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 thirteenth edition of its Sonorous series, Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) invites internationally acclaimed sound artist Ros Bandt and Tamil-Australian electronic composer Vijay Thillaimuthu to engage with the incredible instruments of the MESS collection. Crafting an immersive multichannel electroacoustic performance, these two extraordinary artists explore the potential of sound 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.
