Experience a whole new way to immerse yourself deeply in a 360° electronic sound meditation with one of the most fascinating, affective and technologically advanced speaker systems ever created, accompanied with customised soundscapes created by sound artists Angela McArthur & Gerriet K Sharma.

Generating immersive 3D sound fields, the IKO uses an array of twenty speakers to project Higher Order Ambisonic sound spaces.

Projecting outwards, the IKO enables genuinely sculptural compositional possibilities, embracing and seamlessly integrating room acoustics into the constructed sound space.

Sound and space merge to create shifting planes of rhythms, frequencies and intensities.

‘The way it actively engages the acoustics of the room seamlessly blends physical and sonic spaces. You don’t feel that you’re playing back music in a space. The space itself becomes part of the music.’

Andrew Knight-Hill - Director, Sound & Image Research Group, University of Greenwich.
