a network of compatible live venues, give artists opportunities to perform and earn a living, have enough trained people, knowledge and technical solutions out there to push the boundaries of what is possible right now.
We believe that producing hardware and developing technology should be in the hands of everybody. We therefore pursue an open access policy for everything we develop and encourage people to take advantage of that and join us in this endeavour.
We regularly do open meetings at tangible music lab and Alter Bauhof Ottensheim that can also be attended online. We gladly share our knowledge through workshops, lectures or other formats.
Feel free to contact us!
a collaboration between the OTTO Kulturgenossenschaft Ottensheim and the tangible music lab.
OTTOsonics is a collective of sounds-artists, developers, and sound engineers with an initiative to make immersive audio formats accessible to sound and performance artists, as well as cultural and educational institutions, and to facilitate their use in the arts and culture. OTTOsonics is an open platform for artists to address barriers to incorporating immersive sounds in all disciplines of arts and performances, to exchange technical and creative methods from production to implementation, and to share artistic and technological know-how across the field of acoustic and electronic music.
