A liberation of sonics from the shackles of stereo, Sonorous welcomes audiences to go beyond a traditional listening experience into an expanded sonic universe.

Marking the twelfth edition of its Sonorous series, Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) invites sound artists Prudence Rees-Lee and Rohan Rebeiro (My Disco) to engage with the incredible instruments of the MESS collection. Crafting an immersive multichannel electroacoustic performance, these two extraordinary artists infuse the space with explorations of utopia and extremes-each employing space as a fundamental compositional concern.

Join us as they explore the potential of sound in space and diffuse these brand-new commissioned works in the acoustically rich Primrose Potter Salon. This is a rare chance to hear electroacoustic works in glorious octaphonic surround sound.
