Residency Programme 



The 4DSOUND Residency Programme invites international artists to explore the potential of spatial sound using our advanced engine. With the support of skilled engineers, residents can tailor their experience to suit their artistic or research-based practices.

4DSOUND collaborates with partner studios in Berlin (MONOM Studios), Vancouver (Lobe Studios), New York City (MERCER LABS), Copenhagen (IT University), and Veszprém (CODE Museum) to offer a customized residency experience.

At our Amsterdam studio, residencies take place in the Broedplaats Contact theatre, which features a 16.2 spatial sound system—16 omnidirectional speakers suspended from the ceiling and mounted on adjustable trusses. Our technical team assists residents in familiarizing themselves with both the 4DSOUND engine and the physical studio setup. The level of support varies based on each artist’s needs, ranging from complete independence to close collaboration. Our team brings diverse expertise, having worked with ensembles, theatre productions, digital composers, singers, architects, and more.

Upon completing the residency, artists are invited to join the 4DSOUND digital archive, which contains over 200 works created across all our studios. The archive is showcased at 4DSOUND events through listening sessions and is also used in workshops and demonstrations of spatial sound. Additionally, artists may have the opportunity to perform live at future 4DSOUND events or in cross-studio collaborations with our international partners.

Beyond access to a groundbreaking spatial sound engine (including a three-month R&D license), the residency connects artists to a global spatial sound community, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and new creative possibilities.
