A Spatial Sound Lab Tickets

A Spatial Sound Lab brings together pioneering multichannel and spatial audio through the project Leftroman, the performing alias of MIT professor Ian Condry. Rooted in MIT’s Spatial Sound Lab, founded in 2019, this collaboration centers immersive listening experiences, sound installations, and experimental electronic performances that place the audience inside a dynamic sonic environment. The project emphasizes community-focused events, listening sessions, and depths of spatial composition that resonate with both scholars and listeners in the Boston area and beyond.

Ian Condry, a respected MIT professor and media scholar, channels his research into practical soundscapes, creating sample-based electronic music for multichannel contexts. As Leftroman, he curates and performs works that explore the edges of spatial sound, often presented in intimate, venue-based settings that invite active listening.

MIT’s Spatial Sound Lab hosts engaging events such as Dissolve Music @ MIT, a platform for experimental music and immersive listening. The 2025 edition is scheduled for October 2–3, 2025, at MIT’s Building W97 black box theater, continuing the tradition of blending academic insight with captivating live soundscapes. Whether you’re a devoted follower of academic-aesthetic electronic music or a curious first-timer, A Spatial Sound Lab offers a thoughtfully crafted experience designed to showcase the potential of spatial audio.

Upcoming appearances are closely tied to the MIT Dissolve Music events in 2025, with performances presented in a venue designed for experimental, spatial listening. For fans, secure your seats early to experience the layered textures and motion of Leftroman’s multichannel compositions, which blend field recordings, modular synthesis, and strategic spatial placement.
