Spatial Sound and Creative Development Studio

4DSOUND is an Amsterdam-based studio focused on spatial sound as a creative medium. For over a decade, we have been pioneers in the design of advanced spatial audio software and omnidirectional sound systems. Through the development of custom-made technology and close collaboration with innovative artists, our studio fosters a dynamic international network of creatives, engineers, venues, and institutions within the fields of music, art, education and research.

Beyond technological innovation, we arecommitted to fostering collaborative artistic exploration, bridging the gap between creators and cutting-edge spatial audio tools. By providing artists, researchers, and performers with adaptive and intuitive systems, we empower them to push the boundaries of sound-based storytelling and musical expression. Our goal is not only to advance spatial audio technology but also to cultivate a dynamic ecosystem where creative minds can reimagine the future of music, performance, and interactive sound experiences.
